A modular ramp can be built to accommodate various sized steps or obstacles by choosing different lengths of ramp paths and platform widths. They can be arranged to fit into any space, allowing for an uninvolved and safe slope of up to 1:12 (the maximum slope height of ramps recommended by the ADA).
