How it works

  1. 1Run = 40 × 12 = 480 cm
  2. 2Segments = height ÷ 75 cm → 1
  3. 32 landings × 150 cm
  4. 4Handrails: required

Per GB 55019-2021 (mandatory): longitudinal slope ≤ 1:12 (1:10 only when height difference ≤ 150 mm), lateral slope ≤ 1:50; each run may rise at most 750 mm; clear width ≥ 1.20 m; landings at start/end and between runs ≥ 1.50 m long and as wide as the ramp.

Handrails on both sides are mandatory when height exceeds 300 mm with a slope steeper than 1:20. Cross slopes must not exceed 1:50 to keep wheelchairs from drifting.

Prefer 1:20 for self-propelled users; 1:12 still requires noticeable effort. Keep landings free of doors and obstacles.
