With the notches in the sill extension cut
out, cap off the exposed ends and mount
the mounting plate, using the correct
mounting height as previously described.
It may be necessary to add customized
pieces to bolster the support of the
mounting plate on top or below the plate.
At this point, the lifter may stick out above
or beyond the extension sill. That is normal.
Note: The size and shape of the bumper
extension can vary depending on your
fabrication preferences. Perkins does offer
pre-made bumper extension kits, sold
separately:
CA1084 – single lifter, offset to the right
CA1085 – single lifter, center mounted
CA1086 – double lifter installation
Now we add the rest of the
supporting structure.
Like in the residential-only
install, it is necessary to bring
the load sill up to match to the
top of the mounting plate
and/or top of the bumper
extension.
Contact with commercial
containers can easily crush the
cart lifter. To protect it, install a
bumper extension over the
OEM-supplied sill extension.
The bumper should be sized
and positioned so that contact
with a commercial container is
not possible.
