Installation Overview
Building Height Considerations
The following considerations address how the carriage will be placed onto the rails. The procedure for installation can
be found in the installation section of this manual. As stated before, you will need 2 forklifts to complete the installation.
• There are 2 possible scenarios for accommodating varying bay heights.
IDEAL HEIGHT SCENARIO: The ideal bay height for placing the carriage on the rails would be the height at
which the bottom of the head beams can be raised to the specified distance of 133’’ off the floor. This height
is found by measuring the height from the top of the forks on the forklift to the highest point on the forklift mast
and adding the 133’’. See the image below.
ALTERNATE SCENARIO: The forks may need to be flipped. If the forks need to be flipped, then the head
beams and rails need to be lifted to 48’’ and clamped to the legs before flipping the forks. See the image below.
• The clearance from the entrance or exit door to where the carriage slides onto the rails may be too small for
the carriage to fit.
Note: It is important to note that EITHER the entrance OR exit end of the bay can be used to place
the carriage on the rails.
• The clearance required to lift the carriage onto the frame with the forklift on the entrance side of the bay (the
distance from the end of the rails to the entrance wall) is 61’’ plus the width of the forklift mast. See the image
below.
• The clearance required to lift the carriage onto the frame with the forklift on the exit is 61’’ plus the width to the
furthest point on the exit arms. See the image below.
Note: The forklift considerations for the carriage are as follows: load weight of the carriage is
2,250 lbs., load is 136” wide, load center is 40”, and the load needs to be lifted 72” high.
