National Ramp New Vertical Pickets Quick Installation Guide 

Thank you for purchasing from National Ramp!  This quick installation guide will focus on the differences 
between a vertical picket handrail vs. dual rail handrail (Liberty/Breeze) install.  It is a prerequisite to 
understand how to install dual rail handrails on the Liberty or Breeze system before proceeding with this 
guide.  Please read through entire guide before installation. 
 

Tools Required: 

 

Tools required to install Liberty / Breeze system 

 

9/16” open end wrench (will be used for inside corner configurations)

Vertical Picket – Legs: 

 
What’s different? 

Dual Rail Handrail (Liberty/Breeze) 

New Vertical Picket Handrail 

Legs are fixed sizes and once piece.  

Leg channel and 

foot plate are one piece.

 

Vertical picket legs can be cut and customized.  

Leg 

channel and foot plate are 2 separate components.

  

Leg channel can be cut and installed into foot plate.  
The length is customizable due to potential 
interference with bottom rail of the vertical picket 
handrails. 

 

Instructions: 

1. 

Determine required leg sizes and cut leg 
channels to required lengths.  Top of leg should 
extend 3” from walking surface (2-3” for 
platforms, 3-4” for ramps sections).
