TIPS AND TRICKS
While ramp sections can be installed either level or at a slope, platforms should not be
installed at a slope. While a level platform is recommended, platforms may be set at an
angle of up to 1° to allow for rain runoff.
Do not fully tighten legs and handrails until all components are up, to allow for
adjustments.
Do not walk on the ramp until legs and handrails are fully tightened, and do not allow
anyone else to be on the ramp until it is finished and checked for safety.
Ramp slopes must be consistent within each ramp run. A ramp not installed at 4.8°
should have as consistent of a slope as possible across the entire ramp.
