I could find this out with one phone call tomorrw, but I would like to try the system and I know someone out there knows it. What is the maximum wheel chair ramp angle permited? 2/10?
Thanks, Svenny

I'll try a post on the new system. 1 in 12 is minimum, 1 in 20 is recommended.
Pete, I was referring to a pre ADA suggestion that we used on a wheelchair users deck and entry ramp. We tried it out in his chair and you bet you gather some speed going down. Reminded me of the soap box derby. I guess I should check the ADA guidelines to see if it's addressed there.
