4.6. 45-DEGREE ANGLE PLATFORM HANDRAILS (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT)
4.6.1. There are two options for 45-degree Angle Platform handrails: Two-Line and Vertical Pickets.
The platform includes the handrail components needed for the option ordered.
4.6.2. Assembling either 45-degree Angle Platform Two-Line or Vertical Picket handrails should be
completed after all ramps and platforms have been set and the ramp handrails have been
installed. The ramps on both sides of the 45-degree 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 4.6.16 for Vertical Picket handrails.
4.6.3. After installing the ramp handrails, attach two Bolt-On Stub Rails to the ramp handrail posts on
the “short” side of the 45-degree Angle Platform. Center the 1-1/2” diameter tube of the Bolt-
On Stub Rail with respect to the ramp handrail lower rail and secure using a 1/4”-20 x 1” self-
drilling, self-tapping hex washer head screw (FIG. 4.12).
