What's the difference between a butt ramp and a curb ramp?
What's the difference between a bevel and a threshold ramp?
What's the warranty on TJ Rampit ramps?
How do I keep my ramp from getting slippery, especially in the winter?
Can I rent an aluminum ramp?
A butt ramp doesn't have a bevel at the top which would normally lie on the threshold. Instead, it butts up to the threshold. It has legs underneath and will be used when a door swings out.
A curb ramp is used when a door swings in. This has a bevel on both ends and will lie on the threshold.
Our aluminum ramps are equipped with a special anti-slip tread. These grooves help to prevent most slippage. In the winter, however, ramps need to be treated as if they were a sidewalk. They need to be swept off with a broom and salt needs to be put on them in order to help melt ice and keep the ramp from becoming slippery.
Our wood/aluminum ramps also are equipped with an anti-slip sand surface. Just like the aluminum ramps, wood/aluminum ramps need to be swept off and have salt placed on them in the winter months.
A bevel is at the bottom of a ramp which aids in a smoother transition from the ground to the ramp, or the ramp to the ground.
A threshold ramp is typically used for 1-2" elevations. It is used for a smoother transition from outside on the ramp to inside your home.
We guarantee our aluminum ramps will stay in great condition for at least 10 years. This is by far the longest warranty in the ramp industry! In almost all cases, our aluminum ramps last well beyond our 10 year warranty. If for some reason one of our aluminum ramps doesn't last up to its 10 year warranty, we will replace it. Our aluminum ramps are very low maintenance - just use a broom or garden hose to remove dirt, and salt to melt ice and snow. You'll never have to worry about aluminum ramps rusting, unlike steel ramps.
Our wood/aluminum ramps have a 1 year warranty due to nature causing defects such as warping, discoloring, small cracks, or shrinking.
Our rental program includes the wood ramps. We do not include all aluminum ramps in our rental program. Below is an example of one of our rentals.
