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 to use a four foot ramp for personal use in your home, they do not need to adhere to ADA codes and can be used with occupied wheelchairs and mobility scooters on step heights up to six inches. 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.
Here are some of the ADA codes to which wheelchair ramps must adhere so that individuals with limited mobility are able to access commercial and public spaces. For more in-depth information, please read ADA Specifications: Wheelchair Ramps.
