Loops, Brackets, & Hand Rails
Our commercial loops come in right handed and left handed units. The hand rail brackets come as single units and will all be
in one bag. Hand rails are available by the linear foot. Each ramp section and closure section will come with the proper
length to match that specific section.
Items needed for assembly:
Proper length hand rail, hand rail bracket, GBHP, 90H, RINSERT, right and left loops, LHPC,
impact wrench, 9/16” socket, 3/8” nut drive bit, #2 Phillips bit, and circular saw or reciprocating saw with metal cutting
blade.
Installing Commercial Loops
Commercial loops will be installed on platform guard rails and the bottom of the last section of ramp guard rails.
1. Determine the proper handed unit that is to be installed and locate the bolt hole.
The bolt hole for the loops will be at
the same height as the hand rail bracket bolt holes—approximately 28.5” from the base of the post.
2. Place the welded spacer located at the top inside of the loop post over the bolt hole in the guard rail. Place a 3/8” SS
washer on a 3/8” - 16—5” SS bolt and insert it into the loop post, through the spacer, through the guard rail post, until
the threads stick out of the outside of the guard rail. Place a 3/8” SS washer over the threads and hand tighten with a
3/8” SS nut.
The loop is to face outward away from the end of the
ramp and is to face inward toward the middle of
the platform.
3. Mount a stabilizer to the ramp or platform guard rail at the same height as the spacer located at the bottom of the loop.
The stabilizer should be facing outward where the spacer of the loop will fit inside of the stabilizer. Use a #14 Tek Screw
to secure the bottom loop spacer to the solid side of the stabilizer.
