a. Careful planning should mean the ramps are in the right place. If you need to move them or your site layout changes they can be easily unbolted and re-located, if you have not used security collars. Leave the nylon plugs in the road surface to seal the drilled holes and ask us for some more plugs. Back to top

a. Definitely not. We are working to get speed down to a safe 5 to 10mph not the 20mph the MOT ramps and speed cushions are designed for. All our products are designed with safety in mind and the maximum height of our ramps is only 75mm. Highway ramps are much wider, jelly mould shape and at least 100mm high.

Yes. These are distinct from the crossovers used for emergency and service vehicles only. Many non-Interstates have such crossovers to complete the movement from a side road where a median break is not present and a corresponding ramp would be cost-ineffective due to lack of room or light traffic usage, such as on divided, mostly-controlled-access parkways, or at the location of Michigan Lefts (see Question 3.

Due to the scope of this project, the number of volunteers needed, and the amount of building approvals necessary, Hope House does not build ramps. Operation Fix-It does, however, repair stairs and handrails.

Hooks and ramps are a problem of the molar arcades, and develop when there is a malocculsion - a failure to meet properly - of a tooth and its opposing tooth on the opposite arcade. If, as a result of the malocclusion, a tooth only partially receives wear, the unworn part will continue to lengthen through the process of eruption. The unworn aspect of the tooth will develop a hook or ramp.

a [ mini ] halfpipe should be around 16 feet wide and usually a great height is 4.5 feet tall with transitions that you are okay with for grinding, and 5 foot deep decks. A BMX ramp is the most expensive but definitely the best way to build a ramp you can grow with. [ Thanks to Mike Sell - The Burly bikes crew, USA ]

The work could often only be carried out along a very narrow corridor that was only accessible through the closure of ramps. Because ramp closures during the day would have a significant impact on traffic flows, this was best done at night. The construction team always aimed to find the best possible solutions and was totally committed to completing the job as safely and quickly as possible.

a. The HR3, HR5 and CR10 are the correct hazard warning colours, black and yellow, to get the driver’s attention to slow down to a safe speed. The highway approved version is all black but has no speed restriction. Back to top

Depending on how wide your driveway is, you will typically need between 2 and 5 ramps. Two ramps for a single car driveway, and as many as 5 for double or small triple driveway.

Since the curb ramp is a relatively new product, it does not have wide spread distribution as of yet. You may contact us for information on the dealer nearest you. It is also an excellent business opportunity for a student, or anyone looking to make some extra cash in their spare time. Call us for information on becoming a distributor of the Curb Ramp.

a. You may not. Signage advising drivers of the correct speed safe limit for the site is the first resort. The H&SE recommends using speed ramps or changing the road layout where drivers are not obeying the site’s speed limits. The reason to slow traffic down, if off the highway, is space is at a premium; often pedestrians do not have clearly defined areas to walk safely. Ramps helping maintain slower speeds will reduce the risk of accidents on your site.

a. Any European registered vehicle can drive over safely. The greater the weight, the more wheels and axels the vehicle will have. Even the largest trucks slow down as their cabs drive over the ramps. At the other end of the scale Smart cars, featured in our literature have no problem driving over safely and at the correct speed.

a. If it is kerb to kerb, leave 100mm for gully cleaning at each end. If one or both ends are exposed, make the ramp long enough to ensure drivers drive over the ramp and not detour around the ends. Back to top

a. Traffic will slow down as they approach the ramps and speed away after they have passed over. Pedestrian crossings, entrance and exits to car parks and long straight runs are all likely contenders for speed ramps. Bolt down ramps are easy to site and re-site to help you fine-tune your site. Back to top

a. We use two methods - either our designated carriers or our own transport if we are installing the speed ramps. Back to top

a. Absolutely. Most people can easily fix the ramps themselves. The work involved is well within the capabilities of maintenance engineers. Fixing instructions can be faxed or emailed. Back to top

a. We have photos on our web site showing what the ramps look like after 5, 10 and 15 years. It depends on the volume of traffic but it takes a long time before the ramps wear our. Back to top

a. Probably not. Is it an un-adopted road and can you legally advise a 5 or 10mph speed limit sign? Do you want to annoy the neighbours or is the road being used by fast moving traffic? Talk to your local highway engineers for advice. Back to top a. Yes. We have a version with a 60mm x 30mm slot so provided the cable fits in that space our CR10 will protect them and slow down traffic at the same time. Cable protection is a big subject with lots of choices. Back to top

Can you give us the dimensions of each cut needed to build the top, base and ramp of the pyramid? We have the sheets of foam but need to know how to cut and assemble it. The length of the sides of the cut out triangles, with top still attached, is 30 inches. The base of the triangles are 3x3 feet. From the base to the top point of the still attached triangles is 24.5 inches.

Our ramps have been used to load wheelchairs and scooters into the back of just about every van and SUV . In all cases, the ramp will be put on the rear bumper or the rear door (down). It's important to make sure the back door is tall enough for the chair to get in. To protect the paint on the bumper, we recommend you cover the bumper with a piece of carpet or floormate before you put the ramp on it. A few full-size SUV's have huge cutouts on their rear bumpers.
