7. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
7.1. RAMP SUPPORT TOP
The PRST (RAMP SUPPORT TOP) provides supplemental support at the upper (or lower) end of
the ramp. When used, the support top replaces the PRHBPR (RAMP HANDRAIL END BRACKET
PAIR).
7.1.1. Attach top support brackets with two 5/16"-18 x 1-1/2" hex bolts and each 5/16" flat
washers (FIG. 7.1).
There is a “left” and “right” top support bracket but they can be installed on
either side of the ramp depending on whether they are used at the upper or
lower end of the ramp or ramp run. The two longer studs must be oriented
toward the end of the ramp regardless of the side where they are being
installed.
7.1.2. If used with a transition plate (upper or lower), the following steps are completed
after the ramp is resting on a supporting surface and transition plate is installed.
7.1.3. Install and level Support Leg Brackets on the two shorter studs of the top support
bracket in the same manner described in Section 3.3 (FIG. 7.2).
7.1.4. Locate the appropriate PRLxxPR (RAMP LEG PAIR where xx denotes the leg length) for
the location and install in the same manner described in Section 3.3 (FIG. 7.2).
If installing on soft soil it may be necessary to set the foot on a concrete pad.
7.1.5. Insert plugs into tops of the ramp legs.
7.1.6. Refer to previous sections for anchoring upper and lower transitions.
