2.4. 45° ANGLE PLATFORM
This platform is used between two ramps to make a 45-degree turn and features a symmetrical design,
making it usable in either direction.
2.4.1. There are two options for 45° Angle Platform handrails, Two-Line and Vertical Pickets.
The platform includes the handrail components needed for the option ordered.
Platform handrails are shown for clarity of how to orient platforms in various
configurations. It is strongly suggested that all platforms and ramps be installed
before installing handrails (see ‘HANDRAILS’ section).
2.4.2. Set platform on one of the sides where the ramp will attach and install legs and feet and
adjust height as described previously in this section. The two legs on the short side must
be installed in the orientation shown (FIG. 2.8)
Use “low profile foot for platform heights under 4”.
It is sometimes helpful to lay platform on its side when inserting the legs.
FIG. 2.8
2.4.3. Install ramps on both sides of the platform where there are no curbs. Refer to Section 3.2
for installing ramps on platforms and Section 4 for installing ramp handrails.
2.5. 8’ X 5’ TURN BACK PLATFORM
This platform is used to create a turn back (or switchback) instead of connecting two 5’ x 4’ platforms.
It includes two standard 5’ platform handrails and handrails for the 8’ side with a curb.
2.5.1. Install the support tubes and feet as described in the ‘INSTALL SUPPORT TUBES AND
FEET, THEN ADJUST PLATFORM HEIGHT’ section.
