Ramp Length & Load Height
It is crucial for you to know your load height. This guide should help you gauge how long a ramp you require. If you are still not sure, please call us on 01372 478960.
Load Height: This is the vertical measurement from the ground to where you rest the ramp onto.
Manual Wheelchairs:
Minimum recommended gradient: 1:6
Example: for a 1ft load height you'll need a 6ft long ramp.
Mobility Scooters:
Minimum recommended gradient: 1:8 (Ramp needs to be longer due to the low ground clearance)
Example: for a 1ft load height you'll need an 8ft long ramp.
