Enter your step or porch height and we'll recommend the right ramp length.
Measure from the ground to the top of the highest step or landing.
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.
| Slope | Incline | Safe 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.
The American Access Hero Threshold Ramp is a lightweight, modular aluminum ramp designed to bridge doorways, sliding glass doors, and raised landings from 1" to 6.5" in height. Built for wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, and rollators, the Hero combines an 800 lb weight capacity with an anodized non-skid surface that meets NFSI standards for wet static coefficient of friction. Available in six rise heights to fit residential and commercial thresholds.
The Hero is a standalone, portable threshold ramp that assembles in minutes. The tongue-and-groove design lets the starter plank, main planks, and support legs slide together along pre-engineered grooves. Pre-drilled holes and included Phillips-head screws complete the assembly. No professional installation is required for most home applications.
Manufactured from high-grade aluminum, the Hero is built for indoor and outdoor use. The anodized finish resists corrosion, fading, and weather exposure, making the ramp suitable for entryways, patios, garages, sheds, and commercial doorways. The aluminum construction requires little to no ongoing maintenance.
The combination of anodized aluminum and a specialized non-skid surface treatment helps the Hero exceed NFSI requirements for wet static coefficient of friction on hard flooring. This translates to:
