7.2. RAMP TRANSITION PLATE
7.2.1. The TTTP48 or TTTP54 - RAMP TRANSITION PLATE, in combination with a TRST - RAMP
SUPPORT, is commonly used to span wider gaps or accommodate angular misalignment
but can be used (with the TRST) instead of the TRHP (RAMP HANGER PAIR). It can also be
used when transitioning from a TITAN ramp to an existing porch or deck, or when
transitioning to the ground instead of the starter ramp in some situations. The ramp
transition plate can be used at either end of a ramp or ramp run.
7.2.2. Lift the end of the ramp and install the ramp transition plate as shown (FIG. 7.3).
7.2.3. If a ramp transition plate is resting on any type of raised area (i.e. a platform, deck, or
porch), it must be anchored. Refer to ‘

Intended to be used to bridge gaps up to a maximum of 6” between a platform and a porch or
deck. THE BROIDGEPLATE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS A RAMP OR ON AN INCLINE.
7.3.1. Securing to WOODEN SURFACE OR PLATFORM:
7.3.1.1. To secure to a wooden deck or platform, use the four supplied 1/4″ x 1″ self-
drilling self-tapping screws.
7.3.2. Securing to CONCRETE OR ASPHALT:
7.3.2.1. To secure to concrete or asphalt, drill a 1/4″ diameter hole at least 1 1/4″
deep. Ensure that all debris from the hole is removed using a shop vacuum,
blower or other suitable type of equipment.
7.3.2.2. Insert the four supplied pin head mushroom anchors and secure by using a
hammer to drive the pin in flush with the mushroom.
Use in the horizontal (flat) position only.
Ensure that at least 1” on each of the supporting edges of the plate is supported on a good,
sound construction surface that is free from defects (FIG 7.4).
