RBJ Series of Rolling Bridge Jacks 15 P/N 5900004 — June 2018 — Rev. C2
Moving the Rolling Bridge Jack into Position
Rolling Bridge Jacks need to be moved into position on the four-post Lift using a forklift, shop crane,
or other device appropriate for lifting heavy loads.
⚠ WARNING Pay close attention when moving the Rolling Bridge Jack off its shipping pallet; it
could shift and cause injury. Prior to removing the strapping or bolts, make sure the
Rolling Bridge Jack is held securely by a forklift, shop crane, or other device
appropriate for lifting heavy objects.
To move a Rolling Bridge Jack into position on a Lift:
1. Make sure the Lift is either fully lowered or on a Safety Lock.
2. If you are installing an RBJ18000 or RBJ25000, set the Runways to ~44 inches / 1130 mm apart.
For models with adjustable bases, set the Runways to the desired width apart.
3. Using a shop crane, forklift, or other lifting device, raise the Rolling Bridge Jack and orient it
between the Lift’s two runways.
Do not lower it onto the Utility Rail yet .
Remember to orient the Air-Operated Hydraulic Pump side appropriately: orient the Pump side of
the Jack towards the Crosstubes of the Lift (
not towards the inside
).
4. Lower the Rolling Bridge Jack to just above the Utility Rails between the Lift’s runways.
Do not
lower it onto the Utility Rails yet
.
5. For models with adjustable bases, adjust the bases to the correct width. For the RBJ18000 or
RBJ25000, adjust the Offside Runway to the correct width.
The correct width is where the Lip Roller is directly over the Utility Rail Lip or the Channel Roller is
directly over the Utility Rail Channel, depending on model.
This drawing shows the Channel Roller of a model with an adjustable base at the correct width,
directly over the Utility Rail Channel.
