5.4.
PICKETED GUARD CLOSURE
5.4.1.
Picketed guard closures are specific to the platform size (5’, 6’, or 7’) and require the
ramp to be mounted to one side or the other of a platform. If the ramp is to be
placed anywhere other than the side of a platform, custom components will be
needed (consult your sales representative for the required components).
5.4.2.
Attach the picketed guard closure to the platform angle post.
5.4.2.1.
Upper Rail: Use 5/16”-18 x 1” long hex bolts and 5/16” flat washers to
attach the upper rail.
5.4.2.2.
Lower Rail: Use 5/16”-18 x 1” long hex bolt; do not use a flat washer at
this location (FIG. 5.13).
Picketed guard closures are symmetric so can be installed with either rail on
top. What becomes the “upper” or “lower” rail depends on how the closure is
positioned at installation.
