3.5. INSTALL A SINGLE RAMP OR RAMP RUN TO AN EXISTING STRUCTURE
If installing a ramp run to an existing landing other than a TITAN platform, such as a porch, deck, stairs,
etc., follow these steps:
Installing a ramp or ramp run to an existing structure requires a TRST (RAMP SUPPORT
TOP) and a TTP48 or TTP54 (TRANSITION PLATE 48” or 54”), depending on the ramp
width. Assemble and connect the ramp sections, connectors, legs, and feet as described
in the preceding sections, then install ramp support top and a transition top plate at the
upper end of the run as described in the ‘OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT’ section.
3.5.1. Maneuver the ramp to the desired position and place the transition top plate onto the
supporting surface (platform, porch, etc.).
3.5.1.1. Make sure as much of the transition top plate sits on the supporting surface
as possible, then level the transition top plate by adjusting the legs in the
ramp support top up or down as described previously.
3.5.2. The same method can be used if a ramp or ramp run begins at an existing structure.
3.6. ANCHOR RAMP TRANSITION PLATE
The TTP48 or TTP54 (TRANSITION PLATE 48” or 54”) must be anchored to a substantial surface. Use
the pre-drilled holes at each corner of the transition top plate as guides.
3.6.1. IF RESTING ON A WOODEN SURFACE:
3.6.1.1. Secure transition top plate by installing the 1/4″ x 1” long self-drilling screw
through each hole (fig. 3.11).
3.6.2. IF RESTING ON A CONCRETE SURFACE:
3.6.2.1. Using the transition top plate as a template, transfer the hole locations to
the concrete surface and note locations with marking device.
3.6.2.2. Remove transition top plate then, using a 1/4″ masonry bit, drill two 1-1/2″
deep holes at the marked locations.
After drilling, make sure holes are free of any residue and/or debris.
3.6.2.3. Re-attach the transition top plate and align over the drilled holes.
3.6.2.4. Using a hammer, drive the provided 1/4″ diameter mushroom head pin
drive anchors into the holes in the transition top plate and drilled holes,
until the head is seated flush with anchor body.
