Question A question of gradient

Can anyone tell me the maximum slope (gradient) that an S76 can comfortably taxi up and down under its own power? I’m going to be asked this question in the next day or two and it’d be nice to have a definitive answer.

Due to a comedy of errors years ago we find our hangar 430mm above the height of the new apron currently under construction nearby and so will need to extend the joining taxiway to a suitable length to accommodate the maximum gradient.
