Ramp Information -
Provides information on disabled access ramps Including recommendations from BS 8300:2001, Part M of current UK building regulations and legislation covered by the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA.)
If there is sufficient space in front of the building a permanent wheelchair ramp should be installed. The maximum gradient for fixed ramps should be no more than 1 in 12. If the length exceeds 2m a handrail on each side and a landing area should be provided. Ramps for wheelchairs should have a minimum clear width of 1m, and have 100mm high upstand to the edges. The handrails should be 900mm high, and extend 300mm beyond the ends of the ramp. At the top there should be a level area of 1200mm.
In many circumstances the installation of permanent wheelchair access ramps may be impossible. when this is the case we recommend buying removable portable wheelchair ramps, which when assisted use is provided can be used on gradients of 1 in 6
