Lightweight Wheelchair Ramps

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Mobility has developed into an increasingly more prominent feature in modern day living, with buildings, houses and other establishments being more accessible than ever. However, for wheelchair users, life could always be that little bit easier, and mobility difficulties are still faced both out and about and within the home. Wheelchair ramps offer an excellent yet simple solution, for ease of access wherever you are. Here at K5, we supply a high standard of ramps to be used across a range of locations for ultimate ease and maximum mobility.

Despite an increase in awareness in regards to the mobility problems which wheelchair users face, they are still often faced with problematic situations which inhibit their entry to certain places. We believe that wheelchair users should be able to have the independence of access which others freely enjoy, and for this reason offer a range of high quality ramps.

The ramps which we provide have been designed with maximum ease of use in mind. They are both lightweight and strong, allowing for easy transportation and reliability. They are also all extremely durable and versatile, meaning you can carry them wherever you go, and not be let down, no matter what situation you may encounter.

Our AeroLight and PerfoLight ramps both offer excellent practical features, and come with useful folding options, for ease in carrying. The range includes ramps for a wide array of uses, whether unloading onto or out of a vehicle, climbing up a small step, or bridging doorlines, for mobility across indoor thresholds. All ramps also offer an exceptional level of grip, so you won’t have to worry about the ramp sliding out of place, whilst in use.

Wheelchair ramps offer people the freedom and practicality which wheelchair users deserve. For mobility as it should be, look to K5 for ideal and practical products and solutions.

Wheelchair and Access Ramps

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Installing wheelchair ramps and providing access to other parts of the home, office or other premises that would otherwise be out of reach for wheelchair users is crucial in handing back individuals’ independence. These adjustments should conform to all wheelchair regulations, and specialists should put together a host of solutions for users that meet stringent legislation while providing functionality and ease of use. Their lightweight construction ensures strength but easy pick-up, meaning they can be taken anywhere comfortably.

Many of today’s wheelchair ramps fold away into a briefcase size, complete with a carry handle, in a matter of seconds, to ensure maximum efficiency. And they are easy to set-up in timely fashion as well.
There is also a range of wheelchair lifts available that provide convenient and dignified access for people with disabilities into buildings where access has until now been restricted or completely unavailable. This lift selection provide access to both indoor and outdoor applications, from conference facilities to sports halls, making them ideal for use within environments such as airports, universities, colleges and commercial premises.

BS 8300:2001 is a regulation regarding the design of buildings and their approach to the needs of disabled people. It is a source of best practice for architects, builders, landlords and facility managers. It encourages design solutions that enable ease of access for wheelchair users to public buildings such as schools, theatres, shops etc.

Within the BS 8300:2001 framework is a section of legislation on portable ramps. Regulation is sketchy at best in this area, but suggests that where physical access to a building is ‘unreasonably difficult’ then steps to remedy this through reasonable adjustments should be made.

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (c 50) is an Act of the Parliament that states that it is unlawful to discriminate against people in respect of their disability in terms of employment, the provision of goods and services, education and transport. It is a civil rights law, and ensures that disabled people are not inhibited in the life that they can lead.

If you are seeking the services of a wheelchair service provider, make sure that you work with an organisation that adheres to all access and wheelchair ramps regulations, and who strive to make the life of disabled people that little bit easier by doing everything they can to ensure access to all locations.
