To determine which ramp is the best one for your needs, begin by taking the height of the slope. Then, you should look for a ramp long enough to cover the entire length of this rise. A ramp for a six inch threshold will require a length of around a foot to provide an angle suitable for wheelchairs and mobility devices.

These guidelines state that wheelchair ramps should be a minimum of 12 inches long for every inch of rise they address, so ensure that the ramp you purchase will comply with this standard.

Portable ramps are best for those who just use the ramp for occasional visits to receive family and friends. However, if you're planning to rely on the ramp for daily use and want it to be solid and sturdy an installation that is permanent might be better.
