Rampit USA United Series 60" Wide Commercial Aluminum Ramp – Ultra-Wide ADA Compliant Access System

The 60-inch clear width of this United Series ramp is specifically designed to exceed standard ADA minimums, facilitating easier two-way traffic and meeting stricter local egress codes for high-occupancy buildings. In environments such as schools, hospitals, and municipal centers, this extra width allows for the simultaneous passage of a wheelchair and a pedestrian, or two wheelchairs, without congestion. This dimension is often a technical requirement for "major occupancy" buildings where emergency evacuation plans demand wider accessible routes to prevent bottlenecks. By providing a 5-foot wide path of travel, facility managers ensure their infrastructure is future-proofed against evolving accessibility and safety standards. This makes the 60-inch model the premier choice for professional outfitting in the B2B and government sectors.

Every Rampit USA United Series ramp is manufactured from high-strength, 6000-series aluminum alloy to provide a high load-bearing capacity without the risk of rust or structural rot. The walking surface features a permanent, aggressive knurled texture that provides superior traction and slip-resistance even when saturated by rain or covered in light frost. Unlike grip tapes or painted-on textures, this integral slip-resistance will not peel or wear down under the friction of heavy daily foot traffic or power-chair wheels. The aluminum construction also ensures that the ramp does not become a thermal hazard, as it dissipates heat more effectively than steel or asphalt in direct sunlight. These technical material properties ensure a safe, predictable transit environment for all patients and visitors.

The modular design of the United Series allows for seamless integration with existing site features, including concrete porches, specialized doorways, and custom resting platforms. Each section is engineered to bolt together with precision-fit connectors, maintaining a flush, trip-free transition between the ramp modules and the building entrance. This system is highly adaptable, allowing for straight runs, L-shaped turns, or U-shaped switchbacks depending on the available site topography and the required 1:12 slope ratio. Facility specialists can also add matching 60"x60" or larger platforms to provide the necessary turning clearance required at door swings or direction changes. This flexibility eliminates the need for expensive site-specific architectural drawings or permanent masonry work.

Choosing an aluminum modular ramp provides a significantly higher ROI than concrete due to its zero-maintenance requirements and the ability to be reconfigured or relocated. Concrete ramps are subject to cracking and settling over time, often requiring expensive grinding or patching to maintain ADA compliance, whereas aluminum maintains its exact grade and surface integrity indefinitely. The "all-aluminum" construction means no painting, staining, or waterproofing is ever required, drastically reducing the lifetime labor costs for facility maintenance teams. Furthermore, because the system is modular, it is considered "equipment" rather than a permanent building improvement, which can offer tax advantages through accelerated depreciation. If a facility closes or moves, the ramp can be disassembled and reused, preserving the initial capital investment.

As a "Made to Order" commercial product, the 60-inch wide United Series ramp typically follows a 10-15 business day production cycle to ensure all technical specifications are met. Rescue Supply provides dedicated logistics support, including custom freight quotes that account for the oversized nature of 5-foot wide ramp sections and handrail components. We work closely with procurement officers to coordinate delivery timelines with on-site installation crews, ensuring that the necessary offloading equipment is available upon arrival. For government and institutional contracts, we provide all necessary documentation for BAA/TAA compliance and can facilitate specialized billing requirements. This end-to-end project management ensures that high-priority accessibility upgrades are completed without administrative or logistical delays.
