Product Description
The AlumiRamp Quick Ramp System is a pre-engineered modular wheelchair ramp kit that combines the cost savings of wood construction with the strength and durability of aluminum framing — providing everything needed to build a safe, ADA-compliant access ramp for wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers, while the purchaser supplies pressure-treated lumber for decking and railings. Available in 4′, 6′, 8′, and 10′ sections with a 10-year warranty on aluminum components. Ships within 2–5 business days to Canadian addresses.
Most modular ramp systems require you to choose between all-aluminum (durable, but higher cost) and all-wood (economical, but maintenance-intensive and prone to rot). The Quick Ramp System eliminates that trade-off. AlumiRamp provides all aluminum framing, stainless steel hardware, and support components — the structural elements that determine long-term durability and load safety. The purchaser sources local pressure-treated lumber for decking and railings, keeping material costs low and avoiding the corrosion and warping issues of untreated wood over time. The result is a full modular ramp system at a significantly lower total cost than all-aluminum alternatives.
AlumiRamp is a dedicated aluminum ramp manufacturer with a comprehensive product line for residential and commercial accessibility needs. The Quick Ramp System ships factory-stocked components within 2–5 business days, includes detailed ADA-compliant assembly instructions with handrail options and lumber cut lists, and requires no concrete footings for most residential installations. Available from Factory Direct Medical, Canada’s trusted source for accessibility and mobility equipment.
Key Features
Hybrid Aluminum-Wood Construction AlumiRamp supplies all aluminum framing, hardware, and support components. The purchaser provides pressure-treated lumber for decking and railings — delivering aluminum-grade structural durability at a lower total system cost than all-aluminum alternatives.
ADA-Compliant Assembly Instructions Included Detailed instructions cover ADA-compliant layout guidelines, handrail configuration options, and precise lumber cut lists — enabling safe, code-compliant installation without requiring a professional contractor or custom design from scratch.
Adjustable Height & Slope Support legs are fully adjustable and can be recessed for a clean finished appearance — accommodating varying site elevations and ground conditions without requiring special footings or custom fabrication.
No Footings Required The system installs directly on compacted ground — no concrete footings needed for most residential applications. Universal platform designs are compatible with existing decks and porches or new AlumiRamp aluminum top landing sections.
Multiple Section Lengths Ramp sections available in 4′, 6′, 8′, and 10′ standard lengths, with custom lengths also available — allowing the system to be configured to virtually any site rise using the 1:12 slope rule (1 foot of ramp per 1 inch of vertical rise).
10-Year Warranty on Aluminum Components AlumiRamp’s aluminum framing is guaranteed for 10 years against defects in materials and workmanship — a reflection of the heavy-duty anodized construction and stainless steel fastener specification used throughout the system.
Aluminum Framing, Your Lumber: The Economical Ramp Solution
The Quick Ramp System’s defining advantage is how it splits the cost of a modular ramp without splitting the quality. The components that determine structural safety — the aluminum frame, the support legs, the universal platforms, the stainless steel fasteners — are all provided by AlumiRamp and backed by a 10-year warranty. The components that are commodity items easily sourced locally — 2″ × 6″ or 2″ × 10″ pressure-treated deck boards, and 2″ × 4″ lumber for railings — are supplied by the purchaser. This approach reduces shipping weight and cost while giving the installer the flexibility to select lumber grades suited to their local climate and building codes.
Assembly uses common household tools and follows AlumiRamp’s included instructions, which specify lumber cut lists for each configuration, handrail layout options (single-rail and double-rail), and ADA-compliant dimensional guidelines. The 1:12 slope rule applies: a 6-inch rise requires at least 6 feet of ramp run; a 12-inch rise requires at least 12 feet. Ramp sections can be combined to achieve any required run length, and the system can be adapted to use an existing deck or porch as the top landing — further reducing cost if a suitable structure already exists. Confirm local building permit requirements before installation, as requirements vary by province and municipality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AlumiRamp Quick Ramp System include, and what do I need to provide?
The Quick Ramp System includes all aluminum framing, support legs, universal platform components, and stainless steel hardware needed to build the structural frame of the ramp. Detailed assembly instructions, ADA-compliant layout guidelines, handrail options, and lumber cut lists are also included. The purchaser provides pressure-treated lumber for the decking surface (2″ × 6″ or 2″ × 10″) and railing lumber (2″ × 4″ for two horizontal rails). Site preparation materials are not included. This split approach reduces total cost while keeping the structural aluminum components under a 10-year warranty.
How long does a wheelchair ramp need to be for my entrance?
The standard rule is the 1:12 slope ratio: for every 1 inch of vertical rise between ground level and the entrance threshold, you need at least 1 foot of ramp run. A 6-inch rise requires a minimum 6-foot ramp; a 12-inch rise requires at least 12 feet. The Quick Ramp System offers sections in 4′, 6′, 8′, and 10′ lengths that can be combined to reach any required total run. Always confirm local building code requirements before installation, as some provinces and municipalities have additional specifications beyond the basic 1:12 slope requirement.
Do I need a building permit to install a modular wheelchair ramp in Canada?
Permit requirements for residential wheelchair ramps vary by province and municipality in Canada. Many jurisdictions exempt temporary or semi-permanent ramps from full building permits, while others require a permit regardless of ramp type or size. The AlumiRamp Quick Ramp System complies with most accessibility codes, but purchasers are responsible for confirming local permit requirements with their municipal or provincial building department before installation. The included instructions and ADA-compliant design documentation can support permit applications where required.
Summary
The AlumiRamp Quick Ramp System is the economical modular wheelchair ramp kit Canadian homeowners and accessibility installers choose when they need aluminum-grade structural durability without the full cost of an all-aluminum system — featuring heavy-duty anodized aluminum framing, stainless steel hardware, adjustable no-footing support legs, ramp sections in 4′, 6′, 8′, and 10′ lengths, ADA-compliant assembly instructions with lumber cut lists, a 10-year aluminum warranty, and factory-stocked components shipping within 2–5 business days across Canada.
Important Notice: The AlumiRamp Quick Ramp System is a residential accessibility product. Purchasers are responsible for sourcing and installing pressure-treated lumber for decking and railings per the included specifications. Always verify that the completed ramp complies with local building codes and accessibility requirements — code requirements vary by province and municipality in Canada. Confirm permit requirements with your local building department before installation. Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the system. Ramps should be inspected regularly for wear, loose fasteners, and surface condition to ensure ongoing safety. Consult an occupational therapist for individualized ramp selection and site assessment if needed.
