American Ramp Company : Pro Series : Skatepark Design

	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. But isn’t a steel riding surface… Too hot? (use graph from current catalog) Whether or not Skatelite™ could burn a rider on a hot day is never an issue. Heat testing conducted by an independent engineering firm on a hot summer day revealed that ARC’s gray MaxGrip™ coating is actually over 10? cooler than black Skatelite Pro™. Too loud? (use graph from current catalog) Whether the riding surface is all steel or composite material, all approach plates, (which join the ramps to the ground) are made of metal, generating a certain level of noise upon skateboard impact. However, independent sound studies have shown that any noise generated from skating blends in with normal background noise somewhere between 50 and 100 feet away from the park. Furthermore, sound treatment is an option in sound-sensitive residential settings. Too slick? ARC President and long-time skateboarder, Nathan Bemo, personally tested over 30 textured paint formulas before approving our MaxGrip™ coating, which provides just the right slip-to-grip ratio.
