CORNER TURN CLOSURE 54-IN WIDE RAMP ON 5-FT X 5-FT PLATFORM
Because 54” wide ramps take up almost the entire platform side and the gap between the ramp
frame and the platform angle post is less than 4”, the special closure for 54” wide ramps installed
on a 5’ x 5’ platform is used for both two-line rails and picketed guards.
5.10.1.
Install the platform angle post (not attached to a platform) in the open platform
corner pocket. Align the bottom of the post with the bottom of the corner pocket and
tighten the set screws securely. Refer to ‘INSTALL TWO-LINE PLATFORM RAILS AND
PICKETED GUARDS’ section
for additional details on securing the post to corner
pocket.
5.10.2.
Attach the slotted leg of both angle post corner support brackets to the platform angle
post using a 5/16”-18 x 1” long hex bolt, 5/16”-18 nylon insert locknut, and 5/16” flat
washers oriented as shown. Either use the hole shown or field drill a 3/8” or 11/32”
hole between the two middle holes and the two upper holes (FIG. 5.46).
5.10.3.
Attach the legs of the angle post corner support brackets with the hole to the ramp
frame posts using a 5/16”-18 x 1-1/4” long self-drilling, self-tapping hex washer
head screws (FIG. 5.46).
