Modular ramp assembly
The modular ramp assembly 10 has at least one main ramp body 12 and at least one hingeable side ramp 16 connectable to the main ramp body, the assembly including a toolless engagement means comprising a engageable locking head 60a suitable for preventing pulling apart of adjacent main ramp bodies, and at least one hinge pin or pin receiver for hingeably connecting the at least one side ramp. The side ramp may include the hinge pin which engages with a pin receiving hole on the or each main body. There may be multiple main ramp bodies connected by the engaging means in a sliding interference fit, the locking head interlocking in slot 60b. Also claimed is an assembly having at least two main bodies, and a method of providing a ramp using the assembly. The ramp bodies may be aluminium panels with gripping means on the upper surface and strengthening ribs on their underside, and may have height adjustable means (preferable threaded foot - see Fig 24). For use by wheelchairs, wheel barrows etc.
