Innovation
Innovation is at the forefront of Excellent Systems values. Each product they create is carefully designed and tested for the intended user.
Environmental Considerations
The creation of Excellent Systems is a waste-free, cradle to cradle process, as any defective products and off cuts etc, can be sent for regeneration. All products are manufactured from the environmentally friendly material Polyethylene (PE), the same material that is used on the inside of milk cartons.

Excess material from installation and dismantling
To support a sustainable environment, all customers can send back their used ramps or tiles, whether broken or not, to the supplier. The recycle service is free of charge, apart from the return delivery fee. The parts will be recycled and re-entered into production creating new products, so you can do your bit for the environment.
All products are manufactured from the environmentally friendly material Polyethylene (PE).
The products can handle temperatures down to -50°C and up to 100°C.
Excellent Systems products can bear a weight of up to 2000kg.
Resistant Slip Resistant
The surfaces are self-draining and with SureGrip inserted, have increased slip resistance.
All products are resistant to acid and household detergents.
Tests have shown that the products are harmless under combustion with no toxic substances released.
Explore the Surfaces
Surfaces
Holes
The standard surface with holes is slip resistant and self-draining. Dirt will be collected inside the ramp, whereby it can be removed and easily cleaned.
SureGrip
The surface with SureGrip tiles inserted at 50% coverage is recommended mainly for outdoor use and increases the slip resistance. At 100% coverage SureGrip is well suited to all footwear, especially pointed heels.
When specified in Yellow, SureGrip can also be used as a visual indication.
Infill tile
Manufactured from regenerated materials, with fixed C-locks on 2 sides and reduced surface area, these help to reduce the cost of building a solution when placed underneath the top surface.
N.B. There is extra room for C-Locks on all sides.
Six-Pack infill tile
Equivalent to 6 full tiles, stacked side by side, 3 layers high. Designed to minimise materials and be quicker to install, therefore reducing the cost when building larger ramps and platforms. Placed on the lower layers.
N.B. Produced from partly new and regenerated materials, meaning the colour can vary.
Hard tile
Most tiles are available in a ‘Hard’ version which is produced from a higher density material. These are well suited to carpeted surfaces to minimise movement and reduce unwanted ‘flex’. Please speak to a member of our technical team in these instances who can better advise on the most suitable product.
Please note: may be subject to a minimum order quantity and leadtime.

Why choose a Ramp Kit?
When it comes to tackling a small threshold with simplicity and ease, then look no further than a Ramp Kit. Each kit includes a pre-assembled layer, fixings and fitting instructions and can be installed in a matter of minutes.
The flexibility of Excellent Systems enables it to be used in situations and locations where other portable equipment may not be suitable. The ramp is made for both indoor and outdoor use, making it perfect for garages and clearance over kerbs and driveways. Being fully modular, it is also possible to re-use and re-configure all components within a kit.
If you are unsure which kit you require, take a look at the specifications provided in this booklet or call us for advice. We also offer a full range of individual components so you can receive a completely bespoke solution.

Why choose QuickRamps?
QuickRamps are delivered ready to use and can be lifted and re-fitted with ease. This is useful if your needs change, or if you move house, for example. The QuickRamps are all made with a width of 1000mm and are easy to adjust yourself.
The heights vary from 4 to 60mm. Find the right height for your doorstep by measuring it with a tape measure, or even easier with our Ramp-o-metre.
On the backside of the QuickRamps there is space for 4-5 QuickPads or QuickTape. The tape is double sided, for a semi-permanent attachment on a smooth floor. Mounting pads are adhesive on the underside, so they can be mounted directly to the floor. When cleaning, the ramp is easily lifted and the QuickPads remain in place.

Understanding Gradients
Excellent Systems is an award winning range of products, which fit together and combine to form ramps, platforms, floors etc. The system is easily assembled with a range of locks and can be disassembled and rebuilt into different shapes and sizes, without specialist tools.
Standard Gradients
1:7 Gradient | Typically used as a portable solution.
Use Ramp I and Ramp I+ tiles to achieve this gradient.
Generally used for short ramps where using a powered chair or when the user is assisted.
1:14 Gradient | Typically used where ramps will be left down.
Use Ramp II tiles to achieve this gradient. For added strength, use Ramp I+ at the foot of the ramp.
Generally used for users that are self propelled or use a walking frame.
Being fully modular it is possible to configure a ramp to suit the needs of an individual user, by incorporating rest (level) areas and more. Contact us for more adivce!
Assembly Ramp Adjuster
With the Ramp adjuster it’s possible to make fine height adjustments in 2mm increments without the need for tools.
You can simply adjust to the height you need by hand before placing it under a tile.
Assembly C-Lock
C-Lock connects: tiles in layers horizontally.
C-Lock is easy to mount and dismount by hand.
A rubber mallet makes connecting all tiles and ramps even easier.
Assembly R-Lock & T-Lock
R-Lock connects: ramps on top of tiles. Used on the inclined surfaces.
Ramp I - Use R-Lock on first row of the ramp as shown above.
Place R-Lock with the dot pointing upwards following the angle of the ramp.
Ramp II + - Use R-Lock on second row of the ramp as shown above.
Ramp II - Use R-Lock on second row of the ramp as shown above.
The lock is knocked into the ramp with a rubber mallet.
T-Lock connects: two layers of tiles on top of each other.

Assembly Expansion Guide
All materials expand when temperature increases and contract when it drops. As an example, look at expansion joints on bridges.
Polyethylene also expands, and the Expansion Guide is used to allow for this, when installing outdoors.
It is important to use Expansion Guides so that the ramp/ flooring will expand in the intended direction. Here a couple of examples on how to place the Expansion Guides:
Fixpoint in front of doorstep
Fixpoint close to corner
Placement of Expansion Guides:
Lift the bottom layer and place the Expansion Guide underneath the tiles.
Use, if possible, the two outer holes in the Expansion Guide. Fix one screw at a time.
1 2
Hammer the supplied screw into the hole with a screwdriver and a rubber mallet.
Drill a hole in the ground/floor through the tile and Expansion guide.
Repeat for the other screw.
Doorstep
Assembly Expansion Guide
The Ramp can be lifted from the Expansion Guide, so cleaning the ground is possible.
Ramp Expansion Example:
Expansion in width
Fixpoint in front of doorstep Expansion lengthwise
Place the Expansion Guide at the fixpoint in front of the doorstep/edge and underneath the ramp to the middle. This way you will keep the ramp in place so it will neither move away from the doorstep or to the sides.
Length Expansion: When installed at 15˚C, the ramp has a length of 2006mm. At 40˚C in the sun, it will expand to 2016mm. In wintertime, it contracts to 2000mm.
Width Movement: When installed at 15˚C, the ramp has a width of 1059mm. At 40˚C in the sun, it will expand to 1512mm. In wintertime, it contracts to 1500mm.

Assembly QuickRamps
Wipe surface clean to remove dirt before starting. Place QuickRamp into desired position.
Use handsaw, utility knife or jigsaw to cut length if needed.
For 4 - 8mm ramps, use QuickTape. Peel the film and apply the tape to the bottom of the ramp. Turn back over and put into desired position.
For 10 - 60mm ramps, use QuickPad
Align the ramp to the desired position. Small arrows on the ramp will indicate the placement needed for the QuickPads

For indoor installation, simply peel the adhesive strip and place into position.
For outdoor installation, place the QuickPad into position and secure with a screw.
Once the QuickPads have been secured, slide and lift the ramp into position to secure the QuickRamp. Your ramp will now be ready to use.
If you need to remove the ramp, then unscrew (if outdoor installation was followed). Otherwise using a flat head screwdriver, lift the QuickPad up and it will peel away; some pressure may need to be applied. Sometimes a residue may remain, however, simply rub the area with your finger or a damp cloth to remove.
