Traverse Curbside Loading Ramp
with Optional Wheel Kit
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - RATED LOADS
RAMP LENGTH 4’, 6’, 8’, & 10’ 12’ & 14’
RATED LOAD
1,200 lbs. 850 lbs.
INSTALLATION
1. IMPORTANT: Install the optional EZ-ACCESS Traverse Wheel
Kit (PN: TRAVWK) prior to ramp use (instructions on reverse).
2. Read and follow all labels, instructions, and warnings prior to
assembly and use. For additional safety information, or to obtain
a copy of labels, instructions, and warnings, call 1-800-258-8503,
or visit www.ezaccess.com.
3. Place top lip transition plate of ramp on upper support surface
(top lip transition plate is the fixed end; the bottom of the ramp
has a self-adjusting bottom transition plate). Ensure that top lip
transition plate fully overlaps the supporting surface and that the
ramp is perpendicular (90°) to the edge of the support surface. If
obstructions prevent the top lip transition plate from fully
overlapping or being placed at 90° from support surface,
reposition ramp as required.
4. Ramp is equipped with a hook/strap safety attachment point
underneath the upper portion of ramp as a method of securing
ramp when in use (see FIG. 1). Use a strap, chain, or rope (not
supplied) to attach the ramp to a vehicle or other structure when
in use to prevent the top lip transition plate from slipping off the
supporting surface.
5. If the ramp is in a location that will not allow use of the hook/strap
safety attachment point, secure top lip transition plate of ramp to
supporting surface with clevis pins (or similar fasteners) to
prevent top lip transition plate from slipping when in use. Drill
two ¼” diameter holes through the top lip transition plate into
supporting surface to a depth of 1” (minimum). Secure top lip
transition plate by placing two ¼” x 1” clevis pins through the
drilled holes and into the supporting surface (see FIG. 1).
STORAGE
1. Ramp may be stored on its side or vertically on top lip
transition plate.
2. Do not store ramp on bottom transition plate as damage may
occur.
MAINTENANCE
1. Keep ramp surface clean and free of debris.
2. Clean any oil or grease immediately.
Clean ramp with mild detergent and warm water
(consult manufacturer before using abrasives or
chemical cleaners).
WARNING
Rated load: 1,200 lbs. for 4, 6, 8, & 10-FT lengths.Rated
load: 850 lbs. for 12 & 14-FT lengths. Do not exceed rated
load.
Do not drop ramp.
Do not use ramp if less than 3” of top lip transition plate is
overlapping support surface (see FIG. 1).
Avoid dragging ramp as this will rapidly wear the ramp and
shorten useful life.
Always exercise caution when using ramp.
Use only if both top lip transition plate and bottom transition
plate of ramp are supported by level, stable surfaces.
Use only if support surfaces are capable of supporting, at
minimum, the same loads as the ramp.
Use only if sufficient maneuvering room is available at both
ends of the ramp to assure that all loads will travel along the
ramp centerline when entering and exiting the ramp.
Ramp will conduct heat rapidly. Do not place on or near
open flame or hot objects as burns may result when using or
handling.
If ramp is exposed to heat, hot weather or direct sunlight,
use gloves when handling.
Ramps in subfreezing temperatures will readily freeze any
water that falls on the walking surface, thereby increasing
the risk of slipping.
Ramps reflect light. Use sunglasses, reposition ramp or
paint walking surface with flat-finish light grey metal primer
paint to minimize unsafe glare during use (use of darker
paint will increase heat build-up of ramp during hot and
sunny conditions).
Use only if ice, snow, wet leaves and/or other debris (that
may decrease traction and increase the risk of slipping)
have been removed from ramp.
Water on the ramp surface will decrease the traction and
increase the risk of slipping. Use extreme caution when wet.
When using ramp in wet conditions, reduce weight, limit
travel speed, and reduce ramp angle if possible.
If angle, load, or traction conditions are deemed unsafe, DO
NOT USE ramp!
Inspect ramp regularly for any damage, including bending
and cracked or broken welds. If any part of the ramp is
unstable, damaged, or defective, DO NOT USE!
Aluminum ramps will conduct electricity. Do not use or
handle around live wiring or during electrical storms.

Traverse Curbside Loading Ramp
with Optional Wheel Kit
INSTRUCTIONS
The EZ-ACCESS Traverse Wheel Kit (PN: TRAVWK) assists in the
handling of a ramp by allowing the ramp to roll in lieu of being carried.
Once installed in accordance with the instructions below, it is rated for
the weight of the ramp.
WARNING - RATED LOADS
RAMP LENGTH
4’, 6’, 8’, & 10’ 12’ & 14’
RATED LOAD 1,200 lbs. 850 lbs.
Install the EZ-ACCESS Traverse Wheel Kit prior to ramp use.
1. Turn ramp on its side.
The TRAVWK Assembly can be installed on either side.
2. Use a tape measure to locate the center of the ramp side rail,
and then mark the area using a felt tip marker, pencil, etc.
3. Install by roughly aligning the center of the TRAVWK to the
center of the ramp.
Center-to-center location of the TRAVWK to the ramp is
not critical for proper assembly.
4. Slide the wheel bracket under the hook of ramp’s side rail (as
shown in FIG. 2).
Ensure that the wheel bracket is firmly making contact
with the surfaces of the side rails.
5. Secure the TRAVWK to the ramp using the two supplied ¼” self
drilling/tapping fasteners.
WARNING
Rated load: 1,200 lbs. for 4, 6, 8, & 10-FT lengths. Rated load:
850 lbs. for 12 & 14-FT lengths. Do not exceed rated load.
Once assembled (as shown in FIG. 3), please refer to ramp's
instruction sheet for proper ramp use, safety guidelines, etc.
Do not roll ramp on uneven or sloped surface.
Use with care as the TRAVWK may cause ramp to be unsteady
while rolling or while stored on edge (always secure ramp while
storing).
Never leave ramp unattended when TRAVWK is in use.
