ADA-Compliant Cable Ramps Protect Pedestrians and Power Cables

HICKSVILLE, NY, April 03, 2013 (Press-News.org) On Site Energy announces ADA-compliant cable ramps to protect temporary power cables from pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Designed to help organizations stay in compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines, the 5-channel ramps are ideal for use in public, commercial, industrial, construction and utility applications, as well as in amusement parks, sporting events and entertainment venues.

Organizations that lay down temporary power cables can now easily protect them from damage while enabling safe crossing for vehicle and pedestrian traffic by using cable ramps from On Site Energy.

Cable ramps are essential for covering power cables on walkways to ensure that people do not accidentally trip and fall. They are also needed to allow people in vehicles, wheelchairs and baby stroller's safer access to facilities and special events.

The 5-channel cable ramps are in compliance with guidelines established by the Americans with Disabilities Act 9 (ADA). ADA cable ramps reduce the possibility of pedestrians tripping in places such as amusement parks, at sporting events and entertainment venues. Companies use cable ramps to prevent injuries, as well as the possibility of any legal exposure because of accidents.

Organizations that seek to protect employees, customers and other visitors often need ADA accessibility ramps for rent on a short-term basis at their facility or for special events. On Site Energy provides 5-channel ADA cable ramp rentals with reinforced hinged lids for fast and simple cable placement.

They are designed to work in all weather conditions and will protect cables and hoses as large as 1.325 inches in diameter. Built with maximum safety in mind, the ADA-certified cable ramps have a patented five-bar tread surface to achieve a high level of traction.

"They are wider than the common ramps people are used to seeing, but they offer a significantly lower angle of entry and exit than standard ramps," noted Patrick French, Vice President at On Site Energy. The cable ramps' gentler slope helps wheelchair users gain access to facilities ranging from hospitals and construction sites to sports arenas, entertainment venues and any other location where power cables would otherwise be exposed. What's more, On Site Energy's cable ramps are color coded according to ADA guidelines, all in the name of helping customers reduce their exposure.

When customers arrange for cable ramp rentals, it's likely that they also will need additional equipment. To that end, On Site Energy offers power cables for rent along with power generators. The company can ship power cable within hours of a customer's order from its locations in New York, New Jersey and Indiana. Customers can arrange for Type W power cable rental in three sizes: gauge #2, 2/0 and 4/0.

For many organizations, power cable ramp rentals make more sense than purchasing them outright when cable protection is only required for a limited time. On Site Energy focuses on providing total solutions for renting power, cooling and heating equipment. The company's field specialists are dedicated to helping industrial, commercial and public entities maintain safe access to their facilities and events while protecting people, vehicles and power cables.

On Site Energy is the Northeast leader of power and temperature control equipment. Established in 1984, the company's regionally networked infrastructure of rental power, cooling and heating equipment and experts helps customers in all industrial, commercial and event-related sectors reduce their exposure and meet their goals. The company has four branch locations to serve the Northeast and Midwest areas 24/7/365.
