All New Jersey properties will need wheelchair ramps that meet New Jersey Accessibility Code 2009 standards. Section 405 of the code has various specifics for properties in the Garden State to follow. REDD Team can help you build aluminum wheelchair ramps that meet all these rules.
We have experience developing ramps for various states, and we respect how the rules for wheelchair ramps can vary by location. We understand the distinct rules New Jersey has for ramps, and we’ll be ready to build a ramp that meets the state’s requirements.
It’s easy for us to build state-specific ramps because we use aluminum materials that are easier to measure, shape, and cut for ramps. We also prefabricate all ramps here in the United States before shipping them to our clients for them to assemble. Our process works with each specific client’s demands, which can vary by building and state rules.
What Rules Do We Follow?
Our workers at REDD Team will follow various rules when building an aluminum wheelchair ramp for a New Jersey property:
- All ramps will have a slope from 1:20 to 1:12. A slope as steep as 1:8 can work if the ramp has a short rise and it would be impossible to get to a 1:12 slope.
- The floor surface must feature a non-slip design that keeps the user from risking harm when going over the ramp.
- The clear width of the ramp should be at least 36 inches between the handrails.
- A ramp run can have a rise of up to 30 inches. For cases where the ramp has to go higher than 30 inches, you’ll require a landing in the middle.
- The landing at the midway point of a ramp run will be at least 60 inches long and as wide as the rest of the ramp.
- The top and bottom parts of the ramp also need 60-inch landings.
- Any spot with a turn on the ramp also needs a landing, but this one is 60 inches on each side.
These thorough rules for ramps in New Jersey properties include many specifics, and we at REDD Team can work around all of them.
Don’t Forget the Handrails
We can also build handrails you can assemble alongside your ramp based on various rules in Section 505 of the state Accessibility Code:
- The handrail should be from 34 to 38 inches off the ground.
- The height of the handrail should be consistent throughout its entire build.
- There should be a clearance of at least 1.5 inches between the inside part of a handrail and an adjacent wall.
- Extensions will also appear at the ends of each railing. The extension should go for at least 12 inches into the top and bottom landing.
All these terms for wheelchair ramps in New Jersey are critical to meet, and REDD Team is available to support them all.
