Wall Mount Ada Ramp Railing

They are required on both sides of stairs and ramps.

Wall mount ada ramp railing.

Handrails are not required on walking surfaces with running slopes less than 1 20. A lower railing is shown parallel to the ramp mounted no higher than 27 inches 685 mm above the ramp. The handrails on both sides have horizontal projections as above. Ramp handrails shall extend horizontally above the landing for 12 inches 305 mm minimum beyond the top and bottom of ramp runs.

Not only are fitting based handicap railings easy to install they are also corrosion resistant. A minimum of 36 inches 915 mm is provided between handrails. A handrail is required on stairs with two or more risers and ada ramps with a rise of 6 inches. The handicap ada railings are designed around a universal set of patented fittings that allow us to pre assemble full sets of ada compliant handicap accessibility railings for ramps and stairs.

Extensions shall return to a wall guard or the landing surface or shall be continuous to the handrail of an adjacent ramp run. Fitting based railings can last up to 7 times longer than standard welded handicap railings. This makes the handicap railing easy to install for a diy business owner or general contractor. The mid and bottom railing work to prevent a wheelchair from slipping out from under the railing when going up or down the ramp.

The second ramp second from top labeled wall shows a railing mounted on a solid wall. The railing starts at the base of the ramp and terminates into the brick wall at the top. It is ada compliant and the railing features a top handrail midrail and bottom rail. Figure 505 10 1 top and bottom handrail extension at ramps.
