Why EZ Access and RediSpan Ramps Are Top-Tier Accessibility Solutions

EZ Access, a leading brand under the Homecare Products Inc. umbrella, and RediSpan, a specialized modular ramp system often paired with EZ Access products, represent the pinnacle of ramp technology. With roots in accessibility innovation since the 1980s, EZ Access has refined its offerings, while RediSpan enhances custom configurations. Here’s why we at USA Medical Supply champion these ramps as the gold standard:

Unmatched Versatility for Every Space

Adaptability: EZ Access ramps cater to every need—temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent. Options include portable models (Suitcase, Trifold) for travel, threshold ramps for doorways, and modular systems for larger rises. RediSpan complements this with custom-configurable platforms, turns, and spans, tackling complex layouts like multi-level porches, split entries, or winding paths.
Modular Design: Both systems use interlocking aluminum sections, adjustable to rises from 2 inches to 60 inches (5 cm to 152 cm). RediSpan’s platform-and-span approach allows for 90-degree turns, switchbacks, or straight runs up to 40+ feet (12+ meters), surpassing competitors like Pride or Pathway ramps (typically 30 ft max).
Custom Fit: At USA Medical Supply, we cut and assemble on-site, ensuring a precise fit. EZ Access offers edge guards and handrails in black or silver, while RediSpan platforms can be tailored to ADA-compliant widths (36 in/91 cm minimum).

Durable, Weatherproof Construction

Materials: Crafted from high-strength, aircraft-grade aluminum, both ramps resist rust, corrosion, and warping—ideal for New England’s harsh winters or humid summers. EZ Access portable ramps feature a textured, slip-resistant surface rated for 850 lbs (385 kg), while RediSpan modular systems handle 1,000 lbs (454 kg) per section.
Longevity: Unlike wooden ramps that rot or steel ramps that rust, these aluminum solutions last decades with minimal upkeep. We’ve installed EZ Access ramps still in pristine condition after 15 years of outdoor use.

Seamless, Safe Accessibility

Smooth Transitions: EZ Access threshold ramps (1-6 in rise) have beveled edges for wheelchair or walker ease, while RediSpan’s adjustable legs ensure a flush fit to uneven ground. Both eliminate jarring bumps common in DIY or budget ramps.
Safety Features: Slip-resistant surfaces grip in wet or icy conditions. Optional handrails (34-38 in high) provide stability, and RediSpan’s platform edges include raised curbs to prevent roll-offs—exceeding ADA guidelines.

Portability and Installation Ease

EZ Access Portability: The Suitcase Singlefold (2-8 ft lengths) folds to half its size, weighing as little as 11 lbs (5 kg), while the Trifold Advantage (5-10 ft) collapses into a carry-on size—perfect for travel or temporary needs.
RediSpan Modularity: Pre-assembled sections bolt together in hours, not days. We’ve set up a 20-ft RediSpan system with a platform turn in under 4 hours—faster than competitors like Harmar’s modular ramps (6-8 hours).

Aesthetic and Practical Appeal

Low Profile: EZ Access modular ramps sit just 2-3 inches above ground at their base, blending into landscapes. RediSpan’s sleek platforms (e.g., 4 ft x 4 ft) look intentional, not intrusive, enhancing curb appeal over clunky wooden builds.
Space Efficiency: Foldable EZ Access ramps store in a closet; RediSpan’s disassembled parts stack neatly in a garage when not in use.

Why We’re Convinced They’re the Best

We’ve tested EZ Access and RediSpan against every major ramp brand—Pride, Pathway, Harmar—and they dominate. EZ Access’s 850-lb portable capacity outclasses Pride’s 600-lb limit, while RediSpan’s custom turn-and-platform flexibility beats Pathway’s rigid designs. Their lightweight aluminum construction (vs. steel-heavy alternatives) and quick assembly save time and labor. At USA Medical Supply, we’ve seen these ramps transform inaccessible homes into welcoming spaces—restoring freedom with unmatched reliability.

Installation and Maintenance Insights

Setup

EZ Access: Portable ramps deploy in seconds—no tools needed. Modular systems require leveling (adjustable legs) and bolting to a landing or concrete pad (anchors included).
RediSpan: Spans connect to platforms via bolts; platforms sit on adjustable legs (1-60 in range). We use a laser level for precision, ensuring ADA compliance (1:12 slope, 36 in width).
Time: Portable = instant; Modular EZ Access = 2-4 hours; RediSpan with turns = 4-6 hours.

Daily Use

Operation: Wheelchairs, scooters, or walkers glide effortlessly. EZ Access portable ramps fold/unfold with handles; RediSpan is a fixed walk-up solution.
Caution: Avoid overloading (check weight limits) or using in extreme ice without de-icing.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Hose off dirt or snow; wipe with a damp cloth. Aluminum resists rust—no painting needed.
Checks: Inspect bolts and handrails monthly (tighten if loose). Annual professional tune-up (offered by us) ensures longevity.

Troubleshooting

Wobble: Adjust legs or re-level. Uneven ground? We add shims.
Slippage: Clean surface or add extra grip tape (available from us).
