ADA compliant

Code Compliant

Our commercial wheelchair ramp complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and International Building Code (IBC), and can meet local building codes and accommodate any mobility device.

Slip resistant

Slip-Resistant Decking

Our aluminum ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp features aggressive anti-slip serrated ridges that channel away water, creating a non-slip surface for any weather conditions.

Fit perfect and was easily assembled.

The platform and stairs are now up and installed and are fantastic. It fit perfect and was easily assembled just as you said it would. Thank you for a wonderful product.

Thank you for the quality work.

Thank you for the quality work. The stairs definitely enhance the look at Lakeside [Garden Apartments]. We appreciate your service to us, and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Tanya P.

I am very impressed.

It went together well, I am very impressed that your fit and finish was as tight as it is. Thanks again to everyone involved in the project.

So easy to work with!

Upside was so easy to work with! From estimating, to product selection, and all the way to delivery, they were very responsive and easy to work with. When we need another set of stairs, we will be buying them from Upside Innovations.

Matt S.

Upside Innovations was a pleasure to work with from design to delivery.

Nick Bishop was responsive and quick to get a quote started, and Tish Carroll did an excellent job shepherding the job through the engineering design, fabrication, and shipping stages, expediting the process when the deadlines got tighter on my end. The product arrived early and was a pleasure to install – all of the hardware clearly marked and bagged, and the pallet strapped and wrapped securely. These stairs are being used for robotics research/testing and are working flawlessly. I would recommend Upside to anyone looking for professional crossover stairs for their project or building.

Worked out great.

Everything worked out great. Thanks to your team for taking care of the details.

Leo D.

The stairs worked out great.

The stairs worked out great, and they love them!

Paul R.

The steps are well built.

The steps are well built and sturdy enough to handle our needs safely but yet light enough for two men to move without the use of equipment.

Love the quality.

What a great product to work with. Love the quality and ease of assembly!

Denny R.

Couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.

The quality was fantastic, and they showed up quickly. From the time they were pulled off the delivery truck, the stairs were assembled, stood up, and lag bolted into the floor in under 1 hour. We really couldn’t be happier with the whole experience we have had with Upside Innovations. Plus, the stairs are much sturdier than I had even hoped for. Below is a picture of the steps installed on the side of our gun range. Thanks again for the great job.

How much does a modular wheelchair ramp cost?

The cost of your aluminum wheelchair ramp will vary, though it averages out to be less than wood ramps. Aluminum ramp manufacturers charge a wide range based on metal grades, varying sizes, and load requirements. Installation costs for an aluminum ramp are typically less than half the cost of a wood ramp installation.

What type of wheelchair ramp material is best?

We proudly offer our APEX wheelchair ramp systems in 100% industrial-grade aluminum, known for its lightweight yet high tensile strength in commercial applications. Unlike stainless steel or wooden ramps, our aluminum ramps will never rust, rot, or warp. This low-maintenance material is heavy-duty and engineered to support various mobility devices.
