Rubber Threshold Ramp Installation – Is Fixing Required?

Does a Rubber Threshold Ramp Require Mechanical Fixing?

In most residential and commercial environments, a rubber threshold ramp DPR does not require mechanical fixing. Its weight and anti-slip surface provide stable positioning on flat floors.

DPR ramps are supplied without factory-drilled holes because they are engineered for stable stationary placement without mandatory anchoring.

Why Does the Ramp Stay in Place?

• Solid monolithic rubber structure;
• High friction contact with the floor;
• Substantial own weight;
• Even load distribution.

Under normal use, the rubber threshold ramp remains securely positioned.

When Is Fixing Recommended?

• High pedestrian traffic areas;
• Very smooth floor surfaces;
• Use with heavy transport carts;
• Outdoor installations.

How to Anchor a Rubber Threshold Ramp

If anchoring is required, holes can be drilled manually:

• Mark fixing points;
• Drill through the rubber;
• Drill into the concrete substrate;
• Install suitable anchors;
• Ensure screw heads are flush with the surface.

Recommended DPR Models

• Rubber Threshold Ramp 5 cm (DPR50)
• Rubber Threshold Ramp 7.6 cm (DPR76)
• Rubber Threshold Ramp 8.9 cm (DPR89)

Final Recommendation

The rubber threshold ramp DPR is designed to function safely without fixing in most situations. Anchoring is only necessary in high-load or special technical conditions.
