Wheelchair ramps facilitate access for people with disabilities or mobility issues to buildings, vehicles, and other spaces. They are usually lightweight, portable, and easy to use, making them an essential tool for those who use wheelchairs or mobility aids.
The ADA recommends a 1:12 slope for wheelchair ramps, meaning there should be 12 inches of the ramp for every inch of elevation. This slope is gentle and accessible for all users.
Manually assisted or powered wheelchairs typically use ramps with a 10-degree slope, while the maximum recommended slope for power wheelchairs or strongly assisted manual wheelchairs is 12 degrees.
