Technical info
More than 24 years ago, Rhino set the standard for composite skate ramp construction.
Now after years of experience, we have developed the perfect combination of skating performance and product durability. Our composite construction gives the skaters the solid ride and feel they require to pursue their sport.
Our galvanised and stainless steel finish delivers the low maintenance and long life that public works projects demand from the toughest neighbourhoods to the most extreme climates of the world. RHINO uses only the highest quality materials available to construct the most solid and durable ramps in the market.
Skate ramp construction
1. Galvanised steel sides
Ventilation is designed into every ramp to allow for adequate air flow. All our ramps are fully enclosed to prevent trash collection and unwanted access. Quite simply, the toughest finishing standard available.
2. Safety rails
Heavy duty, hot galvanised steel safety rails, built to last for ever. Vertical solid bars contain flying skateboards and (unlike horizontal pickets) they are very difficult to climb.
3. Toeplates
Hot galvanised steel toeplates. The smoothest on the market. Our approach angles are smaller than any competitor.
4. Coping
Hot galvanised 3 mm thick steel tube to grind on. the surface behind this coping is protected with a steel grindplate, bmx pegs can not damage the surface.
5. Galvanised steel edge protections
All inclined outside edges are protected by rounded (5 mm (1/4”)) galvanised steel profiles mounted flush with the skate surface. Offered exclusively by RHINO, this unique edge protection not only protects the surface edges, but also minimizes the effect of an impact on the skaters.
6. Transition protection
All the transitions of our ramps are protected with a galvanised steel transition plate, mounted flush with the surface. With no gaps or sharp edges, our transitions skate smoother and safer than our competitors.
7. Aluminium profiles
Used for non-skateable edges, they give the ramps a quality finish.
8. Seam protections
All vertical seams in the riding surface are covered with a hot galvanised steel seam protection, mounted flush with the surface. This unique solution creates a smoother riding surface and protects the inside edges of the surface.
9. HPL ground contact strips
The side panels are supported by 6 mm (1/4”) HPL strips to allow a good ventilation together with the ventilation holes in the side panels.
10. Stainless steel screws
All the screws have a specially designed, double asymetric thread. These screws hold 40 % better than normal screws and won’t come loose under mechanical pressure, as they are glued with Loctite. Anti-vandalism heads prevent disassembling.
11. Rhinotop
The quality of this specially developed riding surface is second to none. It’s the dream of every skater combined with a durability comparable to steel. This surface has a perfect grip on the skate wheels, it’s very impact and gouge resistant, it’s fire resistant, absorbs no water and it doesn’t burn your skin when you slide on the ramps. This surface, together with our unique subconstruction, gives the ramps the professional feeling the skaters are looking for. Under our riding surface you can find a glassfibre reinforced PP-underlay, to reduce the noise as much as possible.
12. Grindrails
We have kinked, straight, rectangular and round grindrails in a number of different configurations. The ends of all of our grindrails are curved down to minimize the effect of an impact.

Reviews
I always skateboard at the ramp installed in Carver, MN. I just wanted to say that we love it !
Hello, I’m live in Akranes on Iceland and I just wanted to say that your ramps are the best ramps I have ever tested. Cya and thank you for great ramps.
The team has tested your facilities in Bradley Stoke and Cornwall (St. Ives etc.). The verdict is very encouraging. The noise was excellent as you said and the ride was better than skatelite and metal. What more can I say !! We wait with anticipation for your quote.
Hi Rhino, My name is Michael and I have been skating on a skate park in Dingley Victoria and I loved the feel and the look of rhino ramps.
To whom it may concern, We highly recommend Rhino Ramps. Rhino is the designer / manufacturer of the original moveable skatepark system. Designed in Europe, meets European standards, Rhino also has a new surface that is suitable for BMX bikes. We believe their product is superior and they are a very reputable company to work with. Peter van Winkel, Saunaco / Rhino Ramps, has been involved with SPAUSA on an advisory level for the past years and Rhino Ramps was recently given a SPAUSA/Concrete Disciples award for ‘Innovative Design’ for their moveable skatepark system.
This vert ramp Rhino Ramps has built in Ventspils is the most stable modular vert ramp I ever skated on; it doesn’t move at all when you ride it ! The riding surface gives a very good grip on the wheels, is super fast and has no seams. It could have a little bit more vert for blasting big airs. It is for sure one of the best vert ramps in Europe.
Hello Peter, It was great to meet you and be part of the conference last week. The kids LOVED the park and we were grateful for the opportunity to experience a Rhino skate park with them. Very much look forward to staying in touch with you and working with Rhino Ramps in the very near future. Thanks again for a great day.
