🛠️ Why The Ramp Man Exists?

Let’s be real — for years, the only viable option out there was KERBY™.

‘Everyone’ in Selwyn, Canterbury, NZ, used this aluminium extrusion because it was the only thing available, the best ramp at the time. From 2020 to now, nothing really has evolved. But here’s the thing: I was getting frustrated. It didn’t quite eliminate that ba$tard bump — especially for lowered cars like mine and particularly in hilly situations like Auckland, Wellington, Port Hills of Christchurch, and circular cul-de-sacs. Bottoming out or needing a push in my wheelchair every time? Not fun.

On top of that, people kept reaching out with requests:

“Can you help with my hill driveway entrance from the road and the dip into the garage over that drainage channel?”

“My lowered car nose scrapes when coming out of my driveway.”

“My lowered car rear scrapes when coming into my driveway.”

“Can you do something for mobility solutions?”

“What about ramps for ATVs, bikes, caravans, motorhomes, trailers, boats, hoists, forklift ramps, gate slider ramps to eliminate Health & Safety risks — or even fencing features, wheelchair access for doorways, and more!?”

It wasn’t just cars anymore — it was everything.

And I thought: “Bugger it — let’s do something nobody else is doing – make the best custom-made metal ramps in New Zealand”.

About TheRampMan.NZ

So, TheRampMan was born in early 2025…

We’re now fully set up in Rolleston, with a ridgy-didge laser cutter, folder, and welding setup. This gear does it all — no drilling, no mess, no mucking around. We can even blast-cut your logo, or get creative with custom designs (think ferns in fencing panels — yeah, that’s a thing).

I’m a Graphic Designer by trade, so design? Covered. I’ll work directly with our engineers to make your ideas happen, end to end.

Because we source the Aluminium 5052 plate directly and handle fabrication, folding, and welding all under one roof, we’ve made it super cost-effective — without compromising strength, safety, or style. Plus, we are conscious of recycling and mindful with our designs to avoid waste.

The uptake? Massive. We’ve got interest flooding in from Auckland to Wellington, Nelson to Invercargill, and since we’re South Island-based, we can turn things around very quickly — especially for places like Timaru and Queenstown.

And here’s the kicker — I couldn’t even walk a few years ago due to Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). I know what access challenges feel like. Now I’m turning that experience into something that genuinely helps others.

That’s the real win!

Oh — and these new custom ramp plates? They’re the Rolls-Royce of ramps.

In my humble (and tested) opinion, they eliminate the bump 99% smoother than anything else on the market.

PLUS, the new-to-market fixings I supply are next-level — think 316 stainless steel on steroids and twice as strong at a very good price! More info in your FREE QUOTE.

This isn’t just a business. It’s personal.

It’s custom – It’s next-level.

🛠️ Need a custom ramp ASAP!? 

Maybe a ramp with special features like your logo on it, even powder-coated any colour you like?

🚨 Need a Metal Access Ramp ASAP? Yes, we can — but here’s the deal…

We use a ridgy-didgy industrial laser cutter – it’s fast, accurate, and built for serious work. But… it takes at least 2.5 hours to warm up and calibrate, and burns through over $100+GST in power just to get started. 😬

That’s why we usually wait to run a batch of orders at once — it keeps things efficient and affordable for everyone.

💥 Can we make a ramp urgently? Absolutely.

But:

• It’ll cost a bit more to run the machine for a one-off.

• If folding, welding, or countersinking is needed, allow extra time.

• Most urgent jobs still take at least 1–2 days, depending on the queue.

• For freight, add another day or two depending on your address.

⏳ SO as a general rule, give us a week or so to get your ramp fully processed and ready.

If you’re in a rush, we’ll help — just know it might cost a little extra – so let’s talk!
