Code Compliant Modular Access System Installation Manual
5.11. 5-FT WIDE RESTING PLATFORM
If the system includes 48” wide ramps centered on the 5’ side of a resting platform, a special
closure must be used to reduce the space between the ramp handrail frames and the platform
angle posts to less than 4”. If 48” wide ramps are placed to one side of a 5’ platform or a
platform wider than 5’ is being used as a resting platform, follow the instructions in sections 5.1
through 5.6 and treat as a standard closure. This special closure is not required for 54” wide
ramps centered on the 5’ side of a resting platform; skip to section 5.8.5 for all ramps other than
a 48” wide ramp.
5.11.1. Align the holes in a 1-1/2” square x 42-7/16” long closure post with the holes in a
platform angle post on the side adjacent to the ramp handrail frame. Attach the
posts together using 5/16”-18 x 2-1/4” hex bolts, 5/16”-18 locknuts, and 5/16”
washers oriented as shown (FIG 5.49) through the uppermost holes and the upper of
the two middle holes in the platform angle post.
5.11.2. Insert 1-1/2” square plugs into tops of 1-1/2” square closure posts (FIG. 5.49). Use a
rubber mallet or similar tool to fully seat as needed. If necessary, use construction
adhesive to bond the plug in place.
5.11.3. Repeat the procedure for all four corners of the platform.
5.11.4. Tighten all fasteners securely.
