ADA OVERVIEW
EZ-ACCESS® manufactures ramps for residential use only and is not to be used for commercial
purposes. To ensure the highest quality and safety possible, EZ-ACCESS Modular ramps were
designed with the ADA specifications in mind.
Although not binding to personal residences, these standards should be taken into consideration
when purchasing a modul ar r am p.
WHERE DO MODULAR RAMPS FIT IN?
As it relates to ramps, the AD AAG specifies how steep (incline) a ramp must be, ramp width, handrail
design, etc. The EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY
®
Modular Ramp System was designed with the ADAAG
requirements in mind. Although a ramp system instal led at a pr ivate residence typically is not
obligated to meet ADAAG r equirements, by following these guidelines the end user is assured
acceptable levels of convenience, comfort, and safety :
4.8.1 GENERAL
Any part of an accessible rout e with a slope greater than 1:20 shal l be co nsidered a ramp and shall
comply with 4.8.
4.8.2 SLOPE AND RISE
The maximum slope of a ramp in new construc tion shall be 1:12. The maximum ris e f or any single
ramp run shall be 30-inch es (760 mm). Curb ra m ps and ramps to be constructed on ex isting sites or
in existing buildings or facilities shall be permitted to have slopes and rises provided spa ce l imitations
prohibit use of a 1:12 may hav e slopes and rises as follows (4.1.6):
1) A slope betw een 1:10 and 1:12 is allowed for a m aximum rise of 6-inches.
2) A slope betw een 1:8 and 1:10 is allowed for a max i mu m rise of 3-inches. A slope
steeper than 1:8 is not allowed.
4.8.3 CLEAR WIDTH
The minimum clear w idth of a ra mp shall be 36-inches (915 mm) (see FIG A).
4.8.4 LANDING
Ramps shall have level la ndi ngs ( platforms) at the bottom and top o f each ramp and each ramp
run. Landings shall have the foll ow ing features:
1) Landin g w idt h shall be at least as wide as the ramp run leading to it.
2) Landin g length shall be 60 inches (1525 mm) m inimum clear.
3) Ramps t hat change direction at landings (p latf orms) shall have a 5’x 5’ (1525 mm by
1525 mm) minimum landing (platfor m).
4) If a doorway is located at a landing (platfor m), t hen the area in front of the doorway
shall comply with 4.13.6.
4.13.6 MANE UV E RING C LEARANCES A T DOOR S
Minimum maneuvering cl earances at doors that are not aut omatic or power assisted shall
be as shown in FIG A. The floor or gr ound area within the require d cle ar ances shall be
level and clear.
4.8.5 HA NDRAILS
If a ramp run has a rise greater than 6-inches (150 mm) or a run great er t han 72-inches (1833 mm),
then it shall have handrail s on both sides. Handrails shall co m ply with 4.26 and have the following
features:
1) Handrails shall be provided along both s ide s of ramp segments. The inside handrail on
switchback (turn back plat form) or dogleg (turn platform) ramps shall always be continuous.
Page | 4
ADA OVERVIEW, CONT’D
2) If handrails are not continuous, they shall extend at least 12-inches (305 m m) beyond the
top and bottom of the ramp segment and shall be parallel with the f loor or gr ound surface
(see FIG A).
3) The clear space between the handrail and the wall shall be 1½-inches (38 mm).
4) Gripp ing s ur fa c es shall be continuous.
5) Top of handr ail gripping surface shal l be mou nted between 34” and 38” (865 mm and 965
mm) above ramp surfaces.
6) Ends of h andrails shall be either rounded or returned smoothly to floor, w all, or post.
7) Handrails shall not rotate within their f ittings.
4.8.6 CROS S SLOPE AND SURFACES
The cross slope of ramp surfac es shall be no greater than 1:50; ramp surf aces shall comply with 4.5:
4.5.1 GENERAL
Ground and floor surfaces along accessible routes and in acces s ib le rooms and spaces
including floors, walks, r amp s, stairs, and curb ramps, shall be sta ble, firm, slipresistant and comply with 4. 5.
4.8.7 EDGE PROTECTION
Ramps and landings (platf or m s) w it h dr op-offs shall have curbs, walls, r ai lin gs, or projecting surfaces
that prevent people from slipping off the ramp. Curbs shall be a minimum of 2-inches (50 mm) high
(see FIG A).
4.8.8 OUTDOOR CONDITIONS
Outdoor ramps and their approaches shall be designed so t hat water will not accumulate on walking
surfaces.

SITE EVALUATION
1) DISCUSS THE NEEDS OF THE CUSTOMER
Evaluate the ramp site and explain to your customer the guidelines relating to a 1:12 slope (12 inches of ramp
to one inch of rise, or 4.8°). There are times that a site may not allow for this incline; this and other
considerations need to be addressed for each site evaluation.
2) PICK A START AND END POINT FOR THE RAMP
What is the approximate workable area that the ramp system can occupy? For a wheelchair to transition
smoothly onto or off from the ramp, the top and bottom of the ramp should be placed on a firm, level surface.
Are platforms or landing pads needed? (Guidelines suggest a 5’ x 5’ maneuvering area, which can be either a
porch or platform.) Consider these variations:
CONNECTS TO EXISTING PORCH
A)
If the top of the ramp connects to a porch, account for the door swing and chair maneuvering room
(FIG B).
B) OVER AN EXISTING PORCH OR STEPS
If the platform is over an existing porch, be aware that the deck of the platform will be 3½-inches
higher than the surface of the porch or steps. If the door (or screen door) swings outward, the
platform will not allow the door to open. If this happens, two options are available:
i. A custom porch platform is available that adds only 1½” to the height of the porch surface.
ii. Mount the platform flush to the front edge of the porch.
C) DIRECTLY AGAINST A DOOR (WITHOUT PORCH)
If a platform used is directly against a door it is best to keep the platform surface even with the
doorway threshold.
IT IS RECOMMENDED NOT TO CONNECT A RAMP DIRECTLY TO A DOOR WITHOUT A LANDING.
D)
This does not allow safe maneuvering room to open the door.
3) IS THE PORCH WOOD OR CONCRETE?
The upper end of the ramp or platform must be attached to the porch. Fasteners are supplied that will attach
to either wood or concrete (a masonry bit or rotary
hammer will be necessary for the concrete fasteners).
4) MEASURE THE TOTAL RISE (see diagram at right)
A) The length of the ramp needed is determined by
the total rise (the vertical height of the area
requiring a ramp). The total rise is the difference
in height between the top of the steps or landing
and the ground. Using a builder’s level or tape
measure, determine the rise and keep in mind
that this measurement always includes door
thresholds, steps, and all slopes down to the
lowest area (uneven yard, etc.).
B) Once this height is determined, (i.e., 40” rise), measure out 40’ to see if there are additional drops or
difference in rise due to uneven yard, etc.
5) CONSIDER HANDRAILS
EZ-ACCESS, along with most regulatory agencies and building codes, recommends the use of handrails for
all modular ramps. A minimum of 1½” of outside clearance is needed for finger allowance (see ADA 4.8.5 for
additional information on handrails).
When handrails are attached, the overall outside width of the ramp is 43” (includes handrails as well as
supports). When measuring for the system, be sure to allow for 43”.
6) LOOK FOR OBSTACLES
Describe any porch railings, trees, shrubs, etc. that may interfere with the ramps, platforms, platform support
tubes, rails, and ramp support assemblies.
7) COMBINED LENGTH
What is the combined length of ramp system (NOT including platforms)?
8) DETERMINE SURFACE
What type of surface is at the bottom of the ramp? Is it level and suitable for wheelchair use?
