-
Determine the Rise. This is the
measurement in inches from the ground straight up to the top of
your
platform/entrance. ADA standards state that you should have a foot of ramp
per inch of rise. Example: 7 inch rise should have a 7 foot ramp. ADA
standards are required to be met for most commercial locations, however in
residential locations, the choice is yours.
-
Determine a Safe Slope. The slope is the tilted angle
of the ramp in degrees. Please review the information below to determine a
safe slope for your modular ramp.
-
1:12 SLOPE (5 Degrees): This
is the ADA recommended slope for commercial or public access ramps. This 5
degree angle is the best solution for manual wheelchair users who will be
propelling themselves up the ramp and for users of electric wheelchairs and
scooters.
-
2:12 SLOPE (9.5 Degrees): This
Slope is not recommended for commercial use by ADA standards, but can be
used in residential applications. This slope usually works with an able
assistant to push the mobility equipment from behind (or walk along-side
while powering the equipment up with no rider) for those unable to power
themselves up the ramp. For those powering themselves up the ramp with
manual wheelchair (strong users only), electric scooters or electric
wheelchairs, please check the manufacturers specifications for the safe
climbing grade of the equipment.
-
3:12 SLOPE (14.5 Degrees):
At this angle, stability and use become a concern for mid-wheel drive
electric wheelchairs and ground clearance of most 3 and 4 wheel scooters.
Use this only for residential use for loading unoccupied electric
wheelchairs and scooters that have the ground clearance to clear this steep
angle.
-
Determine the Layout of the Land: When you determine
the length of the modular ramp system you need, consider the layout of the
land. If you need a 30 foot long ramp, do you have 30 foot of space in front
of, or to either side of the platform? Also, is the ground flat and level or
is it sloped, on a hill, or is there un-even terrain? Don't forget to
consider the landscape. Are there any trees or shrubs in the way of your
layout?
This is the information that you need to
design your modular ramp. Once you have the answers to these questions, please
call our design experts at 1-800-449-8991 or fax your bid requests to
727-549-0614.
