HOIST INSTALLATION TO TRUCK CHASSIS
1. Place the SL-520X hoist assembly on the truck chassis. The truck chassis mounting surface
should be flat without any steps or protrusions. If necessary, shim bars need to be added to
ensure a flat surface on which to support hoist. It is advised to clamp the main frame of the
hoist to the truck chassis prior to install of the mount brackets.
The clear frame dimension indicated in Fig. A allows for the overall length of the hoist plus 5
inches for cab clearance and rear light bar mounting. Extra frame length may be needed to
allow for mounting additional accessories (e.g., Cab Guard, Tarper, Light Kit, Stabilizer,
etc.). For example, when mounting a light kit on a truck with a long CT, check that the hoist
and the light kit are positioned far enough back to eliminate any interference between the
fender and the light kit. You should also consider the final weight distribution regarding the
bridge code when positioning the hoist.
NOTE:
THE ABOVE SPECIFICATIONS ARE A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/
OPERATOR TO ENSURE THE COMPLETED CHASSIS MEETS OR EXCEEDS ALL FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL
REGULATIONS. ALSO, THE HOIST SHOULD NOT BE USED TO LIFT AND HAUL ANY LOAD THAT EXCEEDS THE LOAD
RATING OF ANY OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF THE COMPLETED CHASSIS (TIRES, AXLES, SUSPENSION,
ETC.)
2. There are two types of mount brackets used on the Model SL-520X hoist as indicated in Fig.
B and Pg. 5-8. They are the angle brackets (Pt. No. 77H19), and the mid brackets (Pt. No.
76H89). Bolt the mount brackets to the side of the hoist as indicated in Fig. B. Adjust
locations as necessary to miss chassis suspension, brackets, etc. When positioning the
brackets allow for mounting the control valve assembly and the hydraulic tank. You should
consult the truck chassis supplier for any limitations regarding drilling mount holes in the
truck chassis frame rails. Typically, the holes must be at least 2 3/4” from the top of the truck
chassis rails but may vary (reference Fig. C, D & E). Once the locations of the mount
