Final Hardware for Platforms and Ramps and ASB’s
Items needed for assembly:
Hardware that’s left from
RHP & PHP, Impact wrench, 9/16” socket, 3/8” nut driver bit.
Final Platform Hardware
1. Slide (1) 3/8” - 16—5” SS bolt with (1) 3/8” washer through the bolt holes where the ramp guard rail end and platform
guard rail end meet. Secure with (1) 3/8” washer and nut. Hand tighten.
A 5” bolt will always be used when connecting
guard rails end to end (Ramp guard rail to ramp guard rail / Ramp guard rail to platform guard rail / platfrom guard
rail to ramp guard)
2. Slide (1) 3/8” - 16—4.5” SS bolt with (1) 3/8” SS washer through the bolt holes at corner of the platform guard rails
where 63U and the 63S meet to create a 90°. Secure the bolt in place with (1) 3/8” SS washer and nut. Hand tighten.
Always ensure the bolt threads are facing in toward the guard and not toward the outside of the platform.
3. Slide (1) 3/8” - 16—4.5” SS bolt with (1) 3/8” SS washer through the bolt holes where the closures meet to create a 90°,
where a closure meets a platform guard rail to create a 90°, and/or where a closure meets a ramp guard rail to create a
90°. Secure the bolt with washer at these attachment points with a 3/8” SS washer and nut. Hand tighten.
4. Repeat this process on every platform until platform connections are complete.
Final Ramp Hardware
1. Slide (1) 3/8” - 16—5” SS bolt with (1) SS washer through bolt holes from guard rail to guard rail. Secure with 3/8” SS
washer and nut. Hand tighten.
2. Repeat this process throughout the system unilaterally, until each ramp guard rail is connected to the previous guard
rail.
Securing All Hardware
1.
Start at the top of the system and use the impact wrench to secure all hand tightened hardware. Throughout the entire
system
2. Place one hand over the bolt head and wrench down on the nut side with the impact wrench to securely
tighten the bolts to the system.
3. Confirm all ramp and platform .75” bolts are securely in place by using the impact wrench.
4. Use the impact wrench to secure (1) #14 Tek Screw in each support socket that has a leg support (exclude
inserts on ramp sections)
The Tek Screw will be screwed into the small hole located on the outside wall of
the support sockets. Tek screw are to be used on ramp section sockets and platform sockets. This will
ensure all supports are securely in place.
5. Secure (1) Tek Screw into the outside surface of every other vertical post, starting at the bottom of the ramp
system.
This will ensure all ramp and platform guard rails are securely in place.
ASB’s Installation
1. Angle supports are used anywhere the rise of ramp or platform is above 30”. Attach using provided Tek
screws with angle facing the underside of the platform or ramp.
