Depending on where you intend to use your mobility ramp, the ramp length you need could differ. The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires a gentler slope for ramps installed in public areas and commercial spaces versus a ramp used in a private home.

In addition to loading height, the relationship between the equipment or vehicle’s ground clearance and wheelbase plays a crucial role in loading it up safely, whether it’s a lawn mower, hobby car, utility ATV or chopper. Because these larger vehicles are often heavy, long, and prone to high-centering, choosing the right ramp for the vehicle and the loading height is an absolute must.
Using a ramp with an appropriate length, compensating with an arched ramp that makes the incline gentler, can mean the difference between a safe load or serious damage and injury.
