The key requirements for ramps exceeding 1900mm in length are: 1:14 max gradient • slip resistant surface • appropriate handrails on both sides (refer to Handrails) page 8 • 1000mm minimum (min) unobstructed width between the • handrails 2000mm min overhead clearance • TGSIs installed at the top and bottom • over 9m long requires level landings of 1200mm min in length • every 9m To calculate 1:14, multiply the rise in meters (eg. 0.300m) by 14. In this case it would be: 0.300 x 14 = ramp 4.200m in length.
