About Amramp Huntington
Amramp Huntington, a division of Pathfinder Services, Inc., allows for organizations, like those who make up the Northeast Indiana Disability Advocacy Coalition, families and businesses to rent or purchase an ADA compliant, low cost, modular ramp, featuring a patented non-slip ramp surface. The unique, perforated steel mesh ramp surface has an open pattern, allowing moisture to drain, reducing the possibility of a slippery ice surface or mold build-up. Amramp offers free home evaluations and meets with each client to custom design the ramp. Ramps are available in days, not weeks or months, and most installations take less than a day. For a free evaluation for your special event or for more information on Amramp please call 260-519-0101 or e-mail to [email protected].
