I don't know how the 2003 ramp was put together, but there are a whole bunch of screws in the materials list. My guess is, the carriage bolts hold the AL plate on and the structure is screwed together. Or, the structure is screwed together, and the carraige bolts are in a few places to allow easy takedown of the field.

However, aren't there better bolts than carriage for attaching something like that diamond plate?
