Question:
How long should my wheelchair ramp be?
Answer:
DeterminingEstablish the incline that your chair is designed to climb. Take a look at your owners manual for exact recommendations. Measure the distance in inches from the top of the elevation you are trying to negotiate to the ground. This is the rise. The suggested the you will need will be the top column. The numbers represent a suggested length. You may need more or less depending on the situation.

ramp for every 1 inch of vertical rise.
