Best Metal Ramps – The Best custom-made metal curb/kerb road and wheelchair access ramps in New Zealand (NZ)

Let’s be real — for years, the only viable option out there was KERBY™.
‘Everyone’ in Selwyn, Canterbury, NZ, used it because it was the only thing available. From 2020 to now, nothing really 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, 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 and the dip into the garage?”

“My car scrapes when coming out of 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 metal ramps in New Zealand.

 

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, and since we’re South Island-based, we can turn things around quickly — especially for places like Queenstown.

And here’s the kicker — I couldn’t even walk a few years ago due to Guillain-Barré Syndrome. 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!

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

It’s custom – It’s next-level.
