Ramp slopes
Ramp slopes
(OP)
I am looking for general guidelines for maximum slopes on vehicular ramps. I found a city standard that said 20% (not the city or state I live or work in). That seemed a little high to me. I have 3'3" I have to come down from(possibly more depending on the slope of the terrain where the ramp will meet existing grade). I am limited in the horizontal distance I can travel though. Any help would be appreciated.





RE: Ramp slopes
slope is limited by the vehicle size and type, length of ramp and the breakover angle at top and bottom of the ramp which causes high centering and bottoming out
ADA also has significantly more limitations on the slope
