PATHWAY® 3G Modular Access System
The PATHWAY® 3G Modular Access System consists of ramps, stairs, and platforms, all of which may be combined and configured in a variety of ways to provide a safe pathway to and from your home. The customizable design allows for numerous ways to improve accessibility to your home, regardless of your home’s age, layout, or available space. The strong aluminum structure will provide better accessibility to your home for years to come.
PATHWAY 3G Ramp
INFINITE CONFIGURATIONS
The PATHWAY 3G allows for infinite modular residential wheelchair ramp and platform configurations, creating safe and seamless access for both standard and unique entryways. Ramp lengths from 2'-8' and platform sizes up to 8'x5' enable you to overcome any access challenge at your home.
These modular wheelchair ramps, platforms, and stairs can be enhanced through optional features, such as angled platforms, landing pads, and safety gates.
- Including angled platforms in the design allows for easy maneuvering of tight corners and turns.
- With the landing pad, soft surfaces, including grass, are easier to navigate as you approach the ramp.
- Our manual gate provides additional safety at the top of the stairs or at the beginning of a ramp run.
Combined with our modular entry ramps, entering and exiting your home will be barrier-free.
SUPERIOR SURFACE OPTIONS
No need to add slip-resistant material to the PATHWAY 3G -- that's built into the design. Choose from two surface options - solid and expanded metal - to meet your needs.
- The solid option features an extruded tread surface with raised ribs to provide exceptional slip resistance.
- Expanded metal utilizes diamond-shaped openings to allow multi-directional traction and reduced surface accumulation.
Our Customer Service team can help you select the best fit if you're unsure which option to choose.
PREMIUM HANDRAIL STYLES
Three handrail options are available for the PATHWAY 3G Modular Access System. These component-based rail options are easy to assemble and customize. All styles are made of aluminum and feature a durable finish with a continuous top rail.
- The most popular handrail configuration, the two-line rail provides an additional gripping surface by adding a second rail below the continuous top rail. The option of a lower rail is great for those in wheelchairs who prefer pulling up a ramp instead of propelling.
- Vertical pickets offer an added level of safety, especially for children and small pets. Our pre-assembled aluminum inserts meet the 4-inch sphere rule for spacing.
- Horizontal pickets offer an aesthetic option while maintaining safety. These horizontal inserts run parallel to the topmost rail, combining safety with a pleasant appearance.
DURABLE AND SAFE
Modular wheelchair ramps for homes need to withstand frequent use as well as climate and weather events. The PATHWAY 3G is made of high-strength aluminum which will not deteriorate in the outdoor elements and features slip-resistant surfaces that maintain traction in any weather. Even the weight of a motorized wheelchair won't be a problem. The sides are finished and flush with no hazardous nuts or bolts protruding into the usable ramp area, to avoid catching on anything as you pass by. Each ramp is carefully crafted and inspected in our manufacturing facilities here in the United States to ensure every inch is safe and sturdy.
ALUMINUM ADVANTAGE
The PATHWAY 3G is virtually maintenance-free, it will not rust or rot and is constructed from an environmentally friendly material. Aluminum's sturdiness and aversion to decaying provide peace of mind that the ramp is secure. While wood becomes easily discolored over time, aluminum maintains a consistent appearance. Beyond an occasional rinse to remove mud or debris, the aluminum requires no sealing or other significant maintenance. Aluminum is both lightweight and durable, providing low-effort installation and a long lifespan.
HASSLE-FREE DESIGN
The ramp system will not impact your home's property value because it does not alter or add to the structure of the residence - no poured footers, no construction - just simple assembly. While considered a permanent ramp, the PATHWAY 3G can be easily disassembled if the need arises.
QUICK AND EFFICIENT INSTALLATION
The PATHWAY 3G installs quickly, which means minimal disruption for you and your family. Typically, a 24-foot system can be installed, including handrails, in less than an hour. Since our modular access systems are prefabricated and do not require concrete footers, the tool requirements for installation are minimal. Our dealer partners are also available to help with the installation process so that it's one less thing on your plate.
- Refer to your mobility equipment's owner guide for acceptable ramp usage, including proper slope/incline, chair direction, etc.; never exceed its recommendations.
- Weights and dimensions are approximate and subject to change.
- For additional specs, see “Documents” tab.
Although it's our intent to keep all documents current, some documents are subject to change and may take time to update. If you are unsure whether you have the most current revision or if your product is different, contact our technical support.
Do concrete footers need to be poured?
Our multi-positional base feet have a large footprint which eliminates the need for concrete pavers or poured footers. They are also offset and rotatable, allowing you to tuck them under a ramp or set them close to a wall.
Does my modular ramp system have to go straight out or can it turn?
You can configure the system to be a straight run or it can turn left or right by simply using a turn platform. The ramp system can also incorporate a switchback by using a turn back platform or it can extend at an angle by using a 45-degree angle platform. The system can be configured to meet your exact needs.
What sizes do the platforms and ramps come in?
We offer standard resting platforms in the following sizes: 4'x4', 4'x5', 5'x5', 5'x6', 6'x6' and 8'x5'. Ramps are 36” & 48” wide and come in lengths of 2’-8’. Custom sizes are available upon request.
What do I use for ice and snow removal on ramps, platforms, and steps?
We suggest using a Magnesium Chloride salt substitute. Check out a blog we wrote on this!
Why don't you sell platforms without handrails?
Safety is important to us and selling platforms with handrails is our standard.
What kind of tread is used on this ramp system?
Our platforms consist of a knurled, extruded tread for multi-directional traction, and our ramps feature a raised-rib, extruded tread for ultimate slip resistance.
Can I get the black applied surface on this ramp?
No, it is not available on our modular ramp system. This surface is available on two of our SUITCASE® portable folding ramps.
How long will installation take?
Depending on the configuration, installation time will vary; however, a system can typically be assembled with minimal tools the same day that it arrives.
Do the stairs have to connect to one of your platforms?
The stairs can not only connect to one of our platforms but they can also easily connect to an existing platform or deck because they have 4 independently adjustable legs.
