3.7. ANGLE RAMPS WITH RESPECT TO PLATFORMS, PORCHES, OR DECKS
There are situations where it is necessary to angle ramps with respect to a platform, porch, or
deck. The components required are not normally included with a typical system unless it is a ramp
or ramp run without a platform. If a ramp must be angled when attaching to a platform, a TTP48
or TTP54 (TRANSITION PLATE 48” or 54”) with a TRST (RAMP SUPPORT TOP) must be used instead
of the TRHP (RAMP HANGER PAIR). The same components can be used at the top and bottom of
ramp or ramp runs.
3.7.1. Angles up to approximately 6° can be accommodated. Refer to the appropriate
sections in the ‘OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT’ section for installing TTP48 or TTP54
(TRANSITION PLATE 48” or 54”) and TRST (RAMP SUPPORT), and the previous
sections for installing and adjusting ramp support legs (FIG. 3.12).
3.7.2. The transition top plate should overlap the surface of the platform, porch, or deck
by at least 1”, regardless of the angle required (FIG. 3.12).
3.7.3. Anchor the transition top plate as described in SECTION 3.5.
3.7.4. Use the 1/4″ x 1” long self-drilling screw when attaching to a TITAN platform.
