Editorial Review :

Extended Reach ramps offer the same convenience of Multi-Fold Ramps, but with an extended lip to help bridge the gap over large vehicle bumpers. All Harmar ramps utilize a unique non-skid metal surface with holes designed for excellent wet or dry grip. This superior surface offers improved traction; resists dirt and wear; reduces weight and allows water and other elements to drain, making Harmar ramps safer and more sure-footed for both indoor and outdoor use.

Question : in oregon what is the minimum slope for a wheelchair ramp?
my mother-in -law is wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life... I want to build her a ramp to allow her husband and 2 sons (they live in the same house) to let her enjoy the clean air and out-of-doors. Is there a recommended slope (inches per foot) for a wheelchair ramp NOT A HANDYCAMP RAMP? She is unable to propel herself but I feel She would bebefit from the air outside...

Answer:
I built handicap ramps for FEMA after Hurricane Katrina and the federal standard then was 1 inch per foot and after each 20ft a landing was to be made for resting whether or not electric or self propelled or someone else was pushing. That standard also went for those whom needing canes or crutches to walk also. Mind you ,now these ramps where built off a deck landing right beneath the door of either a mobile home or travel trailer,so if it was 40 inches from the ground to just below the door;you were looking at 40 ft ramp with the deck landing and the 20 ft rest landing that could be a minimum of 5ftx5FT we had to take into account the width of the chair and height of the person ;in case the rest landing had to make any turns in a different direction. Say perhaps easy access to automobile. We usually used 5/8 4x8 to run the ramp stilted with 2x4 with 15 inch gaps with 2x4 hand rails and floor guide boards.

Question : What is the proper rise for a wheelchair/scooter ramp.?
My porch is 26 inches high, I weigh 170 lbs, and the scooter probably weighs less than 200 lbs

Answer:
ADA requirements are a slope of 1" rise for every 12" of run. This makes for a huge ramp, in your case 26 feet long. That mild slope will allow a person in a wheelchair to make it up the slope unassisted. That being said, you may not need that much. Electric chairs and scooters will list the maximum slope they can handle for a given weight. Since this is personal property, you may not be required to adhear to ADA requirements. I built one here in CA to get into a trailer. We were able to use a 2 in 12 slope (which cuts the length in half). If you have the room, use the lower slope, but that just can't happen all the time. There are other requirements that need to be followed as well. Guard rails are required, and landings if the ramp must turn corners in order to get the length requred. As far as materials, concrete is always the best, but it can be made from wood (attaching the guard rail/ hand rail at the bottom is tricky).
