In today’s society, there is a growing awareness of the needs of people with disabilities, including wheelchair users. One of the key areas of focus is urban infrastructure, including public transport. In recent years, many innovations have been introduced to provide easier access to public transport for people with disabilities. One of the most important solutions are wheelchair ramps for trams.
New opportunities for wheelchair users
Wheelchair users have had considerable difficulties using trams. Lack of proper facilities made it difficult for them to get into the vehicle. This situation often isolated people with disabilities, limiting their ability to move around the city on their own. However, with the introduction of new, electrically extendable ramps, a lot has changed.
Innovative access ramps
These innovative access ramps are designed to allow easy and safe entry to the tram for wheelchair users. They operate based on the principle of automatic unfolding and folding, which means that they do not require intervention of the driver or other passengers. Thanks to this, disabled people can independently use tram transport, regardless of their disabilities.
Ease of use
Electrically extendable access ramps have many advantages. First, they are easy to use. A wheelchair user can use the ramp on their own without having to ask for help. This means greater independence and self-reliance for people with disabilities.
Full safety
Secondly, the ramps are safe and stable. They have been designed to provide full support for wheelchairs, minimizing the risk of a fall or other type of accident. They extend smoothly and stably, enabling smooth entry and exit from the tram.
Not only for wheelchair users
Thirdly, the introduction of electrically extendable access ramps also has benefits for the elderly or families with small children. Elderly people can use the ramp to safely enter and exit the tram, without having to climb high stairs. Families with small children can also easily transport a baby stroller.
The ramps are an important step towards a more inclusive society. They provide people with disabilities with greater independence and self-reliance, allowing them to freely use public transport.
It is worth continuing to work on creating an even more accessible infrastructure to ensure equal opportunities for all and full inclusion in society.
