Key Features
Optimal Slope and Safety (1:12 Ratio): The ramp adheres to the ADA-recommended 1:12 slope ratio, meaning for every 1 inch of vertical rise, there is 12 inches of ramp length (e.g., a 10-inch rise requires a 10-foot ramp).
This gentle incline prevents users from overexerting themselves and minimizes the risk of wheelchairs tipping or rolling backward.
Superior Slip-Resistant Surface: The surface features a high-traction, grooved, or mesh, self-draining aluminum, or broom-finished concrete deck. This ensures safety in all weather conditions—rain, snow, or ice—preventing dangerous slipping for wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers.
Sturdy Handrails on Both Sides: For safety and stability, the ramp includes continuous, 34-to-38-inch-high handrails on both sides, providing a secure grip for individuals using walkers, canes, or crutches. These rails are often rounded, easy to grasp, and do not rotate, ensuring stability.
Secure Edge Protection: The ramp includes 2-inch or higher curbs, or raised edge barriers, along the entire length to prevent wheels from slipping off the side.
Level Landing Areas: A 5-foot by 5-foot level, unobstructed, slip-resistant landing is provided at both the top and bottom of the ramp. This allows for a safe, stable place to stop, turn, or open doors, which is essential for independent maneuvering.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Materials: Constructed from weather-resistant, non-corrosive, heavy-duty aluminum or concrete, the ramp will not rust, rot, or warp. It is built for long-term outdoor use, requiring minimal maintenance, and is often engineered to support high weight capacities (e.g., 800+ lbs).
Stable Installation: Whether semi-permanent (placed on top of the ground) or permanent (cemented or bolted), the ramp is properly anchored to prevent shifting or settling.
