Main Support Channels

When laying out the ladder, safety cage, and platforms be sure to always start from the head
service platform and work your way down the leg. Keep in mind a rest platform needs to be
located at every 30' of vertical descent to comply with O.S.H.A Standards.

Take time now and review all instructions and drawings before attempting to assemble the
platforms. Layout all parts for easy identification. Determine if your equipment is left or right hand
shaft. The support channels will mount in the same location for right hand or left hand drive
setup. The support channels will extend same distance on each side of the head. Start the head
service platform assembly by attaching two support channels to the head platform clips.
Use 3/8" x 1" bolts and whiz nuts (See Figure 4A).

The first step to assemble the rest platform is to attach the mounting channels to the tie angles
with 1/2" x 3/4" bolts and whiz nuts. For 16" & 24" special tie angles are in rest platform packages
(GECT1640FCRP) and must be mounted in place of standard tie angles.

Platform Clamps

This assembly is designed to be located at any elevation on trunking that’s needed to provide
access to other equipment. Determine elevation of platform surface and work from there. Locate
all parts required for assembly by using the charts shown in the following figures.

Locate all parts to assemble clamps onto the trunking. Measure the distance between the
clamps to assure proper location for support channels and knee brace attachment. Attach a
clamp half and support clip on one end of the support channel using 1/2" hardware. Next attach
the clamp rod weldment onto the clamp half using 1/2" nuts. Next place this assembly around
trunk and attach other clamp half and support clip using 1/2" hardware.

Note: When tightening clamps onto trunking, do not overtighten and collapse the

trunking.

Platform Clamps

This assembly is designed to be located at any elevation on trunking that’s needed to provide
access to other equipment. Determine elevation of platform surface and work from there. Locate
all parts required for assembly by using the charts shown in the following figures.

Locate all clamp halves, clamp brackets, threaded rods, and hardware to assemble clamps onto
the trunking. Measure the distance between the clamps to assure proper location for support
channels and knee brace attachment. See clamp detail for hardware orientation. Place 5/8" nuts
and lock washers on a threaded rod (one from each end). Place a clamp half on each end of the
rod and thread another nut and lock washer to hold clamp in place. Now place that assembly
around trunk and place a clamp bracket onto the opposite end of the clamp assembly and use
1/2" hardware to fasten parts together. Adjust the position of the inside nuts of the rod assembly
to allow the clamps to be tightened onto the trunking.

Note: Tighten clamps onto trunking, do not overtighten and collapse the trunking.

Position inside nuts back to the clamp and tighten.

holes on side of support channel and to the lower clamp. Before tightening hardware the support
channels must be perpendicular to the trunk, now tighten all hardware.The toeboards will not be
centered on trunking but should be offset to the ladder side. The platform is designed to work for
