Telescopic Ramp Market Trends
- Adjustable and Modular Ramps: Adjustable and modular telescopic ramps are gaining popularity due to their versatility and flexibility. These ramps can be extended or retracted to varying lengths, allowing users to adapt the ramp to different height requirements. Additionally, modular ramp systems offer the ability to create customized configurations by connecting multiple ramp sections, enabling accessibility in complex or changing environments.
For instance, Based on the 2020 Report on Consumer Accessibility Preferences published by the UK Department for Transport, over 70% of survey participants indicated that they considered adjustable length and slope to be very or extremely significant factors when selecting a ramp system.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Safety is a paramount concern in the design and use of telescopic ramps. Manufacturers are incorporating advanced safety features to enhance user confidence and prevent accidents. Non-slip surfaces, raised edges, edge guards, and high-traction coatings are some safety features being integrated into telescopic ramps. Furthermore, manufacturers are adhering to safety standards and certifications to ensure compliance and meet customer expectations.
For instance, in 2021, the U.S. Access Board issued revised guidelines mandating the inclusion of detectable warnings, edge protection on ramp surfaces, as well as safety markings and instructional elements.
