ADA Ramp Landing Requirements

The minimum landing width between handrails is 36 inches. The minimum ramp landing length is 60 inches. If the ramp changes direction at a landing, the landing must have 60 inches clear width and 60 inches clear length. It does not matter if the ramp sections are narrower than 60 inches.

Truck ramps are created to make your move easier. Of course, not all trucks are created equally. U-Haul moving trucks with a lower deck height have E-Z Load Ramps® that are shorter, wider and more rigid making it 50% easier to use than other competitors' trucks.

Slow down when towing

Reduce your speed from what you would normally drive without a tow dolly under similar road conditions. The maximum speed is 55 mph when towing a U-Haul tow dolly. Do not exceed any posted speed limit.

Why is my U-Haul trailer swaying? ›

How Much Weight Does the Ramp Door Hold? Standard ramp door on an 8.5 wide hold roughly 4000 lbs of rolling weight. You can upgrade to the extra heavy duty 5000 lbs Super heavy duty 6000 lbs. The 6 & 7 wide trailer standard holds roughly 2000 lbs.

Manual wheelchair users don't have to worry too much as manual wheelchairs rarely weigh more than 40 lbs and most portable ramps will handle at least 500 lbs so if the user weight is less than 550 lbs there won't be an issue.
