Advantages of Walk Ramps
Enhanced Mobility and Independence
The primary benefit of these pieces of equipment is improved mobility and independence for individuals with physical challenges. When faced with stairs or steep inclines, people who use wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids can often feel dependent on others for assistance.
Reduced Risk of Accidents and Injuries
Speaking of well-being, ramps also offer a significant safety advantage. Stairs and steep inclines can be dangerous for anyone, but they pose an even greater risk for individuals with physical limitations. A simple slip or loss of balance on these surfaces can result in serious injuries, which can significantly impact their quality of life.
Easy to Install and Cost-Effective Solution
One of the many great things about installing a walk ramp is how simple and cost-effective it is. Unlike other accessibility solutions, such as elevators or lifts, ramps require minimal modifications to the existing structure.
Versatile Usage in Various Settings
Another key characteristic of walk ramps is their versatility. They can be used in a wide range of settings, from outdoor spaces to public buildings and even private residences.
Application of Walk Ramps
Loading and Unloading Equipment and Machinery from Trucks and Trailers
Walk ramps provide a safe and efficient way to move bulky items such as excavators, tractors, and forklifts onto trucks and trailers for transport to different job sites.
Moving Building Materials
Walk ramps can also be used to move construction materials, such as cement bags, steel pipes, and timber, from ground level onto elevated platforms, such as scaffolding or elevated floors, where they are needed.
Accessing Confined Spaces
Walk ramps are also useful for accessing confined spaces, such as underground storage tanks, that are difficult to reach. Walk ramps make it easier to move heavy equipment in and out of these spaces.
Loading and Unloading Furniture
Walk ramps can also be used to load and unload bulky furniture items, such as sofas and beds, onto trucks and trailers for transport to new homes or stores.
Providing Accessibility to Buildings
Walk ramps can be used to make buildings accessible to people with disabilities by bridging the gap between the ground and elevated entrances.
There are a lot of reasons why you should never consider any other kind of material besides aluminum for your ramps. Here are just a few.
Aluminum is much lighter than steel, wood or concrete – other materials commonly used to build ramps. But just because it’s lighter, that doesn’t mean you’ll ever have to sacrifice strength. Ramps are made from special alloys that make them stronger than steel or any other ramp material.
If you want a wood ramp to keep looking and performing its best, you’ll have to seal it at least once – very likely more than once – every year. Otherwise, it will pose a safety hazard due to warping or rotting. That won’t be necessary with aluminum. Once you put it into place, that’s all you need to do.
You can also assemble aluminum ramps much faster than ramps made of other materials. If the need should ever arise, you can relocate an aluminum ramp very easily. One of the reasons this is the case is that our ramps come in single-piece extruded sections. This basically means that you’ll never have to worry about spot welding or other types of mechanical joining. It also makes our ramps much stronger, and less prone to loosening like steel ramps.
Things to Note When Installing a Walking Ramp
You’ll never know how helpful a walk ramp can truly be until the point in time comes along when you need to transport a heavy object from an elevated area down to the ground or vice versa. If you are someone who frequently moves heavy equipment or materials around, then you understand just how difficult, inconvenient, time consuming, and sometimes painful it is to have to lift those things into the back of a truck, into a storage container, onto a porch, etc.
One of the things you need to do that is part of the safety precautions when using walk ramps is to choose the right ramp size. You never want to use a ramp that has too steep of an incline, so choosing the right length is vital!
There is an optional wheel kit that will help you out while transporting the ramp to the location in which you need to use it. This handy accessory item helps you roll the ramp instead of having to carry it and causing unnecessary back pain and strain.
The walk ramp has two different attachment methods to be able to fasten it to the supporting surface that you will be loading onto or unloading from. Those two attachment methods are clevis pins and a hook that is located underneath the ramp that you can use to fasten a strap to the supporting surface.
Precautions for Using Walking Ramps
Be Careful Not to Fall Backwards
When driving up a loading ramp, there is always a danger of the vehicle tipping over backwards. This risk is greater for vehicles with a high centre of gravity, such as motorcycles, than it is for vehicles with a low centre of gravity, such as forklifts. The simplest solution for driving safely up a loading ramp is to ensure that the powered wheel of the vehicle is uphill. This means that vehicles powered by rear wheel drive should be reversed up the loading ramp.
Stay on the Loading Ramp
Since there is also a risk of slipping off the side the loading ramp when loading and unloading various sizes of vehicles and equipment, it is important to use a loading ramp with an anti-slip surface. Anti-slip surfaces are specifically designed to prevent slippage in different types of weather conditions.
Ensure the Loading Ramp is Attached
One of the most important things that you can do to ensure the safety of the workers using the loading ramp is to make sure that the ramp is tightly secured to the trailer. This can be done through the use of chains, safety straps, or hook connections. In the event that the safety chains or straps are too long, it is important to adjust them or else there might be a sag or gap between the ramp and trailer.
Keep the Loading Ramp Angle Low
The steeper the loading ramp, the greater the chance of an accident occurring. In order to create a lower ramp angle, consider placing the trailer on a lower surface than the surface the loading ramp is on to create a more level loading and unloading area.
