Tongue and Groove Design
All plaorms and ramps are manufactured with a tongue and groove design. This design is weight
bearing, therefore eliminang the need for addional bracing, brackets, and in many cases ramp
leg supports.
Our unique tongue and groove design oers the
ease of being able to connect plaorm to
plaorm (plaorms will always tongue and groove
when being paired together), plaorm to ramp,
ramp to ramp, and ramp to stop and rest by simply
placing the tongue (male end) into the groove
(female end). Both ramp and plaorm secons are
engineered with the tongue and groove located at
opposite ends of the secon. Ramp secons
specically, are engineered with the tongue being
located at the top and the groove being located at
the boom .

Plaorm Assembly
Our standard plaorm sizes are 5’ x 5’ and 5’ x 6’. Consult manufacturer for 4’ x 5’, 6’ x 6’, or any custom sizes.
Items needed for assembly: Plaorm, proper length supports (legs), TPCOM/TP, PHP, Impact wrench, tape measure,
level, 9/16” socket, 3/8” nut driver bit.
Building to Plaorm
1. Determine the plaorm height required for the locaon and choose the correct support length
2. Insert support through corner socket. Be sure to orient support where foot pad is facing toward the middle of the
plaorm except where ramp supports and plaorm supports may potenally meet. In this case the foot pads are to
face opposite direcons.
3. Secure support at approximate height using (1) .75” bolt —bolt holes are located on the side of the sockets, underneath
the outside edge of the plaorm. Ensure there is 10” minimum of support tubing extending above the walking surface
of the plaorm. The guard rails will slide over the extended supports tubing.
4. Posion plaorm in nal locaon with “groove” side facing the direcon of the rst ramp
secon or connecng plaorm, then make height and level adjustments as needed.
5. Check to conrm .75” bolts are secure in corner support sockets.
6. Assemble all plaorms and supports in this manner. Guard rails and hand rails will be installed aer all plaorms and
ramps are assembled and set.
7. Use a TPCOM (transion plate—commercial) or TP (transion plate) to connect the plaorm to the building threshold,
porch, or exisng surface using (2) #14 x 1” Tek Screws.
8. If securing other side TPCOM and/or TP to an aluminum or metal threshold—use (2) #14 x 1”. If the threshold is wood,
secure with wood screws (not oered in PHP). Use an L-bracket to secure the plaorm to the side of building if
fastening to the threshold isn’t an opon. The L-bracket is to be mounted underneath the plaorm and then secured to
the building using a lag bolt.
9. If securing TPCOM and/or TP to brick or concrete—use a 3/16” masonry bit to drill the necessary hole and secure using
concrete screws. Take cauon against securing TPCOM/TP to close to the edge of a concrete or brick surface. The
force of drilling holes or driving screws into the holes can crack the surface, causing damage.

Plaorm assembly gure page
Plaorm Assembly
Plaorm to Plaorm
Our standard plaorm to plaorm conguraons consist of [5’ x 5’ to 5’ x 5’], [5’ x 5’ to 5’ x 6’], [5’ x 6’ to 5’ x 6’]. Consult
manufacturer for 4’ x 5’, 6’ x 6’, or any needed custom sizes.
Items needed for assembly: See page on plaorm to building.
1. Determine the plaorm height required for the locaon and choose the correct support length. When connecng
plaorm to plaorm, generally there will already be a plaorm or ramp set to the correct height from which to base
the plaorm height being assembled. If not, see page on plaorm to building. Ensure there is 10” minimum of
support tubing extending above the walking surface of the plaorm.
2. Secure the supports of plaorm two at the approximate height of the already set plaorm one. To make the
connecon to plaorm one easier: Secure the (2) supports on the “groove” side of plaorm two at the approximate
height of plaorm one. Then raise the (2) supports on the “tongue” side of plaorm two unl the foot pads are
touching the boom of the support sockets and lightly ghten. The raised supports will be lowered later.
3. Place the “tongue” side of plaorm two into the “groove” side of plaorm one. (Plaorm one will support plaorm
two. The “tongue” side supports on plaorm two will be lowered in the next step). Make height and level adjustments
as needed. Plaorm one and plaorm two need to be level and set at the same height.
4. Once plaorm two is level and set, loosen the (2) .75” support bolts on the “tongue” side of plaorm two, let the
support foot pads fall to the ground, reghten the (2) .75” support bolts, and the plaorm to plaorm connecon is
complete. Always conrm the support bolts in the plaorm corner pockets are secure.
5. Assemble all plaorms to plaorm and supports in this manner. Guard rails and hand rails will be installed aer all
plaorms and ramps are assembled and set.
All guard rails and hand rails will be installed aer all plaorms and ramps are assembled and set.
For quesons about what each part is and the purpose it serves, please see the plaorm and ramp
descripon page as well as the hardware package descripon page.

Ramp Assembly
Our standard ramp sizes are 2’, 3’, 4’, 5’, and 6’ secons. Ramps are available in 48” and 54” widths (clear width between
curbs). Consult manufacturer for custom widths beyond 54”. All of the ramp secons are welded to meet a 1:12 pitch.
Items needed for assembly depending on locaon of secon: Ramp secon, proper length supports, 14” inserts,
TT48, TPCOM, BPCOM, RHP, impact wrench, tape measure, level, 9/16” socket, 3/8” nut driver bit.
Exisng Landing/Deck/Porch to Ramp
1. Determine the ramp height required for the locaon and choose the correct support length. A ramp secon that
comes directly from an exisng landing will need (4) supports. Ensure there is 10” minimum of support tubing
extending above the support sockets. The guard rails will slide over the extended tubing.
2. Screw the .75” bolts into the support sockets located laterally on each side and both the top and boom of secon.
3. Insert supports into each socket, set at approximate 1:12 height and lightly ghten bolts. Always posion supports
where the long end of the foot pad is facing the boom (groove end) of the ramp secon.
4. Posion ramp secon in nal locaon with the “groove end” always at the boom. Make necessary slope adjustments,
level horizontally, and rmly secure .75” bolts.
5. Use a TPCOM to secure ramp secon to exisng landing in the same manner as securing a plaorm.
Plaorm to Ramp/Ramp to Plaorm
1. Assemble the ramp secon in the same manner as described above. If using a “tongue and groove” connecon with the
plaorm, the ramp secon will need (2) supports and (2) inserts.
2. Secure (2) supports in the boom ramp sockets (groove end) at the approximate height to meet a 1:12 slope and 14”
inserts into the top sockets (tongue end). The boom of the insert should be held ush with the boom of the ramp
socket while securing.
3. Place the “tongue” at the top of the ramp secon into the “groove” of the plaorm. The groove of the plaorm is
weight bearing and will support the weight of the top half of the ramp secon.
4. Posion top of ramp secon where the outside edge of the ramp tongue and plaorm groove are ush. The ramp
socket and corner plaorm socket should be aligned.
5. Make necessary 1:12 slope adjustments, level horizontally, and rmly secure .75” bolts.
6. Use (4) #14 x 1” Tek Screws to secure the ramp to the plaorm via BPCOM.
7. If the ramp secon is exing a plaorm on a non-groove side (standard side), the secon is considered a supporng
secon. A supporng secon will need (2) supports in the top sockets and (2) supports in the boom sockets. A BPCOM
will be used to secure the connecon between the plaorm and ramp.
8. When entering onto the standard side (non tongue and groove side) of a plaorm from a ramp secon, the ramp
“groove” should be ush with the surface of the plaorm. The boom of the ramp secon (groove end) will bu up
against the plaorm. The ramp socket and corner plaorm socket should be aligned. Use a BPCOM to secure the
plaorm to the ramp secon.

Ramp assembly gure page
Ramp Assembly
Ramp to Ramp/Ramp to Stop & Rest
1. Assemble ramps in the same manner as described above. Use (4) legs if the secon is a supporng secon; use (2) legs
and (2) 14” inserts if the secon is being supported by ”tongue and groove” design.
2. The lowest ramp secon will always “tongue and groove” with the upper secon of ramp.
3. Once the lower secon is connected to the upper previous secon, make necessary 1:12 slope adjustments, level
horizontally, and rmly secure .75” bolts.
4. When arriving at the last secon of ramp in the system, no supports will be used. (4) 14” inserts will be used in place of
supports. The boom of the secon will fall directly on the ground.
5. The TT48 (48” transion tread—12” deep x 1” high) will slide from the side onto the “groove” part of the boom of the
last secon of ramp. Center the TT48 with the last secon of ramp.
6. Assemble the stop & rest (level landing aer 30’ of run) like assembling a plaorm. The stop and rest will be treated like
a ramp secon in relaon to how a ramp secon “tongue and grooves”. At the top and boom.
All guard rails and hand rails will be installed aer all plaorms and ramps are assembled and set.
For quesons about what each part is and the purpose it serves, please see the plaorm and ramp
descripon page as well as the hardware package descripon page.
For proper installaon of guard rails, all ramp secon have to be set at a 1:12 slope.

Plaorm Guard Rails and Closures
Our standard plaorm 42” high picketed guard rail sizes: 63U (61-1/4”) Support to Stabilizer, 63S (63”) Support to Support
on any side, and 72S (72”) Support to Support only on the 6’ sides. Our standard 42” high picketed closure sizes: Support to
Stabilizer (12-11/16”) and Stabilizer to Stabilizer (11-3/16”). Consult manufacturer for 4’ x 5’, 6’ x 6’ or any custom guard
rails and closures. Plaorm guard rails will not have hand rail mounng holes. They will only have loop mounng holes.
Items needed for assembly: Proper length guard rails, proper closures, PHP, Impact wrench, 3/8” nut driver bit.
Plaorm Guard Rails
1. Determine the proper locaon for the 63U. The 63U is our universal guard rail and will t on any of the four plaorm
sides. Be mindful of the pre-drilled loop mounng holes located on the outside uprights. The loop holes will always
be on the end of the plaorm guard rail that connects to a ramp guard rail.
2. Slide one end of 63U (support to stabilizer) over one corner support unl it rest on top of the corner support socket and
allow the opposite end to rest on the surface of the plaorm. The end resng on the plaorm should be aligned with
the adjacent support. One side of the 63U will always slide over a 10” piece of support tubing that extends above the
walking surface of the plaorm and the other end will always rest on the plaorm. ***Never aempt to make a 63U
slide over two corner supports—it will not slide over them and the supports will have to be cut o in order to free up
the 63U.***
3. Mount (1) stabilizer (u-shaped piece in PHP) - solid side out—to the surface of the plaorm where the 63U end is
resng. Use a #14 x 1” Tek Screw to secure the stabilizer to the plaorm. Be careful when mounng this piece. Hold
secure while mounng to plaorm, as it can cut ngers and the hand if it starts spinning.
4. Place the end of the 63U opposite the rail over support end into the stabilizer. The 63U guard rail has been installed.
5. Determine the proper locaon for the 63S. The 63S can be installed on any side from “support to support”. Be mindful
of the pre-drilled loop mounng holes on the outside uprights. The loop holes will always be on the end of the
plaorm guard rail that connects to a ramp guard rail.
6. Slide the 63S “support over support” unl both ends rest on the top of the corner support sockets. The 63S has been
installed.
Addional screws, bolts, and nuts will be added later to secure rails in place.

11
Plaorm Guard Rails and Closures
Plaorm Closures
1. Which of the two closures is used will depend on whether the plaorm is a through plaorm, a plaorm turn, a 90°
plaorm, or a 180° turn back.
2. The 12-11/16” closure (larger closure out of the two—support to stabilizer installaon) will be used on all plaorm
opons. It always mounts to the plaorm by sliding one end over a corner support and placing the other end into a
stabilizer .
3. Slide one end of the larger closure over a corner support unl it rest on the top of the corner support socket. Let the
opposite end rest directly on the walking surface of the plaorm. The stabilizer end (end not over a corner support) of
the closure will align vercally with the ramp guard rail. The end not over the support (stabilizer end) of the larger
closure will aach to the plaorm via stabilizer.
4. Mount the (1) stabilizer on the surface of the plaorm—solid side out— and place the closure end opposite the support
into the stabilizer. For stabilizer install instrucon see #3 above. The larger closure (support to stabilizer), once
installed, should run from a corner support to a stabilizer, aligning vercally with exisng ramp guard rail.
5. The 11-3/16” closure (smaller closure—stabilizer to stabilizer) will be used on a 90° plaorm and potenally on custom
systems where needed.
6. Place the smaller (stabilizer to stabilizer) closure next to the exisng larger closure creang a 90° angle at the corner of
the plaorm where guard rails do not meet. Use this me to determine the proper locaon of the stabilizers. Remove
closure and mount (1) stabilizer to the surface of the plaorm next to the base of the exisng larger closure upright—
solid side out. Then mount (1) stabilizer to the surface of the plaorm in front of the base of the exisng ramp guard rail
upright—solid side out.
7. Place each end of the smaller closure into the stabilizers. The 90° closure installaon has now been completed.
Addional screws, bolts, and nuts will be added later to secure rails in place.
The pre-drilled holes located in middle part of the closures are hand rail bracket mounng holes.
The pre-drilled holes located only in the top poron of the closures main vercal posts will align with
the ramp guard rail holes.

12
Ramp Guard Rails
Our standard 42” high picketed ramp guard rail sizes: 2’, 3’, 4’, 5’, and 6’. We do not oer any length ramp guard rail outside
of the aforemenoned secons.
Items needed for assembly: Proper length guard rails and RHP.
1. Conrm that all ramp secons are set at a 1:12 slope before installing ramp guard rails. Ramp guard rails are welded at
a 1:12 slope to match the pre-welded slope of the ramp secons. If the ramp secons are not set at a 1:12 slope, the
guard rails will not properly slide over the supports and inserts. The guard rails will also get into a bind or will have to
much space between the ramp guard rail and plaorm guard rail, and the 5” bolts will not be long enough to secure
the two guard rails together if the ramp secons are not set at a 1:12 slope.
2. Determine the proper length guard rail based on the length of ramp secon being worked on.
3. Slide each vercal post at either end of the guard rail over the support tubing and/or insert extending 10” above the
ramp secon support sockets unl the guard rails rest directly on top of the ramp secon support socket.
4. Each secon of guard rail installed should align black cap to black and bolt hole to bolt hole with the previous guard rail.
5. Connue this procedure throughout the system unl all ramp secons have guard rails.
6. When installing the last secon of ramp guard rail, a right and le commercial loop will be installed on the inside
vercal post at the boom right and boom le part of the last secon of guard rail. Use the hand rail bracket
mounng hole to mount the commercial loop on the inside vercal post of the boom last secon of ramp guard rail.
Due to the ramp guard rails being welded at a 1:12 slope, they can only be installed one way. The
high end of the rail will always be posioned at the top of the ramp secon.
All ramp guard rails will come with pre-drilled hand rail bracket mounng holes located in the middle
poron of the rail vercal post.
Addional screws, bolts, and nuts will be added later to secure rails in place.

13
Loops, Brackets, & Hand Rails
Our commercial loops come in right handed and le handed units. The hand rail brackets come as single units and will all be
in one bag. Hand rails are available by the linear foot. Each ramp secon and closure secon will come with the proper
length to match that specic secon.
Items needed for assembly: Proper length hand rail, hand rail bracket, GBHP, 90H, RINSERT, right and le loops, LHPC,
impact wrench, 9/16” socket, 3/8” nut drive bit, #2 Phillips bit, and circular saw or reciprocang saw with metal cung
blade.
Installing Commercial Loops
Commercial loops will be installed on plaorm guard rails and the boom of the last secon of ramp guard rails.
1. Determine the proper handed unit that is to be installed and locate the bolt hole. The bolt hole for the loops will be at
the same height as the hand rail bracket bolt holes—approximately 28.5” from the base of the post.
2. Place the welded spacer located at the top inside of the loop post over the bolt hole in the guard rail. Place a 3/8” SS
washer on a 3/8” - 16—5” SS bolt and insert it into the loop post, through the spacer, through the guard rail post, unl
the threads sck out of the outside of the guard rail. Place a 3/8” SS washer over the threads and hand ghten with a
3/8” SS nut. The loop is to face outward away from the end of the ramp and is to face inward toward the middle of
the plaorm.
3. Mount a stabilizer to the ramp or plaorm guard rail at the same height as the spacer located at the boom of the loop.
The stabilizer should be facing outward where the spacer of the loop will t inside of the stabilizer. Use a #14 Tek Screw
to secure the boom loop spacer to the solid side of the stabilizer.

Loops, Brackets, & Hand Rails
Installing Hand Rail Brackets
1. Each ramp guard rail has one pre-drilled bracket bolt hole on the vercal post, located approximately 28.5” from the
base of the post. Plaorm guard rails will not have bracket bolt holes unless specied for a custom order. Although
the stop & rest is basically a plaorm, it will have (2) brackets mounted to the inside guard rail at each end of the
stop & rest—totaling (4) brackets.
2. Hold the hand rail bracket in place while threading a 3/8” - 16—2.5” SS bolt with washer through the bracket, through
the guard post unl the threads show on the outside of the post. Then hand ghten with washer and nut. Each ramp
secon will have (4) brackets per secon with the excepon of the boom/last secon of ramp. It will only get (2)
brackets. Remember the loops will be mounted to the last bolt holes on the boom half the last secon of ramp
guard rails.
3. Plaorm closures will also receive hand rail brackets. Turn back closures will get (1) bracket for one closure and (2)
brackets for the other closure. Through plaorm closures and turning plaorms will receive (2) brackets. 90° plaorm
closures will receive (3) brackets.
4. Repeat this procedure on each ramp secon and every closure unl all ramp guard rails and closures are equipped with
the proper amount of brackets.
Installing Hand Rails
Hand rail installaon always begins with the loops at the boom of the ramp and works up the system unl
complete.
1. Take (1) 5” aluminum insert and place (1) black O-ring in the middle. Then slide the insert into the top opening of the
loop. This loop to hand rail connecon is made only with the rst loops of the system.
2. Based o of the length of ramp secon, determine the length of handrail. Slide the hand rail over the insert that was
placed in the loop. Place other end of hand rail on top of hand rail bracket to help support while securing.
3. Place another insert with O-ring in the open end of the hand rail. Secure the handrail to the insert from the boom of
the hand rail with a Pan head Phillips Tek screw. Be sure to secure the pan head through the handrail and insert at
once. ALSO SECURE THE HAND RAIL TO THE BRACKET USING A PAN HEAD SCREW.
4. Slide the second piece of proper length hand rail over the insert and secure with pan head screw.
5. Repeat this procedure on both sides of every ramp secon. Always secure the hand rails to the brackets with a pan
head screw.
6. At the top of a ramp run the hand rail will be capped o where it meets a plaorm loop.
7. To create a 90° turn with the hand rail, use the aluminum elbow with insert at each corner. The insert will connect the
hand rail to the elbow and the elbow to the next piece of hand rail. Secure hand rail and elbow to insert with pan head
screw.
Always ensure all insert are secure and hand rails are securely fastened to

Final Hardware for Plaorms and Ramps and ASB’s
Items needed for assembly: Hardware that’s le from RHP & PHP, Impact wrench, 9/16” socket, 3/8” nut driver bit.
Final Plaorm Hardware
1. Slide (1) 3/8” - 16—5” SS bolt with (1) 3/8” washer through the bolt holes where the ramp guard rail end and plaorm
guard rail end meet. Secure with (1) 3/8” washer and nut. Hand ghten. A 5” bolt will always be used when connecng
guard rails end to end (Ramp guard rail to ramp guard rail / Ramp guard rail to plaorm guard rail / plarom guard
rail to ramp guard)
2. Slide (1) 3/8” - 16—4.5” SS bolt with (1) 3/8” SS washer through the bolt holes at corner of the plaorm guard rails
where 63U and the 63S meet to create a 90°. Secure the bolt in place with (1) 3/8” SS washer and nut. Hand ghten.
Always ensure the bolt threads are facing in toward the guard and not toward the outside of the plaorm.
3. Slide (1) 3/8” - 16—4.5” SS bolt with (1) 3/8” SS washer through the bolt holes where the closures meet to create a 90°,
where a closure meets a plaorm guard rail to create a 90°, and/or where a closure meets a ramp guard rail to create a
90°. Secure the bolt with washer at these aachment points with a 3/8” SS washer and nut. Hand ghten.
4. Repeat this process on every plaorm unl plaorm connecons are complete.
Final Ramp Hardware
1. Slide (1) 3/8” - 16—5” SS bolt with (1) SS washer through bolt holes from guard rail to guard rail. Secure with 3/8” SS
washer and nut. Hand ghten.
2. Repeat this process throughout the system unilaterally, unl each ramp guard rail is connected to the previous guard
rail.
Securing All Hardware
1. Start at the top of the system and use the impact wrench to secure all hand ghtened hardware. Throughout the enre
system
2. Place one hand over the bolt head and wrench down on the nut side with the impact wrench to securely
ghten the bolts to the system.
3. Conrm all ramp and plaorm .75” bolts are securely in place by using the impact wrench.
4. Use the impact wrench to secure (1) #14 Tek Screw in each support socket that has a leg support (exclude
inserts on ramp secons) The Tek Screw will be screwed into the small hole located on the outside wall of
the support sockets. Tek screw are to be used on ramp secon sockets and plaorm sockets. This will
ensure all supports are securely in place.
5. Secure (1) Tek Screw into the outside surface of every other vercal post, starng at the boom of the ramp
system. This will ensure all ramp and plaorm guard rails are securely in place.
ASB’s Installaon
1. Angle supports are used anywhere the rise of ramp or plaorm is above 30”. Aach using provided Tek
screws with angle facing the underside of the plaorm or ramp.
