Why US operators and OEMs should take a look
Compak ramps are factory-installed equipment on new buses from global manufacturers, and a retrofit option for fleets already in service.
Now in the United States. Compak Ramps has expanded into the US market. The same ramps that run daily on buses in the UK, Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Africa are now available to US transit operators, shuttle fleets, and vehicle builders, with US sales and support through compakrampsusa.com. APTA Chicago is where you can meet the team in person.
