Ideal for tradespeople, landscapers, and utility crews seeking practical access without permanent installation.

HERMEQ’s Lightweight Building Ramp is designed for high-mobility work environments where safety, speed, and portability are essential. This metal ramp provides fast and secure access across kerbs, steps, or low thresholds, making it ideal for construction workers, landscapers, and field service teams operating in unpredictable outdoor conditions.
Its compact profile and 13kg weight allow for easy manual handling, while the grooved aluminium surface ensures traction even during rain or mud. The access ramp supports up to 300kg, making it suitable for foot traffic and light equipment like trolleys, wheelbarrows, or portable tool carts. Because of its size, it can be deployed in seconds without the need for fixings or permanent alterations.
In practice, this ramp is widely used on construction sites where raised platforms or step-ups are unavoidable. Landscapers rely on it to bridge paving levels, while utilities contractors use it to allow safe movement of gear across kerbs or over excavation edges. Event contractors and temporary site managers also benefit from its stability and quick-fit convenience.
Built from corrosion-resistant aluminium, it performs well in damp and abrasive environments. It’s easy to clean and requires no servicing, making it a smart long-term investment for toolkits and van storage. The ramp's edges can be chamfered or modified to order, ensuring a good fit to your usual ground conditions or load path requirements.
Its usefulness isn’t limited to commercial contractors. Local authorities and public works departments often deploy these metal ramps during pavement or footpath repairs. The speed at which they can be positioned and removed minimises downtime and disruption to pedestrians or operational flow. Where temporary access is needed quickly, they excel.
They are also well suited for logistics teams and warehouse maintenance staff who need to traverse low thresholds within internal or external loading zones. For any team needing fast deployment without compromising on safety or compliance, HERMEQ’s lightweight access ramp is a smart solution that adapts to your worksite.

HERMEQ’s Lightweight Building Ramp delivers site-ready access in a compact and transportable form. Built from aluminium and weighing just 13kg, it’s ideal for applications where kerb heights or single steps present obstacles to foot traffic or mobile equipment. With a working capacity of up to 300kg, this metal ramp supports tool trolleys, carts, or small wheeled loads alongside pedestrian use.
The access ramp is supplied as standard in 890mm length by 800mm width and features anti-slip treads milled directly into the aluminium surface. These grooves provide grip even in wet or dusty outdoor conditions—perfect for construction, groundwork, and public utility sites. For operational teams working across temporary setups, the ramp is compact enough to store in vehicles or on equipment trolleys for repeat use.
Options are available to adapt the ramp’s size or edge profile to better suit recurring deployment needs. Customised builds ensure a closer fit with specific vehicles, surfaces, or level gaps. Edging lips can be adjusted to suit angled or flat entry points, making the ramp highly versatile across varied terrain.
