HandiRamp

What HandiRamp does

HandiRamp is a US-based manufacturer of physical accessibility and material handling products, founded in 1958 and operating as a division of HandiProducts Inc, headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The company produces aluminum wheelchair ramps (portable, threshold, modular, and sectional), yard/loading ramps for industrial use, galvanized steel and concrete deck ramp systems, van and cargo ramps, and a complementary portfolio of fall-prevention products marketed under the HandiTreads sub-brand, including non-slip stair treads and nosings. Its core technical differentiator is a patented non-slip raised button traction surface used across its aluminum ramp and stair tread lines.

The company sells primarily direct-to-consumer through its handiramp.com e-commerce site and dedicated phone sales lines staffed by product experts, shipping across North America including Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Revenue streams include one-time product sales (the largest stream), recurring rental programs for yard ramps and wheelchair lifts, custom design and manufacturing services, and professional installation. Customers span two primary segments — residential homeowners requiring home accessibility modifications and commercial/industrial buyers needing yard ramps, dock equipment, and ADA-compliant solutions — with secondary segments in vehicle accessibility and niche pet/equine use cases. Notable custom-ramp clients cited as case studies include the US Government, Christopher Reeve Foundation, the New England Patriots, the Chicago Cubs, and Pepsi, alongside a long tail of individual residential buyers. Multiple product lines are explicitly ADA, OSHA, and federal-spec compliant, qualifying HandiRamp for institutional and government procurement.
