Section 1012 of the Ohio Building Code 2017 has multiple rules for how a wheelchair ramp can be installed in a school or any other public property in Ohio. These rules are thorough, but REDD Team will be ready to help you plan your new modular aluminum wheelchair ramps for schools in Ohio. We can help you plan a ramp that works for you while meeting all Ohio rules.
Our work will be straightforward, as many of Ohio’s rules are identical to what the ADA recommends for wheelchair ramps. These rules are designed to provide simple access while keeping those ramps from being too difficult for average wheelchair users to reach.
How Do You Get These Ramps Installed?
Modular aluminum wheelchair ramps are designed to be easy to assemble and take apart. You’ll require modular ramps to ensure the ramp can be made ready as necessary and removed and placed elsewhere when needed. This point is particularly critical for construction or renovation projects, plus it works for modular buildings that can be moved around on occasion.
REDD Team will help you plan new ramps that will fit your specific school site and be easy to install and remove. We prefabricate all parts for our ramps in the United States and ship all the necessary parts and installation materials for each ramp to our clients. You won’t have to get anything outside of what we provide when getting our ramps ready at your school. This feature ensures a smooth installation and removal process when needed.
How Does the Ramp Work?
REDD Team will build your ramps based on your needs. But you might not fully understand the Ohio Building Code rules for your ramp. REDD Team can provide corrections and guidance when planning your ramp to ensure that whatever you order fits all state rules.
The rules for ramps in Ohio schools are extensive. To start, ramps in Ohio must have a slope of 1:12 or flatter. Ramps with a rise of six inches or less can feature a slope of about 1:8, although this point is more for older properties where it would be challenging to prepare a 1:12 slope.
You’ve also got rules for how long a ramp can go. A ramp can feature a rise of up to 30 inches. The ramp can also go as far as 30 feet before adding a landing. Those landings on the ends and in the middle must also be at least 60 inches long.
The terms for getting a ramp ready are thorough, but REDD Team will be there to guide you through all these points. We’ll work around Ohio’s building rules and provide details on when you need to adjust your ramp to meet those codes.
