PATHWAY® 3G Modular Access System
The PATHWAY® 3G Modular Access System consists of ramps, stairs, and platforms, all of which may be combined and configured in a variety of ways to provide a customized access solution for your home. Its unique features, including universal components and interchangeable surface and handrail options, make it an excellent choice when your residential access requirements extend beyond the scope of a portable ramp. If your needs change, the PATHWAY 3G can transition with you. This American-made modular system is made of durable aluminum and comes complete with our lifetime warranty. Powder coating options are also available. Call customer service for additional information, or click through the tabs below.
Product Features
- Infinite Configurations:
The PATHWAY 3G allows for infinite modular ramp and platform configurations, creating safe and seamless access for both standard and unique entryways. Ramp lengths from 2'-8' and platform sizes up to 8'x5' enable you to overcome any access challenge at your home. - Superior Surface Options:
Choose from two surface options - solid and expanded metal - to meet your needs.- The solid option features an extruded tread surface with raised ribs to provide exceptional slip-resistance.
- Expanded metal utilizes diamond-shaped openings to allow multi-directional traction and reduced surface accumulation.
- Premium Handrail Styles:
Four handrail options are available. These component-based rail options are easy-to-assemble and customize. All styles are made of aluminum and feature a durable finish with a continuous top rail.- Single rails are a versatile, one-line handrail solution and are the most economical choice.
- The most popular handrail configuration, the two-line rail provides an additional gripping surface by adding a second rail below the continuous top rail.
- Vertical pickets offer an added level of safety, especially for children and small pets. Our pre-assembled aluminum inserts meet the 4-inch sphere rule for spacing.
- Horizontal pickets offer an aesthetic option while maintaining safety. These horizontal inserts run parallel to the topmost rail.
- Durable and Safe:
The PATHWAY 3G is made of high-strength aluminum which will not deteriorate in the outdoor elements and features slip-resistant surfaces that maintain traction in any weather. Sides are finished and flush with no hazardous nuts or bolts protruding into the usable ramp area. - Aluminum Advantage:
The PATHWAY 3G is virtually maintenance free, it will not rust or rot and is constructed from an environmentally friendly material. - Hassle-free Design:
The ramp system will not impact your home's property value because it does not alter or add to the structure of the residence - no poured footers, no construction - just simple assembly. - Quick and Efficient Installation:
The PATHWAY 3G installs quickly, which means minimal disruption for you and your family. Typically, a 24-foot system can be installed, including handrails, in less than an hour. - Made in the USA and carries a lifetime warranty.

FAQ
-
Do concrete footers need to be poured?
Our multi-positional base feet have a large footprint which eliminates the need for concrete pavers or poured footers. They are also offset and rotatable, allowing you to tuck them under a ramp or set them close to a wall.
-
Does my modular ramp system have to go straight out or can it turn?
You can configure the system to be a straight run or it can turn left or right by simply using a turn platform. The ramp system can also incorporate a switchback by using a turn back platform or it can extend at an angle by using a 45 degree angle platform. The system can be configured to meet your exact needs.
-
What sizes do the platforms and ramps come in?
We offer standard resting platforms in the following sizes: 4'x4', 4'x5', 5'x5', 5'x6', 6'x6' and 8'x5'. Ramps are 36” & 48” wide and come in lengths of 2’-8’. Custom sizes are available upon request.
-
What do I use for ice and snow removal on ramps, platforms, and steps?
We suggest using Magnesium Chloride salt substitute. Check out a blog we wrote on this!
-
Why don't you sell platforms without handrails?
Safety is important to us and selling platforms with handrails is our standard.
-
What kind of tread is used on this ramp system?
Our platforms consist of a knurled, extruded tread for multi-directional traction, and our ramps feature a raised-rib, extruded tread for ultimate slip-resistance.
-
Can I get the black applied surface on this ramp?
No, it is not available on our modular ramp system. This surface is available on two of our SUITCASE® portable folding ramps.
-
How long will installation take?
Depending on the configuration, installation time will vary, however a 24-foot system can typically be assembled with minimal tools in less than 30 minutes.
-
Do the steps have to connect to one of your platforms?
The steps can not only connect to one of our platform but they can also easily connect to an existing platform or deck because they have 4 independently adjustable legs.

My sister and I are in our late 60’s & early 70’s. We can now get our brother in and out of the house without killing him or ourselves. The ramp is wonderful and a blessing. We had to get him up and down 4 steep steps before the ramp was installed. The people who installed the ramp did excellent work and explained everything to us. Thank you so much.

It is a lot easier to leave the home with the security of the ramp. Our first outing will be to the doctor’s office and lunch afterwards. Thanks to all who made this convenience possible. It will make life a lot more manageable.

We love the EZ-ACCESS Pathway now my grandpa don’t have to use the steps anymore and we don’t have to worry about him falling.

The first place my husband went was to the driveway without assistance, just to get outside after one year on his own. It may not seem like much to someone without disabilities, but the smallest thing you can accomplish on your own is huge! My husband will no longer have to struggle with climbing the stairs on his knee (without one leg) and falling! Thank you EZ-ACCESS!
Mrs. John S.

Both the ramp and installer … have been an absolute blessing to my husband Roy, also our family. It has given my husband back some greatly missed independence and safety! He now can not only walk to our vehicle- access our front porch where he can watch and interact with our grandchildren – family- neighbors. Your help in all of this is greatly appreciated and we give all involved our heartfelt thanks!

Having a Pathway Modular System provides me an element of safety in an environment that had caused me numerous falls in the past. The first access was on April 25, 2014 when I was able to get in a car, go to the Pharmacy for medicine, gas station for gasoline, bank for deposits and grocery store for shopping. It was the first time out of my house since September 2013.

To whom it may concern, I want to thank you, as a veteran that has been in a wheelchair for about 6 years, this ramp has made a difference in how I get into my home. Your distributor was very helpful & prompt in getting it up. This will make my life a lot easier & quality of life will be better. Sincerely & Thank you.

This gives my father a safety entrance and exit of his home. The two gentlemen that installed the ramp were absolutely wonderful and we are really grateful the VA of Butler chose EZ-ACCESS for the ramp and installation.

I love the ramp most because I can sit in my wheelchair and ride out of the house to car. Also, it provides a safety as I cannot walk and my wheelchair will not go through the other door to outside in case of fire.

“Finished job in approximately 2 hrs or less. The ramp is a great way for me to use my walker or wheelchair to get me in/out of my house with little effort. I am very pleased with the material ramp is made of and clean-up was just great. I know I will be able to get out in the general public once again. Thanks so much.”
Sherri H.

“What I love most about my Pathway ramp is being able to ride my power chair from my front door to my vehicle. I now will be able to park my vehicle further back on my driveway and get in out from under the sticky pecan tree sap, and not have to walk so far and end up short of breath. I don’t know where I will go first, but think I will not be as afraid to try to go anywhere now.”
J Miller
-
I love the new ramp completely. Now, I can get out on my back porch any time I want to. The first place I plan to go is around my property! Where I used to walk, I can now ride! most of all, though I can get out of the house and go without hindrance, anywhere I want to go.
