Kerb Covers & Ramps

Kerb Covers and Ramps

Kerb covers and ramps are important parts of city infrastructure. They create safe and accessible paths for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. These structures play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and mobility of people in urban areas.

Kerb Covers

Kerb covers help connect the pavement and the road. They allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross safely between roads and sidewalks.

Kerb damage is a significant issue for housing developers. Contractors often install the pavements and kerbs early in the project. This makes them vulnerable to accidents and damage.

KerbGuards are reusable and recyclable protectors. They fit over the kerb and absorb impact forces from collisions. This helps prevent cracks and breaks.

Constructed from reused PVC and offered in either black or yellow.

Offered in a 400mm wide version for navigating curves and a 900mm version for straight paths. KerbGuard Spacers are also available. They provide support during installation when the pavement has been top coated.

Key Features of Kerb Covers

• Durability: Constructed from strong materials to withstand heavy traffic and weathering.
• Safety: Provide a safe and accessible crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists.
• Accessibility: Designed to comply with accessibility standards, ensuring easy access for people with disabilities.
• Customisation: Available in various sizes and styles to match different road and pavement designs.
• Anti-Slip Surface: Some kerb covers have anti-slip surfaces to improve safety in wet or icy conditions.

Ramps

Ramps are essential for providing access to sidewalks, buildings, and other public spaces for people with disabilities. They have gentle slopes that help people in wheelchairs or with mobility issues move around easily.

Our kerb ramp covers are made for use on a kerb. They help wheelchair and pushchair users access lower kerbs easily. The kerb ramps can hold a lot of weight without requiring bolts for support. This makes them great for mobility scooters.

These Kerb ramps, offered in a striking yellow colour, minimise the danger of slips or falls.

Key Features of Ramps

• Accessibility: Designed to comply with accessibility standards, ensuring easy access for people with disabilities.
• Durability: Constructed from strong materials to withstand heavy use and weathering.
• Anti-Slip Surface: Some ramps have anti-slip surfaces to improve safety.
• Customisation: Available in various sizes and styles to suit different needs and environments.

Applications of Kerb Covers and Ramps

Kerb covers and ramps are essential components of urban infrastructure and have a wide range of applications, including:

• Sidewalks: Used to create safe and accessible crossings for pedestrians.
• Cycle Paths: Used to provide safe and accessible access to cycle paths.
• Public Spaces: Used to create accessible entrances to buildings, parks, and other public spaces.
• Parking Lots: Used to provide access to parking spaces for people with disabilities.

Choosing the Right Kerb Covers and Ramps

When selecting kerb covers and ramps, it is important to consider several factors, including:

• Compliance with Standards: Ensure that the kerb covers and ramps comply with relevant accessibility standards and regulations.
• Durability: Choose materials that are durable and can withstand heavy traffic and weathering.
• Safety: Consider features such as anti-slip surfaces and reflective markings to improve safety.
• Aesthetics: Select kerb covers and ramps that complement the overall design of the area.
