Platform Assembly
Platform to Platform
Our standard platform to platform configurations consist of [5’ x 5’ to 5’ x 5’], [5’ x 5’ to 5’ x 6’], [5’ x 6’ to 5’ x 6’]. Consult
manufacturer for 4’ x 5’, 6’ x 6’, or any needed custom sizes.
Items needed for assembly:
See page on platform to building.
1. Determine the platform height required for the location and choose the correct support length.
When connecting
platform to platform, generally there will already be a platform or ramp set to the correct height from which to base
the platform height being assembled.
If not, see page on platform to building. Ensure there is 10” minimum of
support tubing extending above the walking surface of the platform.
2. Secure the supports of platform two at the approximate height of the already set platform one.
To make the
connection to platform one easier: Secure the (2) supports on the “groove” side of platform two at the approximate
height of platform one. Then raise the (2) supports on the “tongue” side of platform two until the foot pads are
touching the bottom of the support sockets and lightly tighten. The raised supports will be lowered later.
3. Place the “tongue” side of platform two into the “groove” side of platform one. (Platform one will support platform
two. The “tongue” side supports on platform two will be lowered in the next step).
Make height and level adjustments
as needed.
Platform one and platform two need to be level and set at the same height.
4. Once platform two is level and set, loosen the (2) .75” support bolts on the “tongue” side of platform two, let the
support foot pads fall to the ground, retighten the (2) .75” support bolts, and the platform to platform connection is
complete.
Always confirm the support bolts in the platform corner pockets are secure.
5. Assemble all platforms to platform and supports in this manner. Guard rails and hand rails will be installed after all
platforms and ramps are assembled and set.
All guard rails and hand rails will be installed after all platforms and ramps are assembled and set.
For questions about what each part is and the purpose it serves, please see the platform and ramp
description page as well as the hardware package description page.
