Disaster Relief
Quick Accessibility Solutions in the Face of Natural Disasters
When disaster strikes, there is no time to wait for a large crew to build wood stairs and handicap-accessible ramps from scratch for structures such as emergency buildings and manufactured housing units. Wood ramps and stairs require lumber and labor, which are already scarce.EZ-ACCESS aluminum stairs and ramp systems provide accessibility solutions when you need it – right now!

We are Fully Equipped to Provide Immediate Emergency Housing Access
Past disasters have taught us a lot when it comes to finding the right access solution during an unexpected event.
For instance, 90% of steps and ramps used for Manufactured Housing Units (MHU) were made of wood. Here’s why that’s a problem:
- A wooden assembly took half of a day to build, delaying MHU occupancy
- Poorly designed and rushed installs caused a potential dangerous conditions to occupants – rot, uneven surfaces, and poor footings
- 100% of this chemically treated wood had to be treated as Hazardous Waste
- Wooden steps and ramps required significant time to deconstruct upon MHU removal
EZ-ACCESS ramps and stairs are made of durable aluminum that can be set up by 1 person in just 2 hours.
