Abstract
A support system is provided and includes first and second raised floor tiles, a ramp and sheeting. The ramp includes first and second edges and is disposable with the first edge adjacent to the first raised floor tile and the second edge adjacent to the second raised floor tile. The ramp has a substantially similar thickness as the first raised floor tile at the first edge and a different thickness from the second raised floor tile at the second edge. The sheeting is disposable on the second raised floor tile to abut the second edge of the ramp and has a thickness such that a combined thickness of the sheeting and the second raised floor tile is substantially similar to the thickness of the ramp at the second edge.
