For a semi-permanent access ramp a or a gradient, depending on the threshold height, is required by UK building regulations. If you require a portable wheelchair ramp, then at least a gradient is advisable for ease of use and comfort.
The equation is very simple! When choosing a portable access ramp take the vertical measurement from ground level to door and multiply by 6 to get the correct ramp length.
A second choice is the EZ access Suitcase Trifold Ramp which comes in a 10 foot length that weighs in at over 80 lbs. Assistance would be needed for a person in a wheelchair to insure their safety. This ramp is available in an 8-foot length, which is the minimum length we might recommend for three short steps with a combined rise of 16 inches or less which is slightly higher than two standard steps.
The recommendation of 8 feet assumes that the person in the wheelchair will always be attended by a helper. If a person in a wheelchair is to navigate the ramp on their own, a longer ramp will be required. We here at Handi-Ramp talk all day about rises and ramp lengths.

Schools Using HandiTreads. All posted comments are the views and opinions of the poster only. Ok my maths is lousy. Im in a power wheelchair, So fairly robust. I miss visiting my friends houses but everyone if them has front steps. Im not sure if the accurate height but they have 2 to 3 steps that are just what I call.
I really am sick of being stuck at home and only having visitors come to me. I have seen 1 metre ramps but someone told me it would do 2 steps easily. Im trying to picture that against your inclines and seems like a sales pitch. So think im best to purchase direct?.. Almost just a kerb? I am planning to purchase a wheelchair over here. Just wanted to know whether I should go with a manual wheelchair or an electric one if I don't want to be carried everywhere by an attendant all the time.
I wanted to be independent. I need a ramp to go up two steps, a total of 17 inches in height. The scooter says it can have a 6 degree slope. How do I figure out what length ramp? I know I don't have room for the standard ratio. Thank you!! Climbing 17 in would be 17 inch climb at would be plan length from the top step straight out so the ramp would be a little longer than Current ICC States that there needs to be a 48" landing after every 12 ft length of ramp.
So, for a 2 foot 24 inch stoop to place a ramp it would have to be 2 12 foot sections with a 48" landing in the center, 28 feet long. If that is too long and you want to "bend"it, the landing must have room for 60" diameter or at least a 5ft x 5ft landing. However if your site geometry does not permit a straight 7. I need a wheelchair ramp that should be about 5 foot going out and then turn left for about 3 feet.
Hi Pam, Have you found a ramp with these specifications? According to ADA, for 13 feet in height, you need a You also need to split your straight ramp into more parts to meet ADA standards.
The maximum distance between the two landings should be 9 m for such a slope. According to ADA, you need to Looking to build a wheelchair ramp the length I'm looking to work with is 8ft in length what does the rise to end measurement have to be. Is it out of acceptable tolerance? Is the slope different if a ramp is just going to be used for a person with a walker rather than a person with the wheelchair? I need a walker ramp going 48 inches high.
How long should my ramp be to be within code in Ontario? I live in a basement suite, with ramp from my outside door to top floor outside landing Which is about 9' higher than my level, with a steep 28' ramp from my basement landing to top landing.
