These
days, compared to just a few years back, wheelchair and wheelchair users have
definitely better choices of equipments. For wheelchair ramps alone, there are
now several models which users can choose from depending on their needs and
use. One group is the ez access ramps.
These
ADA-compliant modular wheelchair ramps are one of the easiest to install and
dismantle for removal. Designed for less use of hardware, this type is suited
for home and light commercial use for those who need help beyond the scope of
regular wheelchair ramps.
Advantages
One
distinct advantage of ez access ramps is the choice of making multiple configurations
to the ramp to apply to the user’s situation. One can add a step, a ramp or
maybe extend some existing patios. The result is complete integration, from
bottom to top.
The
ramps are all ADA compliant (sometimes exceeding the official specifications,
guidelines and requirements), and they are easily configured for almost any
site. The ramp installation is fast (using less hardware) and easy. A 24-foot
modular ramp can be installed in an hour, including handrails.
Features
These
ramps carry a handful of very note-worthy features for a wheelchair runway.
First, the modular ramps and platforms are all made of lightweight aluminum.
There’s a pending patent on the ramps connecting system where drilling and
riveting handrails are completely eliminated.
Like
its name, EZ access ramps, the care is easy because it is maintenance-free with
its extruded slip-resistant surface. There is a 36-inch usable width which can
accommodate larger equipments. The legs are independently adjustable and the
capacity is 850 pounds.
EZ
Single-fold design
The
number one feature of the single-fold design is its being ultra-strong and yet
gives the safety and strength needed while remaining lightweight and portable.
The carrying handle is built-in and there is a self-adjusting bottom transition
plate for easy conversion from ramp to ground.
For
wheelchairs, there is the no-pinch, non-protruding full-length live hinge and
durable handles. These handles are ergonomically designed to the enhanced
extruded tread for superior traction. The ramp was specifically re-designed
from the ground up to lead the industry’s best.
The
welded construction gives out long-term durability and safety. Its weight
capacity is 800 lbs.
EZ
Three-fold design
The
EZ-Access Trifold Ramp Advantage series has a unique thee-fold design that
makes them some of the most portable mobility ramps around. For wheelchairs, scooters,
minivans and raised landings, the EZ three-fold design makes their ingress and
egress easier and better.
Not
only that, the three-fold design also makes it easier and convenient for
carrying. Simply pull the built-in pin to separate the width into two pieces
and then fold in half-length-wise. Each of the halves has an integrated handle
for convenient carrying. (There are five different lengths to choose from.)
Some
advantages include the aluminum materials (lightweight aircraft grade) that can
hold up to 800 lbs. The three-fold design makes it easier to carry than the
others. The non-skid surface has an excellent traction for safety, while the
pivoting foot plate gives smooth transition. Available lengths are 5 feet up to
10 feet. EZ Access ramps top them for ease and comfort of use.
