Ramps for Business
Commercial Ramps for Businesses — ADA Wheelchair Ramps & Loading Ramps
Every business needs safe, reliable access — for customers, employees, and equipment. Express Ramps supplies commercial-grade ramp solutions that keep your facility ADA-compliant and your operations moving, whether you're welcoming wheelchair users through the front door or loading freight out the back.
ADA-Compliant Wheelchair Ramps for Commercial Buildings
The EZ-ACCESS® PATHWAY® HD Commercial ADA Wheelchair Ramp System is engineered to meet ADA ramp code requirements, including the 1:12 slope ratio, handrail specifications, and platform sizing mandated for public accommodations. Built from heavy-duty aluminum, PATHWAY® HD ramps install quickly without welding or concrete work, making them ideal for:
- Retail stores, restaurants, and offices
- Medical and dental practices
- Schools, churches, and community buildings
- Government facilities and temporary structures
Modular components let you configure straight, L-shaped, or switchback layouts to fit virtually any entrance — and reconfigure or relocate the ramp if your needs change. Aluminum construction means no rust, no rot, and virtually no maintenance.
Portable Loading Ramps for Trucks, Trailers & Curbs
Move equipment, inventory, and deliveries safely with EZ-ACCESS® TRAVERSE™ portable loading ramps. The lineup includes walk ramps for box trucks and trailers, singlefold edgeless loading ramps for wider equipment, and portable curb ramps that conquer single steps and curbs up to 6 inches. Lightweight aluminum construction makes them easy for one person to position, yet strong enough for daily commercial use in warehouses, delivery routes, landscaping, and rental operations.
FAQs:
Q. What makes a wheelchair ramp ADA compliant?
A. ADA guidelines require a maximum slope of 1:12 (one foot of ramp per inch of rise), a minimum clear width of 36 inches, handrails on both sides for rises over 6 inches, edge protection, and level landings at the top and bottom and every 30 feet of run. PATHWAY® HD ramps are engineered to meet these requirements.
Q. Are businesses required to have a wheelchair ramp?
A. Under the ADA, places of public accommodation must remove barriers to access where readily achievable. If your entrance has steps, an ADA-compliant ramp is one of the most common and cost-effective solutions. Consult local code officials for permit and site-specific requirements.
Q. How long of a ramp does my business need?
A. Using the ADA 1:12 slope, multiply your total rise in inches by 1 foot. Example: a 24-inch rise requires a 24-foot ramp plus landings. Our Ramp Wizard or a phone consultation (866-491-1110) can size your exact configuration.
Q. Do commercial ramps require concrete or permanent installation?
A. No. PATHWAY® HD modular ramps install on grade without welding or poured footings in most applications, and can be reconfigured or relocated later. Check local building codes for permit requirements.
Q. How much weight can a portable loading ramp hold?
A. Capacities vary by model. TRAVERSE™ walk and loading ramps are rated for commercial use with equipment, hand trucks, and cargo — see each product page for its specific weight rating.
Q. How fast will my ramp ship?
A. Free ground shipping to the contiguous U.S. typically delivers in 3–5 business days. Larger ramp systems ship by freight truck and may require a delivery appointment.
Q. Can my organization order tax-exempt or finance a ramp?
A. Yes. Express Ramps supports sales tax exemptions for qualifying organizations and offers ramp financing options.
