Ramp & Stair Lift Features That Solve Mobility Problems
Have you or a loved one experienced the setback of an accident recently, or found yourself in need of a wheelchair or scooter due to the effects of a progressive illness? If you have, you may be in need of a ramp or stair lift for accessibility at your Atlanta or north Georgia home.
Wheelchair and scooter ramp construction details and specifications vary substantially and require careful consideration as you plan to build or install a ramp. Attention must be given to slope, landings, railings, weight classifications, threshold ramps and more. Whether you are seeking to solve a temporary accessibility issue or require a permanent ramp solution will affect the ramp selection. For a temporary ramp, rental of an aluminum ramp may be most feasible. For a permanent ramp, both wood ramps and aluminum ramps work well.
