Where SafePath Products®Ramps Are Installed in Sport Courts & Fields ?

1. Gymnasium Entrances & Exits

All athletic organizations have very busy gyms that get constant movement by athletes, students, staff, and visitors alike. Providing a barrier-free access solution at the entrances/exit of gyms is critical to preserving the health and safety of people using adaptive mobility aids by maintaining ADA compliance. SafePath Products® ramping systems are engineered to provide a smooth, safe, and stable transition for wheelchair users, walkers, and strollers and do not impede on the performance and functionality of gymnasiums’ sports flooring. Our ramps also seamlessly integrate with your current gym layout and deliver a consistent level of traction and durability through the rigors of high-traffic events. In addition to providing a means for creating an inclusive, welcoming space, SafePath Products® ramps are designed to support the performance characteristics that indoor athletes require while practicing, playing tournaments, or participating in community activities.

2. Outdoor Sports Fields & Stadium Access

Outdoor Sports fields and stadiums are often set up to have unevern ground, elevated platforms, and tiered s seating that obstructs access to wheelchair users, athletes recovering from an injury, and individuals who cannot ambulate independently. Our weatherproof ramps are designed from the ground up to provide stable and strong traction, as well as to reliably endure outdoor environments over an extended period of time. A weatherproof ramp provides a smooth pathway to access bleachers, dugouts, benches, concisions, and the edge of any field for all users of the the facility to move freely and easily. All of our ramps are designed and constructed for constant use, which means they will work throughout the many activities including practices, games, tournaments, and various types of community events. These ramps are designed to be modular in nature, making it easy to reconfigure the ramps for seasonal changes of layout or temporary installations.

3. Locker Rooms & Training Facilities

There are often very small height differences between floor levels in locker rooms and training facilities. These small transitions can be dangerous because they create large trip hazards, especially when walking in a wet area, which frequently causes slips, or for people using mobility devices that need a stable surface to rest on while their feet are being supported by the ramp. SafePath Products® has developed a number of low-profile, slip-resistant ramps to eliminate these types of transition-related hazards to provide a safer method for transitioning from one flooring type to another for users of all mobility devices, including wheelchairs, walkers, athletic carts, etc. The ramps are made of a highly durable, moisture-resistant material so that they can hold up to regular cleaning and high volume foot traffic day in and day out. Our ramps provide a safe transition between different flooring types for athletes, trainers, and students, making it easier for users to navigate through the facility, reducing their chances of falling or encountering barriers when transitioning from one area of a facility to another.

4. Equipment & Maintenance Areas

Equipment storage spaces, maintenance shops, and utility doorways will typically contain elevated thresholds, bumpy and uneven flooring surfaces, and narrow transition spaces that create obstacles that prevent safe passage of heavy sports equipment (carts or cleaning products) through these areas. Though these spaces are used daily for the operation of most athletic facilities, they receive the least attention when it comes to accessibility compliance. SafePath Products® Ramps provide stable, slip resistant surface transitions so that equipment can be moved easily without difficulty, while also ensuring ADA compliance for athletes and staff who require mobility assistance. They are constructed to carry high amounts of weight regularly, including wheeled equipment, and are resilient against moisture or debris buildup, making it easy for athletic facilities to keep their processes operating smoothly and provide an environment that allows full accessibility with safety features.

5. Access to School Gym & Recreation Center

Various levels of elevation exist in School Recreation and Community Recreation facilities. These elevation changes are present at entrance doors, hallways, stages, workout areas, and equipment rooms and may create access barriers for Students, Athletes, and Visitors using Wheelchairs, Walkers, or Mobility Aid devices. When establishing SafePath Products® Ramps for renovation or ADA Compliance improvements, the quality of construction and materials utilized in creating the ramp systems provides a seamless transition at each location, creating a safe, smooth, and professional surface. The use of Slip-resistant, High-Strength ramps provides an integrated design with Gym Floors and Multi-Purpose Surfaces, allowing for a cohesive appearance while supporting continued, heavy daily use. Examples of use for SafePath Products® Ramps include Physical Education Classes, Community Programs, and After School Activities.
