How to Choose a Wheelchair Ramp

8 Foot Long Wheelchair Ramps

Eight 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 an eight 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 16 inches. If you plan on only transporting unoccupied wheelchairs or mobility scooters, they can be used with rises up to 24 inches. Most are portable to make it easier to provide assistance to individuals with disabilities in a variety of locations.

Wheelchair Ramps ADA Codes

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.

The ramp length must be one foot long for every one inch of step height (also known as the rise).
Turning areas must be flat and at least 60 inches in diameter with toe and knee clearance.
There must be enough space in front of doors, doorways and gates for wheelchairs and scooters to maneuver in front of them.
If a surface changes height by .5 inches or more over time, such as a shift in a concrete sidewalk, some type of ramp must be installed for access.
New commercial or public buildings have to adhere to ADA standards; older buildings might be exempt depending on their architectural layout.

For more in-depth information, please read ADA Specifications: Wheelchair Ramps.

Confirm the Length You Need

It's tempting to go for a larger size right away. To make sure you're selecting the most appropriate size, before you buy an eight-foot ramp take the time to measure out a few key areas:

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.
