General installation of rail systems
General installation of rail systems
1. Check all elements, lengths and bracket types against
the drawings of the rail system. Then spread out the rail
system on the floor and place the individual elements as
shown on the drawing in relation to the walls, the bed,
the toilet and other lifting points.
Positioning of general lifting points
• Beds 1000 mm (40") from the headboard
+ centre width
• Toilet 150 mm (6") from front edge
+ centre width
• Bath tub 600 mm (24") from the back end
+ centre width.
• Wheelchair middle of seat + room for carer
(approx. 1750 mm (70") lengthways)
• Changing table/
changing bed 900 mm (36")+ centre width
(unless otherwise specified)
2. Shape rails and curves according to precise measure-
ments. When shaping the rail it is important to remove
any irregularities. At the joining point of two rails, the
inner edges must be filed down to minimise wheel wear.
The track must be absolutely clean to prevent aluminium
chips from attaching themselves to the lifting module/
travelling trolley which will result in an unsmooth and
noisy operation.
3. Place two of the enclosed cylinder pins in the round
rail track on the side of the rail where the rails are
joined. The cylinder pin is enclosed with the rail
assembly bracket. First push the cylinder pins all the
way into one of the rail pieces. When the system has
been installed, push half of the pin into the other rail
piece to achieve a stable and complete rail assembly.
4. Fit the brackets. Depending on the type of bracket used,
this is done either with or without the rail.
5. The rail system, or parts hereof in case of a larger
system, is lifted up towards the bracket. Holding racks
can be used for holding the rail system against the
bracket, thereby facilitating the fitting.
6. When the rail system is pressed fully up against the
bracket, turn the T-bolts on the bracket so that the
chamfered edge is perpendicular to the rail. Tighten
the locking nut firmly.
Control after installation of a rail system:
The rail system must be level.
A load test of the complete rail system is carried out
with 1.5 x the max load.
