Rampit USA Independence Series 48" Wide Ramp | Premium Residential Mobility Infrastructure
Safe, High-Capacity Accessibility for the Modern Home
Standard 36-inch ramps can feel restrictive for users of large power chairs, bariatric equipment, or those who require a caregiver to walk alongside them. The Rampit USA Independence Series 48" Wide Residential Ramp provides the extra lateral space necessary for a more confident and dignified transition. Engineered specifically for permanent or semi-permanent residential use, this all-aluminum modular system offers the structural rigidity of a custom-built permanent structure with the flexibility of a modular design that can be expanded or relocated as needs change.
The Independence Series is defined by its maintenance-free lifecycle and superior traction. Constructed from high-strength, rust-proof aluminum, the ramp features a continuous non-slip surface that provides aggressive grip in rain, snow, or high humidity. Its heavy-duty 48-inch width is ideal for bariatric applications and facilitates easier maneuvering for complex mobility devices. With a modular "bolt-together" architecture, this ramp eliminates the need for messy on-site welding or wood construction, providing a professional-grade access solution that installs in hours rather than days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Does the Rampit USA Independence Series meet the 1:12 slope ratio and 36-inch clear width requirements for ADA-compliant residential installations?
The Rampit USA Independence Series is engineered to meet or exceed the 1:12 ADA slope ratio and the mandatory 36-inch clear width between handrails for safe residential and light-institutional access. This specific geometry ensures that for every inch of vertical rise, there is 12 inches of horizontal run, providing a manageable incline of approximately 4.8 degrees for manual wheelchair users. The system's usable width is strictly maintained to allow ample clearance for standard mobility devices and bariatric wheelchairs. While residential codes can sometimes be less stringent, adhering to these ADA benchmarks mitigates liability and ensures the highest safety standards for all users. Procurement officers can rely on this standardized engineering to satisfy local building permits and accessibility audits.
-
How does the modular design of the Independence Series allow for site-specific integration and future scalability in evolving facility layouts?
The modular design of this series utilizes interchangeable ramp sections and platforms that allow for "L-turn," "U-turn," or "straight" configurations to suit any architectural footprint. This scalability is a key asset for facility managers who may need to relocate or reconfigure the system as facility accessibility needs change over time. Each component is freestanding and requires no permanent footings or landscape modifications, allowing for rapid deployment and future expansion. The use of universal connecting hardware ensures that adding additional 5'x5' resting platforms or ramp extensions is a seamless process. This flexibility directly addresses the technical hurdle of site-specific obstacles such as trees, utilities, or irregular property lines.
-
What is the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) advantage of utilizing non-corrosive 6061-T6 aluminum over traditional pressure-treated wood systems?
The Independence Series offers a superior TCO by utilizing rust-free aluminum components that eliminate the costs associated with sanding, staining, and replacing rotted lumber. Unlike wood ramps that degrade under UV exposure and moisture, this all-aluminum system is non-corrosive and maintains its structural integrity for a lifetime. The initial capital investment is offset within 3 to 5 years by the near-zero maintenance requirements and the industry-leading lifetime manufacturer's warranty. Additionally, the high resale value and portability of aluminum components provide a residual asset value that wood systems lack. For institutions, this means a predictable long-term budget without the hidden labor costs of recurring safety inspections and structural repairs.
-
What are the primary technical specifications regarding weight capacity, live load ratings, and the slip-resistance of the extruded tread?
The Independence Series is constructed from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum, capable of supporting a live load of 100 pounds per square foot (psf) and concentrated loads exceeding 300 lbs. The walking surface features a solid extruded tread with integrated ridges that provide aggressive, multi-directional slip resistance in rain, snow, or icy conditions. This technical specification ensures that the ramp remains a stable, firm, and safe transition point regardless of environmental exposure. The lightweight nature of the aluminum allows for high-strength performance without the excessive dead weight associated with steel or concrete alternatives. These performance metrics are critical for technical specialists verifying that the ramp can withstand high-frequency daily use in demanding environments.
-
Are there redundant safety mechanisms integrated into the handrails and edge protection to prevent accidental wheelchair departures or falls?
Safety is reinforced through the inclusion of smooth, continuous handrails and integrated 2-inch minimum curbs that act as a redundant edge protection system. The handrails are mounted at the ADA-recommended height of 34 to 38 inches and are designed to provide a secure, ergonomic grip without interruptions from posts or hardware. The integrated side curbs prevent wheelchair casters and crutch tips from slipping off the edge of the ramp, providing a vital layer of protection for users with limited upper body control. For larger installations, these safety features satisfy the "means of egress" requirements found in many state building codes. By prioritizing mechanical safety barriers, Rampit USA reduces the clinical and legal risks associated with patient and resident transfer operations.
