Installation Instructions
By following these instructions carefully, your new hoist
can be assembled quickly to give safe, smooth and
efficient operation and an extended, trouble-free life.
1. The hoist must be installed under cover on a flat
concrete floor of minimum tensile strength Grade 25
MPa and minimum thickness 100 mm with at least
one layer of F72 reinforcing mesh. The hoist must
not be installed in a location where it is exposed to
the weather or explosive or flammable materials. If
the floor is not satisfactory, a new concrete base
with a minimum area of 3.7m x 1.6m will need to be
laid and allowed to cure for one month before
installing the hoist.
2. Install a mains isolator switch on a wall or column
next to where the hoist power column will be
situated. The power supply must be 415 V, 50 Hz,
rated to carry 15A full load current and 33A inrush.
The wiring must be 4 core plus earth and a minimum
7-strand, 2.5mm2 cross sectional area copper. For
long runs larger wiring may be required. The hoist
power supply must be free of voltage fluctuations
and spikes and must be protected by fuses or circuit
breakers.
Note: This must be done by a qualified electrician.
3. Unpack the hoist and place the base frames on the
floor in the desired position. (refer Fig. 1)
Check there is easy access for vehicles and a clear
600 mm wide gap around the hoist and vehicle for
operator access.
Check there is 3.9 m clearance overhead for the
hoist overhead crossbeam. Check there is sufficient
clearance overhead to prevent a collision with the
vehicle. If there is not sufficient clearance, the
installer and owner of the hoist must provide a
means of preventing a collision from occurring.
Inspect the floor where the eight hold-down bolts will
go. The hold-down bolts must not be installed within
200 mm of any edge, crack or other fastener in the
floor.
Note: Use lifting equipment or extra people to
lift and move the heavy items.
4. Stand the two columns up on the base frames. Bolt
the columns down using four M16 x 50 mm long
and four M10 x 35 mm long high tensile bolts.
Leave the M16 bolts undone about 4 mm (two
turns). Fully tighten the M10 bolts with a ring or
socket spanner, then tighten the M16 bolts fully
with a torque wrench to 200NM. (147 ft lbs)
Note: The bolts must be high tensile, identified by
the marking ‘8.8’ on the head of the bolts.
5. Attach the uprights to the back of the columns
using the M12 nuts and spring washer supplied
and fully tighten. (The upright with the limit switch
fitted goes on the drive column.)
6. Feed the wiring on the slave column up through
the upright & out the top.
Note: Check that the ends of the cables are
correctly labeled “Motor” “Proximity” and “Top Limit
Switch”.
7. Attach the overhead cross beam and trip bar
assembly to both uprights using the M6 bolts and
Nyloc nuts supplied. (This sets the correct distance
between the top of the columns).
Note: The trip bar is offset towards the drive
column end of the cross beam, So that it will operate
the limit switch on the upright.
The columns may need to be moved closer together
to allow the cross beam to reach.
Fit the M6 x 65L bolt from the bottom & fit the nut
on top to give a neat appearance. (Refer Fig. 5)
8. Move the base frames to the specified distance
apart. (Refer Fig. 1) Sight along both sides of each
column to check it is pointing towards the other
column.
9. Add shims under the base frames to set the correct
lean outwards and sideways on both columns and to
set both bases at the same height. (Shims are to be
placed at the hold down bolt holes). (Refer Fig. 1)
Measure the lean on the drive column and the
slave column using a plumb line. Each column
should lean outwards between 5 and 11 mm from
top to bottom. Sideways lean should be a
maximum of 5 mm off vertical.
Recheck the distance between the columns and the
squareness of the columns.
