EasyTrail® is a maintenance-free bathing ramp that makes swimming areas more accessible, safe, and inclusive. Developed in collaboration with the Disability Movement’s Idea & Knowledge Centre in Kronoberg, Sweden, it is designed to provide easy and secure access to the water for everyone – regardless of age or mobility.
More and more municipalities are choosing EasyTrail® to make their swimming areas accessible. The ramp’s design complies with the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning regulations (BFS 2011:5 – ALM2) and has been developed in close collaboration with accessibility consultant Maarit Lundwall. The result is a product that works in practice – both for users and for those responsible for maintaining the facility.
EasyTrail® consists of 2.5-meter sections that can be easily locked together without tools. The telescopic legs are adjusted from above and compensate for uneven bottoms, making installation quick and safe. When the swimming season is over, the ramp can be removed and stored on land.
The thoughtfully designed construction offers:
Low total cost
Long service life
Minimal maintenance
Every detail of EasyTrail® is designed to withstand many years of use in both freshwater and saltwater. The ramp sections are made of sturdy aluminum profiles with a slip-resistant surface and a robust construction for stability even under heavy loads. All components are modular, allowing the ramp to be extended or adapted to the site’s conditions. A 5-year warranty is included.
EasyTrail® is developed and manufactured in Värnamo by Floattech Sweden AB. Swedish production provides:
Fast delivery times
Good availability of spare parts
Support from planning to installation
For municipalities, this means a sustainable solution with low life-cycle costs – and a secure investment for the future.
