Access Ramps for Businesses

At Commercial Access, we know that wheelchair access ramps are more than just a convenience — they are a necessity and a legal requirement under the ADA. We’ve made it our mission to design and install aluminum wheelchair ramp systems that meet your customers’ and your business’ needs.

Platforms are required when a ramp is installed at a commercial building. This is to ensure safe entry and exit of the ramp at doorways or for landings when the specs call for one. There are specific requirements that must be met for each design. The team at Commercial Access are experts at designing platforms and ramps into a safe and fully functional system.

Our platforms are made of the same high-quality aluminum that our ramps are made from. They are designed to be used as an integrated system and fit together perfectly. The modular design of both our ramps and our resting platforms allow them to be quickly, efficiently and safely installed on virtually any commercial building including schools, universities, retail buildings, hospitals, modular buildings, and churches.

Why Businesses Need Accessibility Solutions

Safety is the most crucial consideration when designing buildings. Access ramps are one way to ensure that the building is safe for everyone who enters it, regardless of their mobility needs. Choose access ramps to:

Attract new customers. A barrier-free entrance ensures that even those with limited mobility can access your services and products.
Reduce liability risk: Quality access ramps help businesses avoid liability if a person gets hurt on your property, especially if an uneven or slanted walkway could cause someone to trip and fall while entering or exiting the building.
Invest in your business’s future: When you install an access ramp, you set your organization up to continue to grow and prosper as new technologies emerge and new regulations are put into place.
Follow necessary guidelines: Access ramps ensure your business complies with state and local building codes, which require many facilities to provide wheelchair-accessible entrances in new construction projects or when renovating existing buildings to meet ADA requirements.
Help with deliveries: With our quick-to-install, durable access ramp systems, you can improve the flow of goods in and out of your facility to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), commercial facilities open to the public or used by employees must provide accessible entrances and routes. This includes wheelchair ramps wherever there’s a change in level that can’t be addressed by a flush transition. New construction and renovations are both subject to these requirements. Failure to comply can result in legal liability and ADA complaints.

ADA and IBC codes require a landing platform at the top and bottom of any commercial ramp, and at any point where the ramp changes direction. The platform gives wheelchair users a safe space to stop, turn, and open doors without rolling backward. Standard platforms must be at least 60 inches by 60 inches. Commercial Access designs every ramp and platform as an integrated system to meet these requirements.

The ADA requires a maximum slope of 1:12 — one inch of rise for every 12 inches of run. For example, a 24-inch entrance elevation requires at least 24 feet of ramp. Steeper slopes don’t meet code for accessible routes in commercial settings. Our team calculates the correct ramp length for your specific entrance height before any design work begins.

Commercial Access returns quotes within hours of receiving your site details. Installation typically takes one to three days after design approval. We keep a large inventory in local warehouses across North America, so there’s no waiting on materials once the project is approved.

Yes. Our modular aluminum ramp systems include adjustable leg components that accommodate ground slope and uneven terrain without requiring a poured concrete base. This makes installation faster and more flexible across a wide range of site conditions.

We install commercial ramps across a wide range of facilities, including office buildings, retail stores, schools, universities, medical offices, government buildings, warehouses, hotels, restaurants, houses of worship, and modular or portable buildings. If your facility has a public or employee-facing entrance, we can design a compliant solution for it.
