FAQ

Do concrete footers need to be poured?

Our multi-positional base feet have a large footprint which eliminates the need for concrete pavers or poured footers. They are also offset and rotatable, allowing you to tuck them under a ramp or set them close to a wall.

Does my modular ramp system have to go straight out or can it turn?

You can configure the system to be a straight run or it can turn left or right by simply using a turn platform. The ramp system can also incorporate a switchback by using a turn back platform or it can extend at an angle by using a 45 degree angle platform. The system can be configured to meet your exact needs.

What sizes do the platforms and ramps come in?

We offer standard resting platforms in the following sizes: 4'x4', 4'x5', 5'x5', 5'x6', 6'x6' and 8'x5'. Ramps are 36” & 48” wide and come in lengths of 2’-8’. Custom sizes are available upon request.

What do I use for ice and snow removal on ramps, platforms, and steps?

We suggest using Magnesium Chloride salt substitute. Check out a blog we wrote on this!

Why don't you sell platforms without handrails?

Safety is important to us and selling platforms with handrails is our standard.

What kind of tread is used on this ramp system?

Our platforms consist of a knurled, extruded tread for multi-directional traction, and our ramps feature a raised-rib, extruded tread for ultimate slip-resistance.

Can I get the black applied surface on this ramp?

No, it is not available on our modular ramp system. This surface is available on two of our SUITCASE® portable folding ramps.

How long will installation take?

Depending on the configuration, installation time will vary, however a 24-foot system can typically be assembled with minimal tools in less than 30 minutes.

Do the steps have to connect to one of your platforms?

The steps can not only connect to one of our platform but they can also easily connect to an existing platform or deck because they have 4 independently adjustable legs.
