How To Determine The Proper Ramp Length?
- Determine the incline that your chair is designed to climb.
- Measure the rise (distance from the top step, porch, van, etc. to the ground).
- Refer to Incline Chart to find the proper ramp length.
- At any incline, use the ramp only with a qualified helper
Note: Refer to your mobility equipment manufacturer for the proper degree of incline/decline and chair direction before attempting ramp use. Never exceed your mobility equipment manufacturer recommendations.

Fastening Ramp To Landing (All Ramps)
- Place the ramp top lip transition plate (identifiable by the two pre-drilled holes) so it extends onto the landing as far as possible. The ramp top lip transition plate must be fully supported by the landing
- If Resting on a wood landing
– Fasten the top lip transition plate by installing one 1/4″ x 1″ long self-drilling, stainless steel wood screw (not supplied) through each hole. - If Resting on a concrete landing
– Use the two pre-drilled holes in the top lip transition plate as a template to mark the positions on the concrete to drill
– Using a 1/4″ masonry bit, drill two holes at the previously marked locations. Drill to a depth specified by the pin drive anchor manufacturer’s instructions
– Align the top lip transition plate over the drilled holes
– Install 1/4″ x 1-1/2″ pin drive concrete anchors (not supplied) into the holes of the upper transition per the pin drive concrete anchor manufacturers instructions - Temporary installation
– Use the two pre-drilled holes in the top lip transition plate as a template to mark the positions and drill two 1/4″ holes at least 1-1/2″ deep.
– After drilling, make sure that the holes are free of any residue and/or debris
– Align drilled holes with holes in the ramp top lip transition plate, and then insert supplied clevis pins through each hole
Installing (Optional) Handrails
- Both handrail styles, two-line, and handrails with vertical pickets come pre-assembled. Regardless of the style, the process of attaching handrails to the ramp is the same
