Chapter 10: 6 x 6 Distributor Platforms
This assembly is designed to be located at any elevation on trunking that is 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 chart as shown in
Figure 10A .
42" Platform Clamps
Locate all clamp halves (DSP42007), clamp brackets (DSP42006), threaded rods (DSP42008) 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 in
Figure 10A for hardware orientation.
Attach one clamp half to the end of each platform support channel using 5/8" hardware in the top and
bottom holes of the bracket.
Insert rod through the middle hole in the brackets attached to the platform support channel. Fasten using
5/8" nut, 5/8" lock washer and two (2) flat washers.
Place brackets with support channels attached around trunking and fasten in place with clamp bracket
using 1/2" hardware.
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.
