Extra-Long Switchback Ramp Installation at Office Building

Quadruple switchback APEX ramp system installed on a state government facility in Columbus, OH

The Upside Innovations APEX ramp system was selected to be used to gain access to a 114" floor elevation at an Ohio state government facility in Columbus, OH. The all aluminum ramp system was ultimately used as a replacement for a concrete ramp that had deteriorated over time.

The ADA / IBC compliant ramp system was installed on concrete footers that were poured based on Upside Innovations layout drawings, and the 114' ramp system was comprised of standard ramp parts only. By using the 8' and 10' ramp sections of the APEX ramp system, the customer was able to reduce the total number of footers needed compared to other systems on the market.

Wheelchair Ramps

APEX ADA-compliant wheelchair and access ramps feature modular components that bolt together. The solution eliminates custom fabrication, code compliance issues, and time-consuming engineering while reducing costs, installation time, and complexity. Weather-resistant aluminum can be reconfigured to adapt to changing applications or remobilizations and ensure the industry’s longest service life.

The APEX System is a line of integrated access products that can be configured to meet the most challenging applications.
