Ramp Run Assembly                                               
 

1.

 

 Attach J-hook to the upper landing using the appropriate fasteners. The 
upper landing may be an existing structure or a Harmar platform.

 

 

2.

 

Installation Method #2:

 

a.

 

On flat ground, connect all ramp sections within a ramp run by way of 

the tongue and groove system.  
 

b.

 

Attach ramps together with two leg brackets at each joint. Installing legs 

at this point will create more drag when lifting the ramp and mounting 
to the J-Hook. They can be added once ramp is inclined and self-
supporting.  

 

c.

 

Install transition plate into bottom groove on the 

last section of the ramp run.  Avoid getting dirt 
or contaminants into connection. 

 

 

d.

 

Carefully lift the top of the ramp 

run and slide the entire run into 
the previously installed J-Hook. 
This should only be attempted 
with two technicians and an 
acceptable length of ramp.
 

 

 

 

 

 

TIP: The less friction, the lighter this will feel. Try sliding a furniture dolly under 

the bottom of the ramp to reduce friction as you lift and slide into position.
