Concrete Wheelchair Ramps
Albany Concrete Handicap Ramp Installation
Albany concrete handicap ramp installation changes the customer experience from the moment someone enters a building. According to the CDC, over 12% of U.S. adults live with a mobility disability. In Albany, that means thousands of our friends, customers, and employees face challenges every single day just getting in and out of local businesses. For them, a properly built concrete handicap ramp is not just a convenience. It is the difference between being able to shop, work, or visit comfortably, or turning around and going home.
That is why we have made ADA concrete services a cornerstone of what we do. Whether we are installing a new concrete wheelchair ramp for a small storefront on Lark Street, adding curb ramps to a busy parking lot in Colonie, or building a heavy-duty concrete loading dock ramp for a warehouse on Pearl Street, our focus is the same.
We design and pour ADA-compliant concrete ramps, curb ramps, and loading-dock approaches that meet strict federal standards and hold up to real-world use.

We handle the handrails, edge protection, and finishing details so your property is not just compliant. It is welcoming.

Concrete Loading Dock Ramps: Built for Weight, Traction, and Safety
ADA rules are for pedestrian access, but for loading docks handling forklifts and pallet jacks, the goal is safe grades and maneuvering room. Albany Concrete Contractors can identify and install concrete loading dock ramps that meet your unique needs.
Industry practice targets slopes of 10% or less; for heavy loads, 3–5% is often recommended to reduce risk
OSHA requires safe operation on grades, even though it does not set a universal numeric slope for docks
We design the slab, finish, and transitions to support safe powered-industrial-truck use
We review your equipment, turning radii, and trailer deck heights to set the right approach grade, transition curves, and non-slip finishes.
Our ADA Concrete Ramp Expertise
Site Assessment & Code Check – Measure elevations, door thresholds, drainage, and pedestrian paths; verify ADA requirements for your site.
Design & Layout – Calculate compliant slopes, landings, handrail placement, and curb ramp geometry; coordinate with door clearances.
Forming & Reinforcement – Proper base preparation, rebar or mesh reinforcement, and expansion joints to prevent cracking.
Finish & Traction – Broom or trowel finish matched to use, with control joints and drainage per ADA cross-slope limits.
Handrails & Guards – Installed to ADA standards for height, graspability, continuity, and returns.
Final Verification – We check slope, cross slope, landing size, and transitions before handoff.
