FAQ – Solutions for Low Height Differences
What are solutions for low height differences used for?
Solutions for low height differences make it easy to navigate small changes in height, such as door thresholds, door tracks, or curbs. They ensure a smooth transition between two surfaces and reduce the risk of getting stuck or falling for people and wheeled equipment.
When should you use a low-level access ramp?
These devices are particularly useful for:
- Crossing a door threshold or a step
- Passing over a door track or a small curb
- Accessing a sidewalk or a raised area
- Facilitating the passage of carts, pallet jacks, or wheelchairs
How do you choose the right access solution?
The choice depends on several criteria:
- The height of the elevation difference to be crossed
- The type of equipment (wheelchair, cart, pallet jack, etc.)
- The environment of use (indoor, outdoor, construction site, logistics)
Are low-profile solutions suitable for people with reduced mobility (PRM)?
Yes, certain ramps and plates are perfectly suited for use by people with reduced mobility. They allow users to safely navigate everyday obstacles while facilitating access to buildings or vehicles.
Are curb ramps suitable for vehicles and machinery?
Yes, curb ramps are designed to support the passage of various wheeled equipment, such as hand trucks, carts, or small machinery. In particular, they facilitate access between the roadway and the sidewalk.
