Ramps are available in two forms which are permanently and permanently fixed or semi-permanent but removable. Some ramps can be modular and be easily adjusted by professionals.

Durability

Durability is an important factor to consider when selecting the ramp that will be able to allow wheelchairs. Durability plays a major role in how well the ramp can withstand weather conditions like snow and rain. It also determines how it will be moved, installed or removed. Aluminum ramps can withstand heavy weights without being damaged. They require minimal maintenance, since they aren't rusty. These ramps are great for outdoor use due to their gritted surface is able to provide the ability to grip in all weather conditions.

Wooden ramps can be less durable and must be replaced more often than other options. Even with regular paint and pressure treatment, wooden ramps can be prone to rot.

Wooden ramps aren't easy to put up, and are not as mobile as alternatives.

Stability

It should also be able to withstand environmental elements like rain and snow. The ramps should be secured with pins or anchors and placed in areas that can withstand maximum pressure. If the anchors are placed too close to the ramp, the user could encounter instability and be at risk of falling off.

Some ramps made of metal come with lip extensions to increase stability. They smooth out the transition between the ramp and the surface. They are also able to be equipped with side rails that have been flattened to stop people from rolling off the ramp. Some aluminum ramps may be equipped with handrail kits to give additional security and safety.

Another advantage of ramps made of metal is that they are typically designed to be as lightweight as is possible. They are typically made of aluminum, which makes them lighter and more portable than wooden counterparts. A majority of them have trifolding designs that allows them to be folded in half width-wise and lengthways. This makes them more convenient to transport. This makes them a great option for commercial or residential settings.

The ramp's surface must also be designed with a high-traction surface to minimize the risk for slips and accidents. Many ramps are equipped with a grit-coated surface, EZ Traction punch plate or extruded aluminium to ensure the highest level of stability and safety.

Modular ramps can be built with a few basic tools at the site. They are made from aluminum. They're ideal for semi-permanent or temporary access to homes in cases where a permanent ramp isn't able to be installed.
