For Gordon the timing was just right. Since his idea was patented in April of 1998, American Ramp Systems has grown to 180 distributorships across the country. We are finding children and teens with physical disabilities want the opportunity to attend school with their peers, and later they want to enter the workforce. That's where American Ramp can make a difference. While slightly more costly than a wooden ramp, the expense is superceded by the product's many advantages.
Parts store easily in a garage, shed etc.
Ramps need to be installed sometimes on a day's notice. Also, there is also such a movement in the country towards self-sufficiency with our older population. Many are opting to stay in their own homes and adjust them to fit their needs as medical issues arise. Over the past two years word of mouth about American Ramp has spread not only among homeowners, contractors and city planners. Polling places, event organizers, colleges and universities are using the system.
