Code Compliant Modular Access System Installation Manual
3.2. INSTALL RAMPS ON PLATFORMS
3.2.1. The following will address attaching a ramp or ramp run to a platform. If the ramp
needs to be angled with respect to the platform or is going to be attached to an
existing porch, skip to ‘ANGLE RAMPS WITH RESPECT TO PLATFORMS, PORCHES OR
DECKS’ in this section.
3.2.2. Ramps are most commonly located toward either the left or right side of the platform.
However, they can also be centered. When centered and using a ‘TWO-LINE RAIL
CLOSURE’, a second closure must be ordered to connect the ramp and platform
handrails.
3.2.2.1. When the ramp is located toward the side of a platform, the outside of the
frame post should be aligned with the inside of the platform angle post.
When placing a ramp in other locations on a guarded platform,
custom components may be required.
3.2.3. Locate a RAMP HANGER PAIR and install both hangers in the platform side rail where the
ramp will be attached.
3.2.4. Hold the hanger perpendicular (approximately) to the platform side rail, then bring the
hanger upward until it is against the side rail lip. Rotate the hanger and continue
pushing upward in such a manner that the “hook″ at the top of the hanger goes
behind and catches on the lip in the top of the platform side rail and the hanger sits on
the ledge at the bottom (FIG. 3.4).
3.2.5. Set the ramp on the hangers. The hangers should be positioned as close as possible to
the ramp side rails (FIG. 3.5). The procedure is the same at both the top and bottom of
ramp runs which end at a platform unless a transition plate (installed in a later step) is
used.
Do not attempt to walk on system until installation is complete.
