REQUEST A QUICK PRICE 

Key features of our ramps and steps include:

• Infill Handrails: Installed between the handrails, these prevent users from slipping through the sides, enhancing safety for all, particularly wheelchair users and children.
• Handrails with Looped Ends: Our handrails are designed with looped ends to minimise the risk of injury and to prevent bags or clothing from getting caught on sharp edges.
• Slip-Resistant Surface: Our systems feature a slip-resistant surface to provide better grip in all weather conditions, which is essential in Scotland’s often rainy climate.
• Maximum Gradient of 1:12: We ensure our systems comply with the recommended gradient for safe and easy access for wheelchair users and individuals with limited mobility.
• Yellow Tread Strips: These yellow GRP (glass reinforced plastic) strips highlight edges and changes in level, enhancing visibility and reducing the risk of tripping. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with visual impairments.
• Landings: Flat landings are provided at the top, bottom, and on longer ramps, giving users a safe place to pause and navigate the incline.

We aslo offer flexible service packages that include supply, installation, and rental options tailored to the specific needs of your projects. Our team is committed to ensuring timely delivery and installation, helping you meet your deadlines while fully complying with building regulations.
