DESCRIPTION AND TERMINOLOGY
6.1
GENERAL
The DH-AI ramps are designed as a multi-purpose solution. They can be used for wheelchair access to assist wheelchair
occupants or persons with an impaired mobility embark and disembark the vehicle. And they can be used as a commercial
ramp, used to load and unload cargo.
Ramps for wheelchair access are usually finished with a mesh aluminum platform surface [option OAP821.0]. A perforated
aluminum plate with non-slip buds is available as an option OAP822.1.
As the ramps come in different versions, it is important to check the capacity of your specific ramp.
DHOLLANDIA lifts and ramps are developed and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology, high quality materials and
components, and highly skilled workmanship. They comply with the European CE / UKCA safety regulations mentioned in the
Declaration of Conformity issued with each lift and ramp (unless otherwise agreed for products exported outside the CE / UKCA
region).
