wheelchair ramps

Wheelchair ramps are inclined surfaces designed to provide accessible pathways for individuals using wheelchairs, scooters, or those with mobility challenges. They replace stairs, allowing for safe and easier movement between different levels of a building or outdoor space. Ramps are built with a gentle slope, sturdy handrails, and a non-slip surface to ensure safety. Building codes specify the maximum slope and dimensions to accommodate various needs. Properly designed ramps promote independence, comply with accessibility laws, and improve overall safety for all users.
