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)

1. 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
2. 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.
3. 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
4. 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
