Aerolight Ramp Locating Peg Kit
The Aerolight Ramp Locating Peg Kit is a practical, reliable, and safety-focused accessory designed to provide extra stability when using Aerolight ramps. By securing the ramp firmly in place when positioned over steps, elevated surfaces, or vehicle entry points, it significantly reduces the risk of slippage or movement. This ensures not only user safety but also smoother day-to-day use for individuals with mobility challenges and for caregivers supporting them.
One of the most common concerns with portable ramps is their tendency to shift slightly during use, particularly when placed against thresholds, steps, or higher entry points. While Aerolight ramps are engineered for lightweight strength and ease of use, certain environments and frequent usage can increase the chance of movement. The Locating Peg Kit provides a simple yet highly effective solution by anchoring the ramp securely in place, giving users the confidence that it will remain stable and aligned every time it is used.
The kit itself is straightforward in design but powerful in function. It includes two robust locating studs, a precision drill bit, and all the necessary fixings for installation. These studs fit neatly into the underside of the ramp’s lip, allowing the ramp to slot securely onto an upper step or vehicle surface. Once fitted, the studs keep the ramp in position during use, eliminating the possibility of drift or accidental displacement. Despite its strength and effectiveness, the system remains discreet and does not compromise the portability or sleek design of the ramp.
Installing the Aerolight Ramp Locating Peg Kit is a quick and user-friendly process. With the supplied drill bit and fixings, the studs can be attached without the need for specialist tools or extensive effort. Once in place, the ramp can be positioned securely within seconds, saving time and ensuring safety. This makes the kit ideal for both personal users at home and professional settings such as care homes, hospitals, and public buildings where ramps are used frequently and need to be reliable at all times.
For caregivers and facilities managers, the Locating Peg Kit adds an extra layer of reassurance. When ramps are being used by multiple people or in busy environments, even a small shift in position could present a hazard. By stabilising the ramp at the upper level, the kit reduces risks, creating safer conditions for both wheelchair and scooter users. This is particularly important in healthcare environments where maintaining high safety standards is crucial for protecting vulnerable individuals.
Private users will also find great benefit in this accessory. At home, it can provide confidence when moving between indoor and outdoor spaces, or when loading into a vehicle. Knowing that the ramp will not move during use makes it easier to approach independently, encouraging greater autonomy and reducing the need for constant supervision. For those who value both safety and independence, the Locating Peg Kit is a valuable addition to their mobility setup.
Another key strength of the Aerolight Ramp Locating Peg Kit is its durability. Manufactured from high-quality materials, the studs and fixings are designed to withstand the rigours of daily use. Whether indoors or outdoors, they retain their strength and functionality over time, ensuring long-term reliability. Once fitted, they require little maintenance and continue to deliver dependable performance, making the kit a long-lasting investment in safety and security.
Despite its robustness, the design of the kit is simple and discreet. It integrates seamlessly with the ramp without interfering with folding, transport, or storage. This means that the portability and convenience of Aerolight ramps remain completely intact. Users can continue to benefit from the lightweight, easy-to-handle design of their ramps while enjoying the added stability provided by the locating system.
In summary, the Aerolight Ramp Locating Peg Kit is a small accessory that delivers a significant improvement in safety and peace of mind. It addresses one of the most common challenges of portable ramp usage by securing the ramp in place and eliminating unwanted movement. Suitable for new Aerolight ramps, it is easy to install, durable, and effective, making it an excellent choice for both residential users and professional care environments. With this kit, every ramp transition becomes smoother, safer, and more reliable.
