Platform Handrail Assembly                                 

 

 

1.

 

Before connecting the platform handrails to ramp 

handrails, you will first need to assemble the 

adjustable elbows.  

 

2.

 

Slide assembled elbow into upper platform handrail 

and secure with self-tapping screw. Repeat process for 

lower handrail as well.  

 

3.

 

Slide another elbow (#3) into upper ramp handrail but 

do not secure with screw yet. For lower handrail, you 

will first need to install a handrail starter bracket before 

sliding in the adjustable elbow (#4). The height of the 

handrail starter bracket should be matched to that of 

the other lower rails.   

 

4.

 

With adjustable elbows in place, installer must measure and cut provided 

tubing to fit tightly between the rails. Avoid leaning on either rail when 

measuring the tubing. To scribe a line, slide provided piece of tubing onto 

the upper elbow on the platform handrail. Position towards upper elbow 

on ramp handrail. Mark the tubing where it will 

need to be cut to fit properly. Repeat process 

for lower handrail.  

 

5.

 

Cut tubing to length. The inside and outside of 

the tubing will need to be deburred before 

installation.  

 

6.

 

Install cut-to-size tubing onto both upper 

adjustable elbows. Secure with 4 self-tapping 

screws. Repeat process for lower tube as well.
