Understanding the correct ramp length you need before you purchase is crucial to prevent any wheeled vehicle from getting stuck entering or exiting the ramp. Because ramps are what we do at Discount Ramps, we’ve created calculators to assist you with identifying the exact ramp length for your needs.

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.
