Why The Grate Guys
Steel Ramps in Waterloo, done right
Traction surface selected
Checker plate, serrated grating, expanded metal, or coated surfaces are chosen around weather, wheels, and footwear. A ramp surface has to grip under real use.
Edges keep wheels on
Curbs, kick plates, guardrails, and handrails are added where carts, wheelchairs, or staff need edge protection. Open edges are not acceptable on raised ramps.
Anchors or portability decided
Some ramps need fixed base plates; others need removable pins or portable sections. The connection style follows how often the ramp moves.
Made in Canada
