Rev.No.Jan17/Rev3

To provide additional loading capacity to the cantilever bracket with cup then the bracket 

should be located 0.5m (1 cup in normal circumstances) below the platform level to allow 

diagonal face braces to be fitted as a raker.

Additional Horizontals (transoms) must be fitted below the existing platform adjacent to the 

cantilever bracket and also at the lift below where the diagonal face brace fits in the cup.

Note

  When using this arrangement, refer to design.
