A lot of focus has been placed upon increased accessibility for the disabled in the last few years. Legal requirements concerning accessibility in public transport is on the rise in the UK, and this trend is set to continue for many years to come.
This is why ADS can supply a number of different access products that range from simple ramps and lifting platforms to more complex and specially designed solutions, which are all intended to create better conditions for passengers in wheelchairs.
The ramps are used as loose ramps, i.e. they typically stored in the train/bus and taken out when required.
The standard Lite ramps come in two lengths:
125 cm
165 cm
Both models have an inside width of 80 cm, a safety edge of 5 cm around the sides and a load capacity of 300kg.
The Lite ramps are the absolute lightest on the market due to a unique material composition consisting of glass and graphite fibre.
