Modular Ramp Systems

Back to Ramps Overview

Safe, Versatile Access for Homes & Businesses

At Fortuna, we can supply and install high-quality modular ramp systems designed to
provide safe, reliable and fully compliant wheelchair access for homes, public buildings and commercial properties. Modular ramps offer a great combination of strength, flexibility and long-term cost-effectiveness, especially where ground levels, space restrictions or changing needs make a traditional ramp impractical.

Whether you want a ramp for easier and safer access, or you need step-free entry to your property for a wheelchair, mobility scooter or any other mobility equipment, our modular ramps provide a highly adaptable solution.

A modular ramp system is an engineered, pre-fabricated access solution built from interchangeable components such as:

• Ramp sections

• Platforms and landings

• Handrails (single or double)

• Upstands / edge protection

• Optional step units

• Gates or resting platforms

These components fit together to create a strong, stable and fully compliant ramp. Because the system is modular, it can be extended, shortened, repositioned or completely reconfigured at any time, without the need for demolition or major building works.

Where Modular Ramps excel

Places where Modular Ramps are useful:  

a) Domestic Properties  - for access to:
      • Front or back doors
      • Patio doors and conservatories
      • Garden paths
      • Raised door thresholds

b) Commercial & Public Buildings  
      • Schools
      • GP practices & NHS sites
      • Shops & offices
      • Community buildings
      • Care homes

c) Temporary Access
      • Events & exhibitions
      • Construction sites
      • Temporary relocations.

Situations when Modular Ramps are ideal:

• Council or DFG-funded installations

• Rented accommodation

• Events and temporary access

• Long-term domestic or commercial use

Why Choose a Modular Ramp Instead of a Traditional Permanent Ramp?  

Key Features of our Ramps

1. Fast Installation with no major groundworks  
          A concrete or timber ramp may take days and often requires excavation.
          Modular systems can often be installed in a single day, with minimal disruption

2. Full compliance with building regulations - our ramps are designed for safety and meet standards for:
       •  Recommended gradient ratios
       •  Required landing sizes
       •  Handrail height-standards
           The high-visibility, easy-grip handrails provide extra security for users
       •  Edge protection for safety
       •  Safe Working Load (SWL) (Weight) Capacities
          Our ramps suitable for both heavy wheelchairs and powered mobility scooters
       •  Accessible widths for wheelchairs and mobility scooters

3. Highly Customisable for any Property  - modular systems can work around:

       •  Steep or narrow path or driveways
       •  Garden obstacles
       •  Unusual angles
       •  Multi-door entrances
       •  Custom platforms  can be added for longer ramp runs or to navigate tight spaces
       •  A step unit can be incorporated to allow both walking and wheelchair
           users to access the same entrance
       •  Ramps can also be relocated or modified if the user’s needs change

4. Durable, Weather-Resistant Construction  

Typically manufactured from galvanised steel or aluminium, modular ramps are:
       •  Rust-resistant
       •  Anti-slip surface - for safety in wet weather
       •  Low maintenance
       •  Suitable for long-term outdoor use

5. A Cost-Effective, Environmental Long-Term Solution
 
         Because they can be reconfigured and reused, modular ramps are often
         more cost-effective than a permanent concrete structure.

The Installation Process  

At Fortuna , we provide peace of mind, with a complete service from assessment to installation:

1. Free Site Survey  - our experienced team will measure:
         •  Rise height
         •  Available space
         •  Door thresholds
         •  Ground conditions
         •  Turning circles
         •  Any obstacles (pipes, steps, walls, etc.)
We will also discuss user needs to ensure the most suitable configuration.

2. Bespoke Ramp Design - we produce a detailed, compliant layout that includes:
         •  Correct gradient (typically 1:12 or better)
         •  Handrail placement
         •  Platform locations
         •  Overall footprint
         •  Door clearance
         •  Safety features
This design ensures the ramp is safe, usable and future-proof.

3. Professional Installation
Our trained team assembles your ramp quickly and cleanly.
Most domestic installations take less than a day, depending on complexity.

4. Adjustments, Maintenance and Reconfiguration  
Because the system is modular, we can return at any time to:
         •  Extend or shorten the ramp
         •  Add additional platforms
         •  Relocate it to another property
         •  Remove it when no longer needed
This makes modular ramps ideal for changing mobility needs.
