There are several factors you need to consider when it comes to wheelchair ramp selection, They are: type, width, and length. Ramp Type There are basically two types of wheelchair ramps - permanent and portable. Wood or concrete ramps are more permanent structures with excellent stability and may be any length. They will cost as much as $150 per inch. Once put in place, a permanent ramp cannot be moved. Portable wheelchair ramps, like the ones we provide, are much more economical and versatile. You use it when and where you want. Portable ramps do have drawbacks. For example, they are less stable than permanent ramps. There is also a length limitation. When any ramp gets longer, it will weigh more and becomes less portable. Ramp Width Make sure your wheelchair or scooter fits within the ramp with some safety margin. If the ramp is to be used on the side door of your mini-size or full-size van, make sure you have enough door opening for the ramp. Please note that most of our ramps measure 29 1/2" in width. Ramp Length and Calculator  The minimum ramp length at a given rise (distance between top of step and ground) is determined by the maximum allowable incline of your chair or scooter (usually listed in the warning section of the user's manual). Most power wheelchairs and scooters have a maximum allowable incline of 6-9 degrees. Use the calculator below to calculate ramp length: Go to this page on our Command Mobility Website to use the calculator. Calculator   For your reference, handicapped access for public buildings in the US allows a maximum incline of 4.8 degrees for manual chairs and 7.1 degrees for power chairs per ADA (American Disability Act).
