8.5.2 Positioning

Use the dimensions given in section 7.4 from page 14 onwards as reference during the positioning of the ramp.

Position the base plate in the vehicle so that the outboard
edge is parallel with the rear of the vehicle.

Position the base plate as far as possible towards the
outside, while making sure this mounting position ensures
at least a 25mm gap between the ramp and the closed
doors.
Place the ramp temporarily over the base plate and
articulation pin or use the dimensions from section 7.4 to
verify.

Make sure that the platform can be deployed in work
position without interfering with the rear sill of the vehicle
floor, the bumper or other possible obstructions. Use the
provided bumper clearance dimensions in section 7.4 or
place the ramp frame over the base plate to verify the
position.

It is recommended that the pivot point of the ramp frame is located as close as possible to one of the chassis rails or a structural
element of the subframe to absorb the load of the platform while swung inboard or outboard.

If technically possible, it is recommended to mount the ramp in the center of the vehicle, but it can be installed in asymmetric
position as well. E.g. in function of the bolt positions and possibilities to mount flanges and nuts at the underside of the vehicle
floor, or simply on client’s request.

Use the center of the platform and not the center of the base as reference.(*)
