Skateboard Park Demo
- 2008 |
American Ramp Company makes three different series of
equipment. They brought a long a sample of each type. |

The Pro Series (photos above) THICK 3/16” LASER CUT
FRAMEWORK
By using technology like a laser table to cut our thick
framework we are able to hold incredibly tight tolerances.
This ensures that each ramp section fits together
perfectly for a seamless feel and appearance.
TAMPER-RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL HARDWARE
All the hardware that is used is stainless steel and the
pinned-hex head bolts ensure that they are only removed
when you decide
HOT-DIP GALVANIZED COPING/GRINDRAILS
The galvanized coating ensures that even after years of
grinding these areas will still look great and be free of
rust.
THICK 3/16” STEEL RIDING SURFACE
This surface is guaranteed not to crack, dent, chip, warp,
or ever need replacing. Combine this with the corrosion
protection of galvanizing and the perfect traction of the
MaxGrip™ paint and it is easy to see why this surface is
the maintenance departments dream come true.
13-GAUGE GALVANIZED SOLID STEEL ENCLOSURES
Our thick steel enclosures are galvanized before they are
powder coated to ensure maximum corrosion protection. What
more can be said…we build a tank!
BEVELED LEADING EDGE
We take an extra step and bevel down the leading edge to
make the transition so smooth the rider glides on and off
the ramps.
NO APPROACH PLATE SEAM
Because the riding surface itself serves as the transition
from the ramp to the concrete, there is no need for a
separate approach plate. When an approach plate has to be
used, it creates a seam that runs perpendicular to flow of
traffic, which can be bothersome and even unsafe if the
materials shift over time.
MAXGRIP™ POLYESTER POWDERCOAT
We have done extensive research to formulate a paint that
provides the perfect traction for the action sports
industry. The MaxGrip™ surface is applied on top of the
galvanized ramp sections creating the ultimate combination
in corrosion protection.
VERTICAL BALUSTER GUARDRAILS
Hot-dip galvanized steel guardrails are not only tough and
corrosion resistant, but the vertical design will increase
visibility, allow airflow, and minimize the likelihood of
climbing.
10-GAUGE PLATFORM GUARDS (optional)
The solid panel design provides the same level of safety
as our vertical baluster design with a different look.
FASTENER FREE RIDING SURFACE
Since all the welding is done from the underside of the
ramp, there are no fasteners needed to attach the riding
surface. The result is a smooth ride without the worries
of screws backing out, which create hazardous riding
conditions and increased maintenance. |

The "X" Series (photos above) TRIPLE LAYER SURFACING
SYSTEM
1st layer – 13-gauge galvanized steel provides outstanding
support and is key in our advanced bolt-through design.
2nd layer – ½” HD Polyethylene is corrosion resistant and
serves as a buffer between the finish layer and the steel
substrate.
3rd interchangeable layer
* Phenolics (Ramp Armor, Skatelite Pro, Ramp X,) Paper
based phenolic resin surfaces that are available in a
choice of colors.
* MaxGrip™ - 12-gauge steel layer coated with our
exclusive MaxGrip™ finish.
* Veiled Vinylester (SkateShield) – Synthetic surfacing
with ultraviolet inhibitors, minimal water absorption, and
negligible thermal expansion.
* Stainless Steel – enough said.

THICK 3/16” LASER CUT FRAMEWORK
By using technology like a laser table to cut our thick
framework we are able to hold incredibly tight tolerances.

perfectly for a seamless feel and appearance.
CHOICE OF COLOR
Ramp Armor® and Skatelite Pro™ are available in your
choice of either tan or black.
HOT-DIP GALVANIZED GRINDRAILS
The galvanized coating ensures that even after years of
grinding, these areas will still look great and be free of
rust.
13-GAUGE GALVANIZED SOLID STEEL ENCLOSURES
Our thick steel enclosures are galvanized before they are
powder coated to ensure maximum corrosion protection. What
more can be said…we build a tank!
UNIFORM FINISH LAYER
Our engineers have gone the extra mile to develop a
surface plan that eliminates steel strapping between ramp
sections. Our advanced design gets rid of all the
bothersome ridges created by the steel straps, as well as
increasing safety by giving the entire riding surface the
same coefficient of friction.
VERTICAL BALUSTER GUARDRAILS
Hot-dip galvanized steel guardrails are not only tough and
corrosion resistant, but the vertical design will increase
visibility, allow airflow, and minimize the likelihood of
climbing.
10-GAUGE PLATFORM GUARDS (optional)
The solid panel design provides the same level of safety
as our vertical baluster design with a different look.
GALVANIZED UNI-FORM COPING SYSTEM
We begin with a piece of steel plate and form it to have
the same profile as 2 3/8” pipe. The advantages of our UNI-FORM
coping system include:
GALVANIZED UNI-FORM COPING SYSTEM
We begin with a piece of steel plate and form it to have
the same profile as 2 3/8” pipe. The advantages of our UNI-FORM
coping system include:
* The ¼” coping reveal is guaranteed since it is not
dependant on the framework, which will expand/contract
with the weather conditions.
* The riding surface is protected with steel behind AND
below the coping radius.
* There are no gaps behind or below the coping radius.

The Stealth Series (photos above) 1/4" RAMP ARMOR®/SKATELITE
PRO™
This paper-based material is used as the final riding
surface and every piece is cut on our C.N.C. router to
ensure quality and accuracy.
1/2" POLYETHYLENE / 3/4" VARIOLINE TMR
We offer a couple different corrosion proof options when
it comes to the substrate, and like Skatelite Pro™, every
piece is pre-engineered and cut on a C.N.C. router to meet
our rigorous standards.
STAINLESS STEEL FASTENERS
Our fasteners offer the best strength and corrosion
protection available to make certain your ramps can
withstand the elements.
2" x 6" LUMBER FRAMEWORK
We use a minimum ACQ treated 2" x 6" framework on 8"
centers.
CHOICE OF COLOR
Ramp Armor® and Skatelite Pro™ are available in your
choice or either tan or black.
HOT-DIP GALVANIZED GRINDRAILS
The galvanized coating ensures that even after years of
grinding, these areas will still look great and be free of
rust.
3/4“ HD POLYETHYLENE SIDES AND ENCLOSURES
This incredibly strong material is inherently corrosion
resistant and also encloses the equipment, leaving no
exposed lumber.
HOT-DIP GALVANIZED STEEL
All the steel on this ramp, from platform guards to the
toe plate is galvanized after fabrication to ensure
maximum corrosion protection.
GALVANIZED VERTICAL BALUSTER GUARDRAILS
Hot-dip galvanized steel guardrails are not only tough and
corrosion resistant, but the vertical design will increase
visibility, allow airflow, and minimize the likelihood of
climbing.
GALVANIZED UNI-FORM COPING SYSTEM
We begin with a piece of steel plate and form it to have
the same profile as 2 3/8" pipe. The advantages of our UNI-FORM
coping system include:
* The ¼" coping reveal is guaranteed since it is not

with the weather conditions.
* The riding surface is protected with steel behind AND
below the coping radius.
* There are no gaps behind or below the coping radius.
