Stairs are everywhere in La Crosse, WI, Sparta, WI, Onalaska, WI, Rochester, MN, Winona, MN, and the surrounding areas, and that’s because they work for most people. However there are other people who are in wheelchairs or using crutches or some other mobility device that find stairs to be challenging at best, or impossible at worst. At Access Mobility Products we have a permanent solution with the wheelchair ramps that we offer for both residential and commercial properties. These wheelchair ramps can remain in place all year round, and they have a surface that will provide grip no matter what the weather is like. And while they are sturdy, they can be moved if needed as well. Contact our team today to learn more about adding a wheelchair ramp to your home or building.
Ramps Are Nothing New
Even if you are able to take the stairs without any issue, most people like the gradual incline from a ramp where they don’t need to expend as much effort. Stairs exist so that you can get up to an area in a shorter distance, but with extra energy expended with this shorter distance. Stairs have the limitation that they can only be used by able-bodied people, where nearly anyone can use a ramp, including those in a wheelchair, using a scooter, on crutches, have limited range of motion, and others.
The wheelchair ramps that we offer are fully made from aluminum which is a light weight material that is also very strong. Our wheelchair ramps also offer hand rails that can be used by people to help steady themselves while using the ramp. These wheelchair ramps provide ease of use combined with safety for everyone who uses them.
More Than Just for Those in Wheelchairs
While wheelchair ramps have the term ‘wheelchair’ in the name, in truth many others find their use much more appealing than stairs. People using strollers for their very young children or even pets, pets on leashes that may have difficulty navigating stairs, those with temporary stability or other ailments, those with poor vision, and others all benefit from using the ramp with a shallow incline/decline. Wheelchair ramps are really made to make it easier to get into homes and other buildings.
While not taking the place of stairs, as many people prefer these, a wheelchair ramp will provide a supplement to your stairs and make it easy for anyone of any ability to come indoors in La Crosse, WI, Sparta, WI, Onalaska, WI, Rochester, MN, Winona, MN, and the surrounding areas. At Access Mobility Products we can help you to get the right sized wheelchair ramp for your building and make it easier to get in and out of your home or building. Contact us today to learn more.
