adjusting the Nuts at the top of the Ladder. Both methods are covered in the
installation instructions, shimming near the beginning of the install, adjusting towards
the end.
To estimate your Shim requirements, use a transit level and targets to check for flatness. Use the
provided Shims as necessary.
NOTICE Do not shim a Post more than half an inch using the provided Shims and Anchor Bolts.
A maximum shim of 2 inches is possible by ordering optional Shim Plates. Contact
BendPak at (800) 253-2363, extension 191 to order. Please have the model and
serial number of your Lift available.
• Concrete specifications. Do not install the Lift on cracked or defective concrete. Make sure
the concrete is at least 4.25 inches thick, 3,000 PSI, and cured for a minimum of 28 days.
⚠ CAUTION BendPak lifts are supplied with installation instructions and concrete anchors that
meet the criteria set by the American National Standard “Automotive Lifts – Safety
Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation”, ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011.
You are responsible for any special regional structural and/or seismic anchoring
requirements specified by any other agencies and/or codes such as the Uniform
Building Code (UBC) and/or International Building Code (IBC).
Be sure to check your floor for the possibility of it being a
post-tension slab
. In this case, you
must contact the building architect before drilling. Using ground penetrating radar may help you
find the tensioned steel.
⚠ WARNING Cutting through a tensioned cable can result in injury or death. Do not drill into a
post-tension slab unless the building architect confirms you are not going to hit
tensioned steel or you have located it using ground penetrating radar.
If colored
sheath comes up during drilling, stop drilling immediately
.
Unloading and Unpacking
Try to have the components of the Lift unloaded near the installation location.
Once the components are unloaded, they are your responsibility to move around. As the Lift includes a
number of heavy pieces, the closer you unload them to the installation location, the better off you are.
⚠ CAUTION Some Lift components are very heavy; if handled incorrectly, they can damage
materials like tile, sandstone, and brick. Try to handle the Lift components twice:
once when delivered and once when moved into position. You must have a Forklift
or Shop Crane to move them into position. Use care when moving them.
⚠ WARNING The Posts and Runways are delivered with stabilizing structures on each end. Be
very careful when removing these stabilizing structures; the Posts and Runways
can shift or even fall. If they fall on a person, they could cause serious injury.
