ADA Railing Requirements for Public Access Ramps
Height. Top of gripping surfaces of handrails shall be 34 inches (865 mm) minimum and 38 inches (965 mm) maximum vertically above walking surfaces, stair nosings, and ramp surfaces. Handrails shall be at a consistent height above walking surfaces, stair nosings, and ramp surfaces.
Clear Width. The clear width of a ramp run and, where handrails are provided, the clear width between handrails shall be 36 inches (915 mm) minimum.
Handrail Extensions. Handrail gripping surfaces shall extend beyond and in the same direction of stair flights and ramp runs in accordance with 505.10.
ADA Chapter 5 Section 505.10.1
Top and Bottom Extension at Ramps. Ramp handrails shall extend horizontally above the landing for 12 inches (305 mm) minimum beyond the top and bottom of ramp runs. Extensions shall return to a wall, guard, or the landing surface, or shall be continuous to the handrail of an adjacent ramp run.
A ramp is anything with a slope greater than or equal to 1:20. Handrails are required if the rise is greater than 6 inches.
ADA wheelchair ramps require that you extend the railing for 12 inches beyond the top and bottom of the ramp. Remember that the handrail height should be continuous throughout the length of the rail, so this will need to level out on both ends.
The handrail should extend in the same direction as the ramp, unless it’s a switchback, the gap is designed to gain access to a sitting area, or the extension would be hazardous.
All extensions should end into a wall, guard, or the landing surface. You may also connect it to another handrail on an adjacent stair, like with a switchback.
Wheelchair ramps have an additional requirement beyond stairs and that is the need to have edge protection. The purpose of this protection is to prevent wheelchairs and crutch tips from slipping off the surface. There are two ways to accomplish.
- You can install the handrail so that the edge of the ramp is 12 inches from the inside face of the handrail.
- You can provide a curb or a barrier that prevents a sphere of 4 inches from passing through anywhere the sphere can touch within 4 inches of the ramp surface. This can often look like adding a bottom rail to the handrail system or building a 4 inch concrete curb.
When designing your ADA wheelchair ramp, there are few extra things to be aware of. First, the slope should not exceed 1:12. There are exceptions if you are dealing with existing conditions, but it should never be more than 1:8. You should have a landing for every 30 inches in rise on your ramp. There is more to know and the ADA details these ramp requirements here.
