How to Choose a Wheelchair Ramp

3 Foot Long Wheelchair Ramps

Three foot long mobility scooter ramps can be used in offices, apartment buildings, assisted living facilities, and other commercial locations as they are ADA-compliant for step heights up to three inches. Alternatively, if you are looking for a three-foot ramp for residential use they can be used with rises up to six inches because they do not need to adhere to ADA codes. If you plan on only transporting unoccupied wheelchairs or mobility scooters, they can be used with rises up to nine inches. Most are portable to make it easier to provide assistance to individuals with disabilities in a variety of locations.

What Step Heights Can I Use with Three-Foot Ramps?

Three-foot ramps can be used with step heights, or rises, up to three inches in a commercial setting, and up to six inches in a personal residence. If you plan on only transporting unoccupied wheelchairs or mobility scooters, they can be used with rises up to nine inches.

How to Determine Correct Ramp Length

Before you decide on a three-foot ramp, please take a moment to ensure that it will work with your intended space. Here are the factors to consider:

  • The rise, or height of the step you want to surmount.
  • The amount of space in front of the rise, as this might limit your ramp length.
  • The amount of space in front of the entryway, as this might limit your ability to turn.
