ADA Accessibility Policy
Last updated: March 10, 2026
Turner Uni-Drive is committed to ensuring that our website and digital content are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We believe that every person deserves equal access to the information, products, and services we offer. This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to provide an inclusive online experience in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Our Commitment
Turner Uni-Drive recognizes that digital accessibility is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing responsibility. We are dedicated to maintaining and improving the usability of our website for all visitors, regardless of ability. Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, which addresses the broadest range of user needs and provides a widely accepted benchmark for digital accessibility.
We view accessibility as integral to our values as a manufacturer that serves a diverse range of customers and partners across many industries. Ensuring that everyone can access information about our gearboxes, speed reducers, and engineering services is a priority that guides our website development and content creation.
Conformance Status
We strive to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA across all pages of our website. While we work diligently to achieve full conformance, we acknowledge that accessibility is an evolving discipline and that some areas of our site may not yet fully meet every criterion. We are actively working to identify and resolve any gaps.
Our conformance efforts are guided by the four core principles of WCAG:
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components are presented in ways that all users can perceive, including those who rely on assistive technologies
- Operable: User interface components and navigation are operable by all users, including those who navigate by keyboard alone or through voice commands
- Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface are clear, predictable, and easy to comprehend
- Robust: Content is developed to be compatible with current and future assistive technologies and user agents
Standards and Regulations
Our accessibility efforts are informed by and designed to comply with the following standards and regulations:
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Title III of the ADA requires that places of public accommodation, which courts and the Department of Justice have interpreted to include websites, be accessible to individuals with disabilities
- Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act: While Section 508 directly applies to federal agencies, Turner Uni-Drive voluntarily aligns with its technical standards to ensure broad compatibility and accessibility
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA: Published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), these guidelines serve as our primary technical standard for accessibility conformance
Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following accessibility features and practices throughout our website:
Semantic HTML and Document Structure
- Proper use of HTML5 semantic elements (header, nav, main, section, article, footer) to provide meaningful document structure
- Logical heading hierarchy (h1 through h6) that accurately reflects content organization and allows screen reader users to navigate by heading level
- Descriptive page titles that identify the purpose and content of each page
- Appropriate use of landmark regions to help assistive technology users identify and navigate to major sections of each page
Keyboard Navigation
- All interactive elements, including links, buttons, form fields, and navigation menus, are accessible via keyboard alone
- Visible focus indicators are provided so that keyboard users can identify which element currently has focus
- A logical tab order is maintained throughout all pages, following the natural reading flow of the content
- Skip navigation links are provided to allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive content and proceed directly to the main content area
- No keyboard traps exist on our site; users can navigate freely into and out of all interactive components
Visual Design and Color Contrast
- Text color contrast ratios meet or exceed the WCAG 2.1 Level AA minimum requirements of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text
- Color is never used as the sole means of conveying information; supplemental cues such as text labels, icons, and patterns are provided alongside color indicators
- Content remains readable and functional when text is resized up to 200% without loss of information or functionality
- The site layout is responsive and adapts to various screen sizes, orientations, and zoom levels
Images and Alternative Text
- All informative images include descriptive alternative text (alt attributes) that convey the purpose and content of the image to screen reader users
- Decorative images that do not convey meaningful information are marked with empty alt attributes so that assistive technologies skip them
- Complex images, such as diagrams or technical illustrations, are accompanied by detailed text descriptions where appropriate
ARIA Labels and Roles
- Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes are used to supplement native HTML semantics where additional context is needed for assistive technology users
- ARIA labels are applied to interactive elements, navigation regions, and dynamic content areas to provide clear identification and purpose
- ARIA roles and states are used to communicate the behavior and current state of interactive components such as dropdown menus, sliders, and form controls
Forms and Input Fields
- All form fields include visible labels that are programmatically associated with their corresponding input elements
- Error messages are clearly identified and associated with the relevant form field so that users of assistive technology can understand and correct errors
- Required fields are indicated both visually and programmatically
- Form instructions are provided before the form begins so that users understand what is expected before they start filling in fields
Responsive Design and Mobile Accessibility
- Our website is designed to be fully functional and accessible on devices of all sizes, including desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones
- Touch targets are sized appropriately for mobile users, meeting or exceeding recommended minimum dimensions
- Content reflows properly when the viewport is resized, preventing the need for horizontal scrolling at standard zoom levels
Screen Reader Compatibility
- Our website is developed to be compatible with commonly used screen readers, including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver
- Dynamic content updates are communicated to screen readers through the use of ARIA live regions where appropriate
- Page content is structured to provide a coherent and meaningful reading order when accessed through assistive technology
Third-Party Content
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or embed third-party content that is outside of our direct control. While we make reasonable efforts to link to accessible third-party resources, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of external websites or content.
