Step 1 - What Type? Step 2 - How Steep? | Angle | Height to width ratio | Uses | 14°  | 1:4 | Too steep for most applications. Acceptable in some cases for very short ramps or lightweight scooter vehicle loading. | 10°  | 1:6 | Acceptable in some cases for assisted access and powered wheelchairs. | 8°  | 1:8 | A good balance between gradient and space use, suited for events, etc. | 6°  | 1:10 | Will provide independent access for most wheelchair users if space allows. | 5°  | 1:12 | Often required by social services and authorities |
Remember "The longer the ramp, the easier the slope" Step 3 - How Long? a. Measure the step height / level difference. (Total height of steps, or height to resting point on vehicle) b. Use this Ramp Length Guide: Height difference
