It is a requirement for all businesses to have adequate facilities in place to ensure that those individuals that use wheelchairs can freely access all of the rooms within a property. However, it is also important that those with disabilities have wheelchair ramps and other features within their home, to help them maintain an independent lifestyle. At K5, we supply a vast range of disabled aids to both commercial and domestic clients, including ramps, stairmates, handipark barriers and evacuation chairs.
We supply a variety of wheelchair ramps and with many years experience in the industry, we are able to offer advice as to the best solution for any home or business. Dependent upon where they need to be used, there are a number of ramp options available. As an example, shorter ramps are an ideal portable solution, whilst wedges are often suited to steeper inclines.
Many individuals choose to take portable ramps with them whilst they are out and about, with some suitable for entering and exiting vehicles. Our clients can rest assured that all of our ramps can be transported easily, as all have been manufactured to be both strong and lightweight. What’s more, most of our ramps can be folded down to a briefcase size with a handle, making them the perfect portable option for use around the home and within businesses.
To make independent living just a little bit easier we also supply wheelchair lifts and stairmates. These offer cost-effective and practical solutions for enabling wheelchair users to access all areas of a building, even those with large quantities of stairs.
The wheelchair ramps and lifts that we supply can be found by browsing our product catalogue. Images and specifications about the products that we have to offer are included, yet if clients have any questions about any of the items and their suitability for their situation, we recommend that they fill out our online contact form.

Emergency Evacuation Chair
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
While most businesses now recognise the vital importance of disabled access in the modern world, some companies overlook ways in which to safeguard those with a disability in certain infrequent situations, such as emergencies. In the event of a fire or similar hazard, it’s very dangerous to make use of regular facilities such as lifts. That’s why an evacuation chair is an essential part of every business’ disabled facilities. Here at K5 we believe that a company’s commitments to equality and diversity shouldn’t cost them a fortune, that’s why we stock such a varied range of evac chairs.
On our website customers will find a catalogue of chairs, including images, specifications and product descriptions which are ideal for choosing the right chair for your premises. We stock specialist equipment for larger individuals, or budget chairs for budding businesses keen to fulfil their obligations towards health and safety.
Evacuations chairs use a diverse range of techniques to help those with a disability escape from a building quickly and safely. Here at K5, we can offer advice regarding the most efficient technology, and customers can choose from single operation, tri wheel, and powered track chairs amongst others.
Businesses actually have a legal responsibility to ensure staff and visitors to their property can be evacuated in a dignified and efficient manner. Therefore, by neglecting to invest in something as useful as an evacuation chair, firms could be leaving themselves susceptible to lawsuits. Our website contains a wealth of downloadable information designed to keep various business types aware of the legal requirements in this area.
Here at K5 we can also offer maintenance and servicing for evacuation equipment in order to help you keep your valued staff and customers safe.
