How Much Slope Should A Ramp Way Have? In relation to the length of the ramp, for short distances—up to 1.5 meters—the slope should be less than 12%. For distances of up to 3 meters it must be less than 10%, and for distances of up to 9 meters, it should be less than 8%,
How Do You Calculate The Angle Of A Wheelchair Ramp? slope[ratio] = rise : run. slope[angle] = arctan(rise/run) slope[%] = 100% * rise/run = 100% * tan(angle) What is the correct angle for a wheelchair ramp? The ADA provides good direction about ratios for wheelchair ramp slopes. The commercial and public facility standard for slope
