4.7. ANCHOR RAMP UPPER TRANSITION
The PRUT (RAMP UPPER TRANSITION) must be anchored to a substantial surface. Use the pre-
drilled holes at each corner of the Ramp Upper Transition as guides.
4.7.1. IF RESTING ON A WOOD SURFACE:
4.7.1.1. Secure Ramp Upper Transition by installing the 1/4″ x 1” long self-drilling screw
through each hole (FIG. 4.16).
4.7.2. IF RESTING ON A CONCRETE SURFACE:
4.7.2.1. Using the Ramp Upper Transition as a template, transfer the hole locations to the
concrete surface and note locations with marking device.
4.7.2.2. Remove Ramp Upper Transition. Using a 1/4″ masonry bit, drill two 1-1/2″
deep holes at the marked locations. After drilling, make sure that the holes are
free of any residue and/or debris.
4.7.2.3. Re-attach the Ramp Upper Transition and align over the drilled holes.
4.7.2.4. Drive the 1/4″ diameter mushroom head pin drive anchors into the holes in the
Ramp Upper Transition with a hammer until the head is seated flush with anchor
body.

4.8. ANGLE RAMPS WITH RESPECT TO PLATFORMS, PORCHES, OR DECKS
There are situations where it is necessary to angle ramps with respect to a platform, porch, or
deck. If a ramp must be angled when attaching to a platform, a PRUT (RAMP UPPER TRANSITION),
which is included in all configurations that do not have a top platform, must be used instead of a
PRHP (RAMP HANGER PAIR). The same components can be used at the top and bottom of ramp or
ramp run.
4.8.1. Angles up to approximately 3-degrees can be accommodated using the Ramp Upper
Transition if it overlaps the surface of the platform, porch, or deck by at least 1” (FIG. 4.17).
4.8.2. The Ramp Upper Transition must be anchored to the landing. Use the provided 1/4″ x 1”
long self-drilling screws if anchoring to an aluminum platform.
4.8.3. Refer to SECTION 4.7 for anchoring to other surfaces.
It is owner and/or installer’s responsibility to use the appropriate anchor for the
Ramp Upper Transition. If the Ramp Upper Transition is being attached to a surface
other than an aluminum platform provided as part of the system, the appropriate
anchors may need to be purchased/used.
