Modular aluminium ramp systems
Engineered modular aluminium ramp systems, manufactured to order in Australia and installed without footings, excavation or curing time. The system is freestanding and height-adjustable, so it suits leased tenancies, heritage buildings and any site where the structure may not be altered. Demountable and reusable when the need ends or the site changes.
Where a building cannot meet the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions, because nothing may be fixed to a heritage fabric or a tenancy must be handed back as found, a freestanding system is often part of the Performance Solution the surveyor assesses. How access standards work.
| Widths | 800 mm, 1000 mm and 1200 mm clear. Custom widths to 1500 mm |
| Lengths | 1.0 m to 9.8 m in 400 mm increments. Longer runs with intermediate landings |
| Landings | Square and rectangular, at the top, at changes of direction and at the intervals the standard requires |
| Handrails | One side or both, with extensions and returned ends |
| Kerb rails | Both sides, standard on every ramp |
| Surface | Slip-resistant extruded deck |
| Finish | Mill aluminium or powder coat to a nominated colour |
| Gradient | Set on site to suit the rise, within the limits of AS 1428.1 |
| Supply options | Purchase, or hire for temporary access |
Modular access ramps can be configured to meet applicable accessibility requirements, subject to site conditions, final design, installation and any required building approval, certification or project-specific engineering.
Pricing
| Ramp, 1000 mm wide | from $1,045 per lineal metre incl GST (from $950 ex GST) |
| Handrails | from $385 per lineal metre per side incl GST (from $350 ex GST) |
| Other widths, landings and switchback configurations | Designed and quoted on request |
| Delivery and installation | Quoted per site, once we know the rise, the ground conditions and the access |
Some customers qualify for GST-free supply as a medical aid, which reduces these figures. We check that with you before quoting.
Rates apply to the modular aluminium system and are current September 2026. Timber, composite and threshold ramps are quoted to the site.
Timber and composite ramps
Built to the site. Specified where the setting calls for it: timber verandahs and decks, sloping or irregular ground, and where a ramp is to read as part of the building rather than an addition. Hardwood or composite decking, timber or steel handrails, on stumps or bearers with no permanent alteration to the building where that is required. Designed and installed to AS 1428.1, subject to site conditions and certification.
Threshold ramps
Low-rise ramps for a single step or a raised door sill, inside or out. Rubber, aluminium and timber profiles for rises from a few millimetres to a full step, fixed or loose-laid. The quickest resolution for a doorway that fails inspection, and often the right one: where a threshold ramp solves it, that is what is recommended.
Installation
Scoped from drawings, a site inspection, or an access consultant's report. Most straight runs are installed in a day by qualified tradespeople. Installation on operating sites and live construction programs, around trading hours and program constraints. Site protection, and removal of packaging and offcuts, are included.
Documentation and handover
Product data, the installation detail with the as-installed gradient, and photographs, supplied for the building surveyor, access consultant or asset register. Certification and sign-off remain with the surveyor. Installation carries a 24 month workmanship guarantee.
