Why care homes use this

A modular ramp system can be installed, altered or extended without the lead time and disruption of a fully bespoke concrete or brick-built ramp, which matters for a care home needing to correct a non-compliant or missing step-free entrance without a lengthy building project. The bolt-together galvanised steel construction also means a ramp can be altered later (widened, re-routed, or its gradient adjusted) if the building use changes, rather than being a fixed permanent structure -- directly relevant to the "alter-existing-access-ramp" job as well as new installation.
