Part 2 – Overview
2.1 OVERVIEW
a. All PATHWAY 3G ramps and accessories shall be prefabricated modular units as manufactured by EZ-ACCESS. These
ramps shall be modular in design to allow for easy of assembly and relocation.
2.2 RAMPS
a. ENGINEERING
1. Ramp sections shall be designed to 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) with a minimum uniform live load
of 40 lbs. per square foot (PSF) and a concentrated vertical load of 300 lbs.
b. MATERIALS
1. Ramp sections shall be constructed using 6000 series aluminum alloy with 6061-T6 or 6005-T5 used for
structural components.
2. All structural fasteners which attach ramps together and handrails to ramps shall be of grade 5 strength or higher
and shall be zinc plated or zinc chromate finish.
c. DESIGN AND FABRICATION
1. PATHWAY 3G ramp units are to be built to shape, size, and finish as indicated on approved drawings.
2. Ramp surface is to be continuous, that is no gaps greater than ¼”, and shall have an extruded slip resistant
surface. Platform deck surface will be knurled to make slip resistance bi-directional.
3. Ramps shall be constructed of either interlocking 1.125” x 6” treads welded to side rails, or .5”-.125”
standard expanded metal (EM) welded to a tubular support frame which connects side rails.
4. All ramp sections shall have a 2” minimum curb height.
5. Top of all ramps must accept a full width pivoting top adapter plate with a minimum 3” extension with a
preformed angle between 8° and 12° with a slip resistant surface.
6. Bottom of all ramps must accept a full width pivoting bevel with a slip resistant surface from ramp to
ground transition.
7. All fasteners shall be captured either on outside of ramp or underneath.
8. There shall be no fasteners protruding into the inner usable ramp or curb surface.
2.3 PLATFORMS
a. ENGINEERING
1. Platforms sections shall be designed to 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) with a minimum uniform
live load of 40 lbs. per square foot (PSF) and a concentrated vertical load of 300 lbs.
b. MATERIALS
1. Platform sections shall be constructed using 6000 series aluminum alloy with 6061-T6 or 6005-T5 used for
structural components.
c. DESIGN AND FABRICATION
1. Platform units are to be built to shape, size, and finish as indicated on approved drawings.
2. Platform surface is to be continuous, that is no gaps greater than ¼”, and shall have an extruded slip
resistant surface, knurled to make slip resistance bi-directional.
