2.6.6. INSTALL LOW PROFILE PLATFORM HANDRAILS
2.6.6.1. Handrail assembly for low profile platforms is the same as standard platforms.
Refer to ‘HANDRAILS’ and assemble for desired configuration.
The only installation difference between low profile platforms and
standard platforms is where the handrail inserts into the platform corner
pockets. On the low profile platform, both handrail set screws are above
the platform walking surface (FIG. 2.15) instead of having one
underneath the deck as they are on a standard platform.
2.6.6.2. Tighten two set screws per handrail post on the inside of each corner pocket.

2.6.7. INSTALL LOW PROFILE GROUND TRANSITION OR BRIDGE TRANSITION
2.6.7.1. Low profile ground transitions for the 5’ side of the low profile platform are
available in four slope options:
•
1:6 slope at 59-1/8” x 7.32”
•
1:8 slope at 59-1/8” x 9.70”
•
1:10 slope at 59-1/8” x 11.95”
•
1:12 slope at 59-1/8” x 14.13”
Only use the 1:6 slope 59-1/8” x 7.32” low profile ground transition as
a bridge transition for the 5’ side of a low profile platform. A bridge
transition is a level transition from the low profile platform to another
level surface. The other slope options for the 5’ side of a low profile
platform are only for use as a transition from the low profile platform
to the ground.
