Ramp Guard Rails
Our standard 42” high picketed ramp guard rail sizes: 2’, 3’, 4’, 5’, and 6’. We do not offer any length ramp guard rail outside
of the aforementioned sections.
Items needed for assembly:
Proper length guard rails and RHP.
1. Confirm that all ramp sections are set at a 1:12 slope before installing ramp guard rails.
Ramp guard rails are welded at
a 1:12 slope to match the pre-welded slope of the ramp sections. If the ramp sections are not set at a 1:12 slope, the
guard rails will not properly slide over the supports and inserts. The guard rails will also get into a bind or will have to
much space between the ramp guard rail and platform guard rail, and the 5” bolts will not be long enough to secure
the two guard rails together if the ramp sections are not set at a 1:12 slope.
2. Determine the proper length guard rail based on the length of ramp section being worked on.
3. Slide each vertical post at either end of the guard rail over the support tubing and/or insert extending 10” above the
ramp section support sockets until the guard rails rest directly on top of the ramp section support socket.
4. Each section of guard rail installed should align black cap to black and bolt hole to bolt hole with the previous guard rail.
5. Continue this procedure throughout the system until all ramp sections have guard rails.
6.
When installing the last section of ramp guard rail, a right and left commercial loop will be installed on the inside
vertical post at the bottom right and bottom left part of the last section of guard rail.
Use the hand rail bracket
mounting hole to mount the commercial loop on the inside vertical post of the bottom last section of ramp guard rail.
Due to the ramp guard rails being welded at a 1:12 slope, they can only be installed one way. The
high end of the rail will always be positioned at the top of the ramp section.
All ramp guard rails will come with pre-drilled hand rail bracket mounting holes located in the middle
portion of the rail vertical post.
Additional screws, bolts, and nuts will be added later to secure rails in place.
