Abstract: The present disclosure provides elbow assemblies for ramp and platform assemblies, and ramp and platform assemblies. The elbow assembly includes a first elbow sub-part that is configured to nest within a second elbow sub-part. The elbow assembly includes useful features, including structure that enables direct connection either to a tubular support member or a flat portion of a support member, and structure that provides a smooth transition between the first elbow sub-part and the second elbow sub-part at any angle within the range of motion.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a handrail system for a ramp assembly, the handrail system includes first and second handrail posts oriented substantially perpendicular to a ground surface, a handrail portion having first and second ends extending between the first and second handrail posts, wherein the handrail portion is substantially parallel to a ramping surface ramping from a first elevation to a second elevation at a grade, and first and second interfaces at the first and second ends of the handrail portion for interfacing with the first and second handrail posts. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, an adaptor is configured for a handrail portion.

Abstract: A platform interface includes a platform, a hanger, and a ramping section. The platform defines a slot. The hanger has a body with a first end and a second end, a flange outwardly extending from the body and having a flange lip, and a gap extending between the first end and the flange lip. The ramping section has a hook configured to engage the flange such that the platform supports the ramping section via the flange. The gap is sized to prevent rotation of the hanger relative to the platform when the first end of the hanger is engaged with the slot and the hook engages the flange.

Abstract: A handrail bracket for coupling a handrail to a portion of a ramp and/or platform assembly includes a first portion for coupling to a handrail system, and a second portion for supporting the handrail, the second portion being adjustably coupled to the first portion. A ramp and/or platform assembly includes a handrail system coupled to the decking system at an interface, wherein the handrail system includes a pivoting bracket for adjustable handrail alignment to substantially align a handrail with the grade of the decking system.
