What is a modular ramp?

Modular wheelchair ramps are ramp systems which are provided in various pieces which connect together to create the required ramp length. These ramps can be provided with or without handrails. They can be created in any length for a variety of heights. Generally the recommended gradient for a modular ramp is 1:12.

What size door is required for wheelchair access? 

It does depend on the size of the wheelchair. Our modular kits are provided in various widths between 900mm -1500mm whilst our portable ramps are provided in sizes from 660mm upwards. 

Can modular ramps be customised? 

Yes. The ramps can be provided in any length. The ramps can include platform(s) as required along with step kits and U-shaped handrails to meet the users needs. Our team will be happy to assist in providing a quote based on your requirements.

Do the ramps comply with Part M and Part K building regulations?

Our modular ramp kits are designed as portable, temporary solutions and therefore do not need to comply. If you do require a compliant system please let us know so we can provide a specification for you.

How long does it take to put the modular kit together?
