The Melba Swintex Wheelchair Ramp, formerly known as the Kerb Buddy (hopefully a more successful rebrand than Twitter) has had a makeover. Now supplied by default, the Ramp is pre-fitted with four heavy-duty skirts that not only provide additional anti-slip support, but also allow for better anchorage upon deployment.

Manufactured with high-precision, high-quality, and from completely recycled material, the skirt indicates the start and end of the Ramp, increasing safety on site.

Two skirts on the underside of the skirt provide additional grip to the road and pavement surface, preventing any potential skidding out of place.

Each skirt sits securely flush with the outer surface of the Ramp so as not to pose a trip hazard, whilst at the same time providing additional grip to whichever materials come into contact.
