Ramp FAQ
What Makes a Wheelchair Ramp Safe?
The safety of a wheelchair ramp primarily depends on its design, materials, and installation. A safe ramp should be sturdy, slip-resistant, and have a non-skid surface to prevent accidents. Additionally, it should be installed on a flat surface free of debris, and the handrails should be at the correct height and in good condition.
How Long Should a Wheelchair Ramp Be?
The length of a wheelchair ramp is determined by the height of the surface it is attached to. Ideally, the slope should be as gradual as possible, with an eight-degree incline being optimal. For every inch of height, the ramp should be 12 inches long. For example, a ramp that is four feet high should be 48 feet long.
What Type of Ramp Material is Best?
The best material for a wheelchair ramp depends on the user's needs and the ramp's location. Aluminum ramps are popular because they are virtually maintenance-free, lightweight, and resistant to rust. Wood ramps offer a natural look and better grip but require regular upkeep. Steel ramps are a heavy-duty option suitable for areas with heavy traffic.
How Long Does it Take to Install a Wheelchair Ramp?
The installation time for a wheelchair ramp varies based on factors such as the material used, the ramp's size, and the complexity of the installation process. Ready-made ramps typically take less time to install, while custom-made ramps require more time. Generally, the installation process should take a few days, and the contractor should provide a clear timeline before starting the project.
How Much Does a Wheelchair Ramp Cost?
The cost of a wheelchair ramp depends on various factors, including its length, material, design, labor, and permits. Ready-made ramps are generally cheaper than custom-made ramps, but custom ramps offer more versatility. While the cost can be high for some people, it is crucial to invest in a high-quality ramp that meets the user’s needs and lasts for years.
