Ramps for wheelchairs

Platform gratings used as ramps or wheelchair ramps are a solution that provides people with reduced mobility with easier access to different spaces, especially where traditional stairs could be a barrier. Thanks to their design, platform gratings are lightweight yet strong enough to withstand the weight of wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Advantages of using gratings as ramps:

1. Anti-slip surface: gratings are characterised by their natural anti-slip properties due to the holes in the structure. This significantly improves the safety of users, especially in wet, rainy or icy conditions.
2. Durability and strength: Platform gratings made of corrosion-resistant materials (e.g. galvanised steel) are highly durable and weather-resistant, making them suitable for outdoor use in areas exposed to varying weather conditions.
3. Lightweight and easy to install: Gratings are relatively lightweight compared to other materials such as concrete or solid steel plates, making them easy to transport and install. At the same time, their structure allows the ramp to be quickly assembled and dismantled when required.
4. Structural flexibility: gratings can be easily cut and adapted to the individual dimensions of the ramp or driveway, allowing them to be perfectly adapted to the space and requirements of the users.
5. Sufficient load-bearing capacity: the platform gratings provide sufficient load-bearing capacity for wheelchairs, transport trolleys and people using walkers. The appropriate thickness of the bars and their arrangement ensure stability and safety when using the ramp.
6. Airy: The open structure of the grating ensures good ventilation and drainage of rainwater, so the ramp does not collect water or create pools of water, which can be problematic with other types of paving.
