INTRODUCTION:

SICO’s®ramp system is a modular system that is

designed to connect to any SICO®portable stage.

Modules are available with either 6” [15.2 cm] or 8”

[20.3 cm] height increments up to 72” [183 cm] high

to match the height or the range of heights of your

SICO®portable stage. The ramp system includes

the ramp surface, handrails and all hardware that is

required.

A typical ramp system consists of:

• A 0”-6” [0-15.2 cm] or a 0”-8” [0-20.3 cm] wedge

section;

• A 72-3/8” [184cm] or 96-3/8” [245 cm] bridge

section;

• One or more 72-3/8” [184 cm] or 96-3/8” [245 cm]

folding leg sections;

• Right hand and left hand handrails for each ramp

section;

• An upper clamp for connecting the top ramp

section to the stage or ramp landing;

• Optional caddy for storing the ramp system and

for transporting the ramp system between the

storage location and the stage location.

ADA requires that ramp runs be no more than 30 feet

[9.14m] long, so ramps higher than 30” [76cm] will

require one or more ramp landings or turnarounds.

Space considerations may require turnarounds on

lower ramp systems. Each landing or turnaround

requires additional guardrails, an upper and a lower

clamp assembly and may require enter and exit

handles, and a handrail U-turn.

A typical ramp turnaround, where direction of travel

changes by 180 degrees, consists of two 3’x8’ [0.9m

x 2.4m] folding leg platforms, but could be a single

6’x8’ [1.8m x 2.4m] SICO® 1800 Series or Tri-Height

portable stage. A typical ramp landing, where direc-

tion of travel does not change, could consist of any

4’x8’ [1.2m x 2.4m] SICO®portable stage. If a ramp

landing is at the same height as the main stage and

is different from the main stage, a landing to stage

connector will be required. Note that a 60” [152 cm]

turning circle is required when there is a change in

the direction of travel.

HANDLING YOUR SICO®RAMP

WHEN HANDLING YOUR RAMP, REMEMBER

TO:

1. Use two people to safely move and handle the ramp

sections.

2. To prevent injury, be careful to not drop ramp

sections. Damage to the ramp may also occur.

3. When setting up a ramp systems, always start at

the top end and work section by section toward the

bottom wedge section.

4. When taking a ramp system down, start at the

bottom (i.e., wedge) section.

5. Do not attempt to move ramp sections after they

are connected to the stage or other ramp sections.

PAGE 4

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

Detailed instructions begin on the next page.

1. Plan the layout of the portable stages and the ramp

system.

2. Set up the stage system. See the instructions

supplied with the stage.

3. If there is a top landing, set up the top landing and

install the landing to stage connector, if required.

4. Attach the upper clamp assembly to the landing or

stage.

5. Connect the tallest ramp section to the upper clamp

assembly. Note the legs of the folding leg ramp

sections are toward the bottom of the ramp section.

Connect additional ramp sections as required by the

ramp layout.

6. If a ramp landing or turnaround is included in the

layout, set up the landing or turnaround, attach a

lower clamp assembly to the landing or turnaround

and connect the landing or platform to the bottom

end of the ramp section.

7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 as required for the ramp

layout.

8. When only the bridge section and wedge section

are left to install, position the wedge section and

then connect the bridge section between the wedge

section and the lowest folding leg section.

9. Install handrails and guardrails.

The exibility designed

into your SICO®ramp

system makes it possible

to set the ramp system

up in many different con-

gurations, particularly

the longer ramp systems.

If you need assistance

with designing a ramp

conguration for your site,

please contact your SICO®

sales representative or

SICO’s®Customer Care

Department (see contact

information on last page).

A few examples are

illustrated here.

1. Straight ramp system

that connects to a ramp

landing or directly to a

stage section without any

changes in the direction

of travel. This option is

limited to a maximum

ramp height of 30" [76 cm]

per ADA requirements.

(See layout 1)

2. A ramp with a turn-

around. The upper end

of the uppermost ran run

may connect to a SICO®

ramp landing or a SICO®

portable stage unit. (See

layout 2)

3. Ramp systems

more than 60" [152cm]

high must have at least

two landings or turn-

arounds. (See layout 3)

Note that turns in the

opposite direction to what

is shown can be set up

with the same equipment.

PAGE 6

TOP LANDING INSTRUCTIONS

1. If the ramp will connect directly to the

stage without a separate landing, skip

this section and proceed to attaching the

upper clamp assembly.

2. If the top landing is the same type of

stage as the main stage units, set up the

landing unit and connect it to the main

stage units with the stage unit to unit

connectors; skip the rest of this section

and proceed to attaching the upper

clamp assembly.

3. If the top landing is a different type of

stage than the main stage units, a

landing to stage connector is required.

The width of this connector must match

the width of the landing edge that

connects to the main stage units.

4. Place the connector rmly against the

stage edge at the desired location.

Using the provided T-handle hex

wrench, tighten the socket head cap

screws for the two clamps directed

toward the main stage unit. Firm

pressure is needed to ensure the

connector is solidly attached to the

stage. Do not over tighten to prevent

damage to the stage.

5. Position the landing rmly against the

connector and tighten the screws for the

two clamps directed toward the landing.

UPPER CLAMP ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLED UPPER CLAMP ASSEMBLY

The upper clamp assembly provides a

secure attachment of the upper end of the

highest ramp section.

To attach the upper clamp assembly:

1. Place the upper clamp assembly

against the edge of the stage or ramp

landing with the top tubular member

rmly against the stage or landing.

2. Using the provided T-handle hex

wrench, tighten the two socket head

cap screws on the top of the clamp

assembly. Firm pressure is needed to

ensure the clamp is solidly attached.

Do not over tighten to prevent damage

to the stage or landing.

3. Disengage the two hitch pins from the

holes in the clamp assembly.

PAGE 8

ATTACH THE FIRST RAMP SECTION

Note: Use the optional SICO®caddies to

save time and effort.

1. Move the loaded ramp caddy to near

where the ramp section will be set up.

Lock the caddy casters to keep the

caddy from moving while unloading the

ramp sections.

2. Ramps with three or more sections will

have at least one section with folding

legs. The ramp section with the

longest legs is the rst section to install.

3. With the ramp section on the caddy,

release the leg brace locking pins by

rotating the two yellow handles until the

handles are perpendicular to the legs.

See Figure 1.

4. Partially extend the legs as shown in

Figure 2.

5. Rotate the yellow handles to their

original position.

6. Swing the legs fully out until both

locking pins engage in the leg braces.

7. While holding the ramp section in

place, lift the lock on the caddy to

release the deck.

See Figure 3.

8. Rotate the deck until one of the legs

contacts the oor.

9. With one person at each end of the

ramp section, pivot the ramp off the

caddy so that is rests on its legs and

the upper attachment brackets.

See Figure 4.

ATTACH THE FIRST RAMP SECTION (CONTINUED)

10. With a person on each side of the ramp, lift the

upper end of the ramp (i.e., the end without the

legs) so that it is slightly higher than the stage

or landing to which it will connect.

11. Pull the ramp section toward the upper clamp

until the ramp section brackets are against the

at plates of the upper clamp assembly.

12. Lower the ramp onto the support plate.

13. Secure the ramp in place using the hitch pins

that are part of the upper clamp assembly.

14. If the ramp is on an uneven oor, adjust the

glides to level the ramp as needed.

ATTACHING THE NEXT RAMP SECTION

1. If the next section is a ramp section with folding

legs (i.e., not a landing or turnaround or the bridge

ramp section or wedge ramp section), connect

the second ramp section to the bottom end of the

rst ramp section the same way the rst ramp

section was attached to the upper clamp.

2. Repeat this process until the next piece of the

ramp system is either the bridge section or a

landing or a turnaround.

3. If the next section of the ramp system is the bridge

section, skip the next section on turnarounds and

landings.

TURNAROUNDS AND LANDINGS

Landings and turnarounds are ADA requirements

for longer ramps systems. They are also used to

change the direction of travel as required to t

within the building’s dimensions; see the section

on planning the ramp layout.

1. Set up the stage unit(s) that will function as

the landing or turnaround at the desired

height. Refer to the operating manual

provided with that product for additional

information regarding that product. If two 3'

x 8' [0.91 x 2.44m] folding leg units serve as

the turnaround, connect them to each other

with the rotolocks.

2. Attach the lower clamp assembly to the edge

of the landing or turnaround where the upper

ramps sections will connect; the clamp

attaches the same way the upper clamp was

installed.

3. Attach an upper clamp assembly to the

edge of the landing or turnaround in the

location where the lower ramp sections will

connect to the landing or turnaround.

4. Move the landing or turnaround so the lower

clamp assembly is adjacent to the bottom

edge of the ramp section that has already

been set up.

5. If necessary, adjust the glides in the landing

or turnaround and the ramp section until the

heights match.
