Ramp alternatives

Were you aware that a ramps gradient to meet DDA requirements is set to 1 in 12? In Layman’s terms one inch of height is 12 inches of ramp length. With an average set of outside steps having 5 steps ( at around 5inches each) you would be looking at a 25 foot ramp to meet the requirements. This becomes then an unfeasible and unrealistic solution. In this scenario the stair climber then becomes possibly the only option.

Did you know?

Disabilities Discrimination Act (DDA).

Do you meet the DDA requirements for access in your facility? Can wheelchair users access and if required evacuate on stair wells without leaving their wheelchair? Our mobility access solutions can help ensure compliance.

Assessments

Our no obligation assessments will give you an insight into areas to improve on with your facilities current access. A full access solution will be offered and quoted for with full implementation/training and after care provided to ensure effective mobility access solutions.

    James Mears

    Assistant Vice President

    “We contacted the Stair Climbing Company in 2020 with regards to fitting our Berkley Square building with evacuation equipment. Our issue was basement evacuation but after an assessment by Chris it was advised that their Skyline stair climbers would evacuate up from the basement, secondly all the evacuation equipment was supplied using our Blackstone colour pallet to meet the requirements of our organisation. The Stair Climbing Company have since provided the same service with deployment and training to our second London property, Dublin and Frankfurt branches. They continue to service all equipment and provide refresher training annually. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to assess their current building needs for evacuation, servicing and training”

  • Mercure

    Karen Johnston

    General Manager

    “Many thanks to The Stair Climbing Company for arranging for the purchase of a stair climber at our hotel, the company arranged everything from start to finish.  As the hotel is housed in a 15th century watermill, getting disabled customers around our property was proving to be difficult, now that we have a stair climber, we can provide access to the whole hotel for everyone.  We are now in a position to offer disabled wedding guests access all areas making it possible for us to expand our wedding services.”

  • Eastnor Castle

    David Littlewood

    General Manager at Eastnor Castle

    “Our Guides at Eastnor Castle found the Skyline easy to use. We would not be able to provide access
    for our mobility challenged visitors without it and the tracked machine provides safe access up a
    number steps to enable our visitors to visit our state rooms. We have a number of public events over
    the summer months so we want to cater for everyone.
    The Stair Climbing Company delivered our Stair Climber and trained our guides how to use the
    machine and we were very impressed with the service we received”
