What’s
more, because Roll-a-Ramp meets
DDA requirements in most cases, problems associated
with planning permission for expensive permanent solid
incline structures are removed.
This
makes it particularly
valuable in areas of
historical importance,
listed buildings, traditional
seafront establishments
and the like. Fabricated
of lightweight yet tremendously
strong anodised aerospace
aluminium, the highly
adaptable ramp is easily
moved around to provide
access into and out of
buildings and vehicles,
as well as up and down
steps and over awkward
thresholds and rough
ground. It is a convenient
multipurpose tool for
use in hotels and catering
environments, where heavy
items such as catering
trolleys and quantities
of food, drink and equipment
frequently need to be
manoeuvred around.
Andrew
Cohen, Roll-a-Ramp Director,
comments: “The
fact that Roll-a-Ramp can
guarantee quick and problem-free
access for people with
impaired mobility means
that a wide range of
hotel and leisure facilities
can become available
to people who previously
might not have considered
visiting. An economical
and practical access
solution, the fact that
it can hold up to 1000kg
of distributed weight
means that it can also
be put to use for such
things as moving equipment.”
To
meet individual requirements,
two simple tools are
provided – an Allen
key and a spanner – which
are all that is needed
to adjust the overall
length by removing or
adding sections. For
added safety, reflectors
and yellow rubberised
pinch guards are fitted
between the individual
links and the sharply
contrasting black and
yellow colours provide
easy visibility for people
with impaired vision.
Fully
adjustable, with optional
handrails, Roll-a-Ramp is
available either as a
two-ramp system, or a
wide-base single ramp
for wheelchairs, motorised
scooters and as an in-place
access ramp. Both models
feature built-in safety
ridges that help to prevent
wheels from slipping
off the ramp surface,
which is perforated to
allow excess water to
drain away in rainy conditions. Roll-a-Ramp is
available to any length
required and comes with
carrying straps for transportation
and storage. Ramps and
extra sections are available
direct from Roll-a-Ramp
