The E-z Ramp adjustable, modular handicap ramp system is a handicap ramp that is adjustable by means of pivoting mounting brackets on each end of the plank as well as a universal transition component that can be adjusted vertically and be used either straight or at a 90 degree angle. The ramp is constructed of fiberglass composite material with a reinforcement molded into each end for added strength around the mounting bracket bolts, all brackets and bolts are constructed of aluminum or stainless steel for corrosion.
