CLOSURES
Closures fill the space between ramp handrails and platform posts. Like the ramp and platform handrails,
they are available in Two-Line, Single-Line, Vertical Pickets and Horizontal Pickets. As a standard, the
closures come with components which require the ramp to be mounted to one side or the other of a
platform but the ramp can also be centered or mounted in any location on a platform side except when
using the Vertical Picket closure (refer to Section 5.3). When centering the ramp or mounting in a location
other than the side, a second Two-Line, Single-Line or Horizontal Picket closure must be ordered and is
installed in the same manner as described below. When mounting to the side, the ramp handrail post
should be positioned 1-1/2” (minimum) to 2” from the inside of the platform post. For a Single Line closure
the steps in this section complete the installation.
5.1. If installing a closure on a platform in the “straight” configuration, the 2” x 2” angle post will already
be in place. Skip to 5.1.4
5.2. If installing on a platform in the “turn” configuration, install the 2” x 2” angle post not attached to a
platform handrail in the open platform corner pocket. Align the bottom of the post with the bottom
of the corner pocket and tighten the set screws securely (FIG. 5.1). Refer to Section 4.5 for addition
details on securing the post.
5.3. Install the angle cap on top of the post. Glue in place using construction adhesive as needed.
5.4. First install the top rail, the rail connecting the ramp handrail to the platform post.
This procedure is the same regardless of the style of closure. Insert an adjustable elbow in
the ramp handrail. Loosen the elbow assembly screws and position the round portion of
the adjustable elbow so it is aligned with the upper hole in the angle post and the face is
parallel to the post. Measure the gap between the face and the post (FIG. 5.2).
