In the vast and competitive world of mobility and accessibility, finding the right solution can often feel overwhelming. If you’ve searched for wheelchair access or disabled ramps online, you have undoubtedly come across many providers. You may have even heard the generic, familiar phrase, “the ramp people or the ramp company,” used to describe those who supply these essential tools for independence.
Here is a necessary clarification: While our products might be sold by others who occasionally fall under this colloquial umbrella term, we want to set the record straight. We are not simply a ramp company—we are Enable Access, and we are the world’s leading innovator and manufacturer of disabled access ramps and mobility solutions.
This distinction is more than just semantics; it represents over 27 years of British-made engineering, patented innovation, and an unwavering mission to transform lives by breaking down barriers.
The terms “ramp company or the ramp people” is often a catch-all phrase, a way for customers to easily describe any company that provides ramps. It’s understandable. However, when you choose to buy a ramp, you’re not just buying a piece of metal or composite; you are investing in independence, safety, and a quality of life. That investment should be traced back to its origin.
Enable Access is not a retailer; we are the dedicated manufacturer behind some of the most trusted and premium access solutions on the market. We are the distinct, UK-based, family-run business that has pioneered the design and production of world-class mobility products, not just the ramp people. This is why our products—like the renowned Aerolight ramps—are sold globally and have set the standard for the entire industry.
When a company is known for simply selling products, they may be described as a ramp company. When a company is known for designing, building, and innovating the very products that define the market, they are known as Enable Access. Our registered trademarks. Enable Access and formally RampCentre, underscore our position as a hub of manufacturing excellence. We don’t just supply; we create the solutions that others sell.
Our claim to be the world’s leading manufacturer is not an exaggeration; it is a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation. Our ramps are not merely assembled; they are meticulously engineered in Britain with a singular focus on safety, reliability, and durability.
Consider the complexity of access. It’s not just a flat surface—it’s about load capacity, portability, gradient ratios, and the material science required to make a ramp strong yet exceptionally lightweight. Our flagship product lines showcase this manufacturing prowess:
The Aerolight Range: The premium standard in portable ramps. Their unique design allows for incredible strength and a very high weight capacity while remaining so lightweight that they are easy to deploy, fold, and transport. This balance of power and portability is a direct result of our specialised manufacturing processes.
Modular Systems: For more permanent or complex access requirements, our Welcome Modular Ramp System provides an adaptable, relocatable, and robust solution. This highly customisable approach moves far beyond the simple ramps provided by others that might be called “a ramp company.” We build systems to fit the environment, not the other way around.
The Ultralight Channel Ramps: Combining folding and telescopic features, these ramps demonstrate the ingenuity of our design team, offering maximum versatility and compact storage for vehicle access and more.
Furthermore, our commitment extends beyond ramps to essential safety equipment, such as our ExitMaster evacuation chairs, ensuring we provide comprehensive solutions for emergency mobility and egress—a critical necessity in any multi-story commercial or domestic setting.
For over a quarter of a century, our family business has operated with a “people-first approach.” We believe that independence and equality are not privileges but fundamental rights. This conviction is the driving force behind every design decision we make. We are dedicated to developing smart, safe solutions that truly break down barriers.
Where other companies, known as ramp companies focus on fulfilling orders, we focus on engineering trust. We work closely with our clients and partners to create tailored access solutions, guided by a core commitment to honesty, transparency, and exceptional service. We ensure that every product, from a small Doorline-Multi Threshold Ramp to a complex Welcome system, adheres to the highest standards of quality.
Ultimately, the choice is clear. You can partner with a general supplier—one of the many entities that answer to the name a ramp company—or you can choose the manufacturer, the pioneer, the world leader in disabled access solutions: Enable Access.
Our legacy is built on the belief that a well-designed ramp is an enabler of a fuller, more independent life. Every ramp we create, every threshold we overcome, and every barrier we dismantle brings us closer to a more accessible world—one doorstep at a time. Choose the original. Choose the quality. Choose Enable Access.
Enable Access. Live Beyond Limits
