Features and Benefits of Our Modular Wheelchair Ramps

As a leading dealer of modular wheelchair ramps in New Jersey, we are focused on supporting our customers with our commitment to excellence. The design of our ramps is important to us, so we pay close attention to appearance, ease of installation, and durability.

With these characteristics in mind, we construct our modular ramps to meet the highest quality. Our ramps feature nonskid surfaces with durable stainless-steel hardware for safety and lasting use. Additionally, we create a seamless connection between the ramp and its base to ensure they support up to 1,000 pounds of weight. For people in wheelchairs and their family members, modular ramps offer the following benefits:

Adaptability

Modular ramps are made of prefabricated sections that are assembled at a home or business. They are often made of lightweight aluminum and can be configured in various ways to accommodate different environments. Since they are lightweight and not permanent, they can be adapted or moved if needed.

Customization

Compared to other types of wheelchair ramps, modular wheelchair ramps can be customized to fit your home or business and your needs. Your home’s layout determines the platform your ramp rests on and its final shape. We aim to make it easy and safe for you to enter your home, so we align your ramp to your preferred entrance. This alignment creates a natural-looking entrance.

Easy Installation

Modular ramps are easy to set up because their components fit together seamlessly. Our trained technicians can install your wheelchair ramp in a short time, without excavation. Additionally, when you move or no longer need your ramp, it is easy to disassemble and move.

Aluminum vs. Wood Ramps

All our ramps, including our portable wheelchair ramps and threshold ramps, are made of aluminum. We opt for aluminum ramps because they are durable, will not rot or rust, and are virtually maintenance-free. Other reasons we prefer aluminum include:

• We can assemble them quickly with minimal tools.
• Your ramp can be expanded, reconfigured, or moved as your needs change.
• Aluminum ramps can be reused, resold, or rented.
• Aluminum has no impact on the environment.

Conversely, wood ramps are subject to decay and require regular maintenance to keep them in working order. Additionally, you need a building permit to install a wood modular ramp. Assembly of wood wheelchair ramps is more complicated, meaning you may need to hire a contractor or carpenter. A wooden can also take up to two days to install. The only way to reconfigure a wood ramp is by demolishing and rebuilding it. Finally, wood ramps can lower the resell value of your home, cannot be resold, and may have potentially dangerous chemicals or applied treatments that may harm the environment.
