Americans with Disability Act (ADA)

  • The ramp must have a slope of 1:12 or less – every inch of rise requires 12 inches of ramp length.
  • The minimum ramp width must be at least 36 inches, though some U.S. states may require a greater width.
  • There must be a rest platform on the ramp for at least every 30 inches of vertical rise.
  • Ramps should have a top and bottom landing at least 60 inches long.
  • All edges must be protected so there is no risk of falling off the ramp.
  • Ramps above 6 inches tall must have continuous handrails on both sides.

International Building Code (IBC)

  • The ramp must have a slope of 1:12 or less – every inch of rise requires 12 inches of ramp length.
  • A ramp exceeding 30 feet must have an intermediate platform.
  • A ramp must have side flanges of 2 inches or more to prevent accidental slipping from the edge.
  • A ramp addressing more than 6 inches should have handrails.
  • Ramps and platforms must have non-skid surfaces and be designed to prevent water accumulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight ramps offer a simple, cost-effective route from one elevation to the next when space is available. Minimizing turns is the simplest way to reduce costs in an accessible route.

It’s essential to work with a design professional to ensure your ramp is built in accordance with regulations. Dimensions are very specific for accessible routes, so you may need to consider an alternative layout if space is limited.

Our ramps utilize different materials fit for purpose. These include 6061-T6 aluminum frames and balustrades for strength and durability, structural steel support legs for high load capacities, GRP grating walking surface for a high coefficient of friction along with durability and resistance to heavy use and harsh elements, and uPVC handrails for durable color, comfort for the user, and extreme weather resistance.

A monthly check should be completed to ensure basic functionality, such as tight connections, secure floor panels, and stable legs. An annual check should look at the ramp in more detail for items such as damaged frames or balustrades.

Compliance to regulation provides safety for an accessible route, so a modular ramp that is designed to meet these requirements “out of the box” minimizes the risk of a bad design. Grating is also critical for outdoor applications to prevent water or snow buildup.

Modular ramps are cost-effective and generally bring a consistent quality to your access problem. Straight ramps are the most direct way to address small elevation changes, provided you don’t need to change direction to accommodate the installation site.
