Diagram showing where to measure rise height for ramp selection

Measure from the ground to the top of the highest step or landing.

10"
Or enter exact rise: in.
Recommended length (ADA 1:12)
10 ft. ≈ 4.8° incline8.3% grade
ADA maximum running slope
Occupied (1:6)with helper5 ft.
Unoccupied (1:4)no rider4 ft.

A 1:12 slope means 12 inches of ramp for every inch of rise. The bigger the second number, the gentler the climb. Gentler is always safer, so verify local building code before installing.

Why slope matters
SlopeInclineIntended Use
1:12≈4.8°Independent wheelchair use. The ADA standard.
1:6≈9.5°Steepest acceptable for an occupied chair or scooter, and only with a qualified helper.
1:4≈14°Unoccupied transport only, with no one riding.

Read the ratio as rise to length: 1:4 means every inch of rise needs 4 inches of ramp, so it climbs three times faster than 1:12. Some manufacturers write these same two slopes as 2:12 and 3:12, which are identical inclines in unreduced form.

Use the longest ramp your space allows and follow your equipment’s owner manual. A rise over 30 inches needs a landing or platform.

SafePath Shim Johnny Kit

The Shim-Johnny Kit raises the height of your BigHorn ramp when a door threshold or patio landing exceeds the ramp's standard 1-1/2" rise. It shims a BigHorn ramp up to 2" and is fully adjustable for any height below that, giving you a clean, flush transition against taller thresholds.

Each kit includes tapered shim strips with peel-and-stick backing. Measure your threshold height, trim the strips to the desired thickness with scissors or a utility knife, then space them evenly beneath the ramp. No fasteners or power tools required. All you need is a measuring tape and a utility knife.

Highlights:

  • Raises BigHorn ramp height up to 2"
  • Adjustable for any threshold under 2"
  • Peel-and-stick strips, no drilling
  • Trims to size with a standard utility knife
  • Pairs with any BigHorn recycled-plastic ramp

Please note: shimming a ramp above its standard height may affect compliance with model accessibility code requirements. Confirm local code requirements for your application.
