INSTALLATION
A ramp mount requiring a face plate application is
used when there is no existing dock steel and the
concrete at the dock edge has been damaged. The
dock height can be low, high, or adequate for this
application, however, the face plate and ramp plate are
required to rebuild the damaged concrete edge.
Installation Steps:
1. Remove all existing bumper material and
protruding objects from dock edge. Clean and
sweep dock edge free of debris and flammable
chemicals before installing unit.
2. At chosen location for the face plate, locate the
center of space and mark a point half of the face
plate width to the left and right.
3. Using a proper lifting device, raise and position
the face plate to marked position, and push face
plate against dock face.
4. Top of face plate should be flush with the top
of dock floor. Mark center of holes in face plate
into dock face. Drill 5/8” dia. by 5” holes into
dock face. Install anchor bolts with washers per
manufacturers specifications and tighten securely.
5. Place ramp plate to match each end of the face
plate. Leading (forward) edge of ramp plate
should be flush with dock face.
6. Mark along full length of back edge of ramp plate.
Slide ramp forward the width of bushing tool,
approximately 2”.
7. Place bushing tool on marked line at each end
of ramp to ensure proper alignment at both
ends. A Skil Roto Hammer #736 or similar tool is
recommended.
8. Tack weld ramp to face plate on each end to
secure in place.
9. Using the back edge of the ramp plate as a guide,
groove concrete approximately 5/8” deep by 2”
wide, and should be the entire length of the lamp
plate.
10. Break tack welds and slide ramp back until
forward edge is flush with dock face. Tack weld
ramp on each end and center to face plate. Drill
5/8” dia. by 5” deep holes through ramp plate at
back edge. Install anchor bolts per manufacturers
specifications, and tighten securely. Weld anchor
bolt nuts to ramp plate using a 1/4” fillet weld all
the way around the nut. Cut off any portion of the
anchor bolt exposed through he nut, and plug
weld around the top of the nut to the anchor bolt.
Ensure the top of the nuts are well rounded for
smooth rollover.
11. Apply a continuous fillet weld at the created joint
between the face plate and ramp. Skip welding
should be the proper method used to avoid
warping, and a complete weld must be achieved.
