7. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
7.1. RAMP SUPPORT
7.1.1. The PHDRST (RAMP SUPPORT) provides supplemental support at the upper or lower end
of a ramp. When used, the PHDRST (RAMP SUPPORT) replaces the PHDRHBPR (RAMP
HANDRAIL END BRACKET PAIR).
7.1.1.1. Attach the ramp supports with two each 5/16"-18 x 1-1/2" hex bolts and
5/16" flat washers (FIG. 7.1).
There is a “left” and “right” 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 which side they
are being installed.
7.1.1.2. Install support leg brackets on the two shorter studs of the ramp supports.
Support leg brackets are installed and adjusted in the same manner as the
ramp to ramp connector; refer to
SECTION
3.3.
7.1.1.3. Support legs are installed, attached, and braced in the same manner as other
ramp support legs. Refer to
SECTION
3.3 and complete the remaining steps.
7.1.1.4. If used with a PHDTP48 or PHDTP54 (RAMP TRANSITION PLATE) (optional –
see SECTION 7.2), it may be necessary to lift the end of the ramp or ramp run
to install the transition plate and adjust the height such that the transition
plate lays flat on the platform or landing.
7.1.1.5. Refer to SECTION 3.5 for anchoring ramp transition plate.
