Community Ramp

Everyone deserves access to their community.

Too often, community events, local performances, awards ceremonies, and graduation stages are built without physical accessibility in mind because renting commercial ramps is cost-prohibitive. This unintended barrier excludes neighbors with disabilities and puts local organizers at risk of ADA violations.

To solve this, we have launched the Community Ramp Fund. We have acquired a durable, commercial-grade portable stage ramp that is available to local businesses, organizations, and community members through an affordable, tiered equipment rental program.

The community ramp was made possible by the generous support of

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is the ramp ADA compliant?
Yes. The ramp system is commercial-grade and modular, allowing it to be configured to meet standard ADA slope requirements (1:12 rise ratio) safely. When opting for "Dry Hire," you will be provided with a manufacturer safety packet to ensure proper configuration.

How far in advance do I need to book?
We recommend booking at least 30 days in advance, particularly during high-demand periods like spring graduation season and summer festival months.

Where do I pick up and drop off the equipment?
All equipment handoffs take place at our main office: 118 W State St, Hastings, MI 49058.

How much does the ramp weigh?
The ramp weighs ~9lbs per foot, disassembles into sections, and fits in the bed of a truck or back of an SUV.  If required, a standard 4x4 Roll-A-Ramp aluminum platform kit weighs 87 lbs.
