Liberty Series™ Ramp Installation Guide-Revision 8/1/2020
Thank you for your interest in the Liberty Series™ ramp. This installation manual will review everything you
need to know for a successful ramp installation. We have laid out step-by-step instructions as well as start-to-
finish guides for your reference.
This manual also overviews everything you need to know about conducting a successful evaluation and the
ADA guidelines we recommend your ramp follow.
Our 100% aluminum ramp is engineered and manufactured in the United States and has been designed with
your safety in mind.
Whether your ramp will be part of a short-term rehabilitation program or a long-term aging in place plan, the
Liberty SeriesTM will be there for you. It has been engineered to last a lifetime but designed to be removed with
minimal impact to your property.
Kind Regards,
Garth Walker
President/Managing Director, National Ramp

2. Guide to the Liberty Series™Installation Manual
We have designed this manual to be your complete ramp resource, from ramp terminology through
maintenance and care. If you are new to ramps, we encourage you to read this manual thoroughly
for a complete understanding of the entire process. If you are more familiar with ramps and looking
for a refresher, or the how-to of a specific component, please use the Table of Contents to guide you
to your answers.
The manual starts with a quick install guide, a top-level look at the Liberty Series™ installation process.
Then, a glossary of terms for the ramp process and an overview of the ramp safety guidelines laid
out by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
We review the process for conducting a successful evaluation, from determining the best layout for
the ramp user, to needed measurements, and completing a configuration.
The next section of the manual is an overview of the Liberty Series™ system.
The installation section has two parts. First, we go through the step-by-step installation of each
component to the ramp system, including “extras” your ramp layout may include, such as step
systems or cross bracing. Then, we illustrate how to install two common layouts from start-to-finish.
Lastly, we have a guide to the care and maintenance of the Liberty SeriesTM ramp, plus information
on how to register the warranty on your ramp and a special bonus!

3. Quick Install Guide
1. A high-quality evaluation greatly impacts the success of the ramp installation.
2. Double-check your components before leaving for a job site.
3. Confirm measurements at the site to make sure nothing has changed from the evaluation.
4. Lay your ramp sections and platforms where they will be going, with the handrails, legs, and
hardware next to them, ensuring all parts are present and in good condition.
5. Always start the installation at the top of the ramp, where it is entered from the house or dwelling.
6. Slide in your universal brackets for the handrails and legs.
7. Get a rough height of each leg for your first platform or ramp section, accounting for a door
swing, if applicable.
8. Install the handrails and set the leg heights based on measurements. Leave bolts loose for later
adjustments.
9. Lay the platform or ramp section into place.
10. Repeat steps 8-10 for the remainder of the ramp until you get to the last section before the
Bottom Transition Plate (BTP).
11. On the last ramp section, slide on the BTP before laying the last ramp section into place.
12. Once all platforms and ramp sections are in place, confirm the pitch is correct and the slope is the
same on all runs. If your slope is inconsistent, it will show up when all the handrails are tightened,
leading to a sag or drop o.
13. Starting at the top of the ramp and working your way down, connect all handrails and elbows,
tightening to stay in place. For some connections, you may need to cut the handrail tubing.
14. Install the Ramp and Platform Brackets, end loops, leg caps, and other miscellaneous items.
15. Lastly, do a final safety check to ensure all hardware is tight, and there are no exposed sharp
edges or burrs that could hurt someone.
If you’re experienced in ramp installation or looking for a refresher on installing the Liberty
Series™ ramp, this overview is for you.

4. Ramp Terminology
MODULAR RAMP a ramp composed of smaller sections and platforms that are assembled on site,
with handrails and toe guards.
RAMP SECTION a sloped piece of ramping.
RAMP PLATFORM a level section for turns, resting, or entering a ramp.
TURN PLATFORM a platform used to change direction, generally at 45° or 90°.
REST PLATFORM a 5’ level area that allows a self-ambulatory individual to rest. ADA
guidelines require a rest platform for every ramp run longer than 30’.
SWITCHBACK OR TURNBACK PLATFORM a combination of platforms used to change
the ramp direction by 180°.
START OF THE RAMP the entrance of the ramp from the dwelling.
END OF THE RAMP where the ramp is exited onto a hard level surface such as a sidewalk or
driveway.
RISE OF THE RAMP the elevation of the ramp as measured from the bottom of the door to where
the ramp will end.
LENGTH OF THE RAMP the distance between the start and end of the ramp.
SLOPE angle of the ramp.
RAMP RUN the horizontal length of ramping. This term can refer to the overall ramp length, or a
section of the layout comprised of one or more continuous ramp sections.
GRADE topography of the ground.
GRADE VARIATION the amount that a property changes in elevation across the length or width
of the ramp.
UPGRADE an upward slope of the ground, from the ramp’s start to its end. If the measured
height at the ramp’s ending is less than the measured height at the start, that property has
an upgrade.
Below is a list of commonly used terms that are helpful to understand for the ramp process.
[ 11 ]
Liberty Series™ Ramp Installation Guide-Revision 8/1/2020
DOWNGRADE a downward slope of the ground, from the ramp’s start to its end. If the
measured height at the ramp’s ending is greater than the measured height at the start,
that property has a downgrade.
CROSS SLOPE a change in slope that runs across the width of the ramp rather than the
length. Where there is a cross slope, the legs on each side of the ramp will be at dierent
heights to make sure the ramp is level across its width.
LANDING PAD a 5'x5'level surface used at the end of the ramp if a hard level surface does not
exist at the site.
LEGS supports for the ramp sections or platforms.
DUAL-LINE HANDRAIL handrail design featuring two handrails, one located on the top, and one in
the middle, that are parallel with the ramp’s travel surface.
VERTICAL PICKETS railing design with vertical pickets axed to the ramp instead of a dual-line
handrail. Some municipalities require picket handrails for all or part of the ramp system, depending
on height, and some consumers choose them for added security, especially when the ramp will be
used by children or animals.
THRESHOLD RAMP a ramp without handrails, used to provide a smooth transition over short
elevations, including door thresholds or steps.

LANDING PADRAMP BOTTOM TRANSITION PLATE (BTP)
A solid aluminum 5'x5' platform placed directly onto
the ground to provide a solid, level landing surface
when the ramp would otherwise end on soft ground.
The bottom transition plate is the landing area of the
ramp, allowing a smooth transition on and o the
ramp’s end. On a 36" wide ramp, the BTP is the last
foot of ramping, on a 48" wide bariatric ramp, the BTP
is two feet long.
RAMP SECTIONPLATFORM
The standard Liberty Series™ ramp section is 36” wide.
Liberty Series™ ramp sections can be installed level or
sloped.
Platforms oer a variety of uses as a level surface on
your ramp system. They can create a solid surface at
the start of the ramp, change the direction of the ramp,
navigate the ramp around a large obstacle, or provide
a level rest area.
PIE PLATFORMBARIATRIC RAMP SECTION
A platform to turn the ramp’s direction by 45°. Pie
platforms are named (left or right) for the direction the
ramp turns as you travel down the ramp from the ramp
start. Pictured is a right pie platform.
Liberty Series™ ramping is available in a 48" wide,
bariatric version, which has the same functionality as
the standard 36" wide ramping. Customers choose
bariatric ramping for mobility devices that are too
wide to fit on the standard ramping.
