"When you need a modular solution for easier access to your home or business, the 8' Silver Spring Roll-Tek Modular Ramp Kit is there for you. Manufactured from anodized, aircraft-grade aluminum, the ramps and platforms won't rust, and are lighter than steel for easier assembly. The entire ramp system breaks down for efficient storage or travel, and extra length can be added at any time by ordering extra links. The Roll-Tek platforms install easily to Roll-Tek modular ramp kits to provide a level surface where individuals in wheelchairs, scooters, or those using a walker or other mobility device can safely and comfortably turn 90 degrees. Choose your ramp length, whether or not you require handrails, platforms and reinforced support legs (if rise is 35"" or greater). The quick-connect pins make it easy to split the ramp into shorter sections, connect them together, or break the ramp down for easy storage without tools. The lower approach plate smooths the ground-to-ramp transition, and the upper approach plate is designed to work with the first ramp link to rest on the landing for a safe, stable rise-to-ramp transition. The upper approach plate by itself is not load-bearing and in total requires 12"" of landing space. The ramp can be shortened easily if your situation or needs change, for instance if you need to add handrails or make it fit to accommodate a different location."
