4.8. 45° ANGLE PLATFORM HANDRAILS
4.8.1. 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.
Single-Line and Horizontal Picket handrail options are not available for the 45° Angle
Platform.
4.8.2. Assembling either 45° Angle Platform Two-Line or Vertical Pickets handrails should be
completed after all ramps and platforms have been set and the ramp handrails installed.
The ramps on both sides of the 45° Angle Platform should be set as close to the corner
pockets on the “long” side of the platform as possible. Refer to the following steps for
Two-Line handrails. Skip to 4.8.15 for Vertical Pickets handrails.
4.8.3. After installing the ramp handrails, attach two Bolt-On Stub Rails to the ramp handrail
posts on the “short” side of the 45° Angle Platform. Center the large hole in the Bolt-On
Stub Rail over the bolt and washer attaching the lower ramp handrail (or over the second
hole from the top if no rail is present) and secure using a 1/4”-20 x 1” hex washer head
self-drilling screw (FIG. 4.15).
