Seven 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 seven inches. Alternatively, if you are looking to use a seven 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 14 inches. If you plan on only transporting unoccupied wheelchairs or mobility scooters, they can be used with rises up to 21 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 all wheelchair ramps must adhere so that individuals with limited mobility are able to access commercial and public spaces.
