What Amramp does
Amramp, Inc. is a privately held American medical devices and accessibility solutions company headquartered in Randolph, Massachusetts. Founded in 1998 as an extension of Gordon Industries (itself operating since 1970), the company developed and patented a low-cost steel modular wheelchair ramp system featuring an open-mesh surface designed to allow wind to pass through during storms and prevent snow and ice accumulation; the design has been validated against hurricane-force winds. Its product portfolio now spans residential, commercial, and event/temporary ramps (steel modular, threshold, portable, and commercial), stair lifts, pool lifts, vertical platform lifts, overhead patient lifts, bathroom safety products (ShowerGlyde transfer benches, ShowerBuddy shower chairs, FAWSsit portable showers, grab bars), automatic door openers, and full home modification services, all engineered to meet ADA and International Building Code standards.
Amramp distributes through a 52-location franchise network across the United States and Canada, with each franchisee operating an exclusive territory of approximately 2 million population, registered with the SBA Franchise Program. Customers access the company through free in-home or on-site estimates from local franchise teams, with installations typically scheduled within 1-2 days of proposal acceptance. The company sells outright, rents for as little as one day, and offers a rent-to-buy conversion where rental payments apply toward the purchase price, serving residential homeowners aging in place, commercial and public buildings requiring ADA compliance, event organizers, veterans, and healthcare facilities.
Revenue mechanics combine franchise fees, manufactured product sales to franchisees, and direct national-accounts revenue from enterprise buyers. A wholly-owned nonprofit, AmrampCARES, provides free ramps to qualifying individuals near the poverty line and runs a ramp donation program. In December 2024, Amramp acquired Peak Stairlifts to extend its product line into the stairlift vertical.
