Ra'alloy Ramps are probably one of the only companies who specialise in providing full structured access ramps, platforms and disabled access solutions that conform to Disability Access and Access For All BS 8300 with Part M guidelines. (see our simplified details here) and B6399 Loadings For Buildings (see more on our Technical Tab above)

Manufactured from structural grade aluminium together with our unique all weather anti slip floor, the ramps offer years of virtually maintenance free service.

Permanent disability ramps or semi permanent disability access ramps, we can offer a package that strengthwise can be compared with steel.

Our disability access solutions require no heavy lifting equipment to install.

Our standard design for Disabled Access Ramps and Access For All ramps is covered by full Engineers Reports based around the British Standard codes above and this enables us to adapt our standard modules to suit your ramp requirement, thus giving peice of mind that your ramp system you purchase is adequate for purpose and Health and Safety requirements

A choice of floor colours are available natural silver, black and gold and these can be combined in any way providing they contrast between the platforms and inclines.

Full spectrum colours are available for side walkboard kick flats which are finished in polyester powder coating.

Warm to the touch handrails are available in Blue, Red, Yellow and White

Stairtread nosings are generally yellow.

Either Light Duty, Medium Duty or Heavy Duty are available in our range and we will advise the best and most cost effective access solution. More information regarding the requirements for your building can be found by clicking the Technical Tab above.

Its also worth mentioning here that as we are one of the few companies that manufactureand in years to come you may find it necessary to move your ramp to another location. Due to the ramps maintenance free properties and everlasting charactoristics, and with a little adaption we can make it possible therefore cost effective.

Some facts about Ra'alloy Disabled Access Ramps and our Part M Access For All Ramps

• All constructional grade aluminium
• Warm to the touch top handrail
• Virtually maintenance free
  
• Everlasting all weather anti slip floor
• Change of surface warning floor plates
• Combined ramp, platform and stair systems are designed to withstand Safe Working Loads of up to 750 kgs
• Ground fixings can be permanent, either set into concrete or bolted or simply free standing depending on preference and conditions
• Quick installation without the use of lifting equipment

• Full design, manufacturing and installation facility

Ra'alloy disabilty access ramps can be manufactured to suit virtually any application. Take a look right and see how we have adapted our system to fit over an existing concrete disability ramp and bring it up to Access For all specifications without having to remove the ramp saving time and money on site.

Even the floor has an opening to service a manhole and does not lose any strength.

All Ra'alloy aluminium disabled ramps are manufactured in house under stringent quality conditions.

Our in-house deisgn ensures you get the optimum solution for your requirement and offers a model view of your system prior to manufacture which ensures that you are fully aware of the system that we are proposing and you have full satisfaction

Handrail

Our handrails are available with 2 variations, either double horizontal handrails or Ballustrade type handrails for use where infills are required and also to prevent climbing on, in particular at schools.

The top handrail is usually plastic coated and warm to the touch with a minimum 200 micron coating and can be supplied in various colours

Flooring

Our all weather anti slip floor is a specially designed aluminium extrusion which has ribs running across the span and is then serrated to give full lateral traction.

Running along the edge of the floor is a 10 cm upstand which is usually powder coated in a contrasting colour to the handrail and floor.

Where a landing is positioned the floor is usually anodised black, again contrasting with the silver floor. All landings also have a change of surface at the leading edges to warm of an incline.

Loadings

Ra'alloy standard Access For All and Disabled Access Ramps carry general engineers reports to confirm the base product conforms to loading and deflection charactoristics stated in BS6399 Loadings For Buildings ( BS6399 available here )

Exterrnal balconies or access ramps should accomodate the same loading as the rooms to which they give access.

The minimum imposed floor loadings given in BS6399 Part 1 is as follows

Private dwellings = 1.5kN/mē
Light Industrial / Offices = 2.5kN/mē
Institutional Buildings = 3.0kN/mē
Guest Houses / Social Clubs = 3.0kN/mē
Banking Halls / Laboratories = 3.0kN/mē
Hotels / Motels / Museums and Galleries = 4.0kN/mē
Industrial (medium) and Warehouses = 5.0kN/mē
Dance Halls / Theatres / Gymnasia = 5.0kN/mē
Industrial (heavy) Plant and Boiler Rooms = 7.5kN/mē

Ra'alloy manufacture three variants to cover the above - Light Duty which is Engineered up to carry up to 3.0kN/mē - Medium Duty which is Engineered to carry up to 5.0kN/mē and Heavy Duty Engineered up to 7.5 kN/mē

Our ramps assume a maximum deflection limit of span /300 which simply means that on a scale of 1 to 300 then 300 is the most rigid such as an office floor and say 125 is a very springy floored disabled ramp, very often found on buildings where the ramp does not comply to any loading requirement.

Either soft or hard suface base fixings are available and in both cases site disruption is kept to a minimum as no lifting equipment or groundwork equipment is necessary.

We are confident that we are probably one of the only companies that supply access ramps to meet the conditions set out above and manufacture to a standard tried, tested and carry's a full Engineers report to prove it.
