ANGLE RAMPS WITH RESPECT TO LANDINGS
There are situations where it is necessary to angle ramps with respect to a landing. The required
components are usually only included with a ramp or ramp run without a PATHWAY HD platform
(such as an existing landing or deck). If a ramp must be angled when attaching to a PATHWAY HD
platform, a 48”, 54”, or 60” TRANSITION PLATE with a RAMP SUPPORT TOP must be used instead of
the RAMP HANGER PAIR. The same components can be used at the top and bottom of a ramp or
ramp run.
3.7.1.
Angles up to approximately 6-degrees can be accommodated. Refer to the
appropriate sections in ‘OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT’ for installing a TRANSITION
PLATE 48”, 54” or 60” and RAMP SUPPORT TOP, and the previous sections for
installing and adjusting ramp support legs (FIG. 3.13).
3.7.2.
Make sure the transition plate overlaps the surface of the platform, porch or
deck, as much as possible, but never less than 1”, regardless of the angle
required (FIG. 3.12).
3.7.3.
Anchor the transition plate as described in ‘ANCHOR RAMP TRANSITION PLATE’
section.
3.7.4.
Use the
1/4″ x 1” long self
-drilling screw when attaching to a P
ATHWAY
HD
platform.
