Important: Use the diagram below to determine if the selected site is suitable for the installation of the parallel lift rack.
The overall length of the standard lift, from front wheel stop to end of approach ramp is 19 feet-8-1/4 inches (6001 mm). With the Runway Extension, 20-702-1, the overall length is 21 feet 10 inches (6655 mm). Overall width of the lift is 6 feet 7-1/4 inches (2013 mm). The control console, which can be located on either side of the lift, is 17-1/2 inches (446 mm) wide and 15 inches (381 mm) deep.
A suggested minimum site for the standard lift is 26 feet 6 inches (8077 mm) by 13 feet (3962 mm). If runway extensions are included, the minimum must be 29 feet (8839 mm) by 13 feet (3962 mm). Under certain conditions, it may be used in a smaller area depending on existing equipment. Minimum concrete floor specifications are set at 3 inches (76 mm) deep with a 3000 PSI (20,685 kPa/ 206.86 Bar) rating.
NOTE: Floors that slope down more than 4 inches at front or 3 inches at rear between points A & B of the lift may cause approach ramp/vehicle clearance problems.
If these dimensions are exceeded, optional ramps, 20-629-1, may be required.
A minimum distance of 25 inches (635 mm) is recommended from the rear of the approach ramps to the door to allow for unobstructed operation. The runways move rearward 4-3/4 inches (121 mm) at the 30 inch (762 mm) alignment height, and 37-3/4 inches (959 mm) at full height. At full height, the edge of the pivot runway will be approximately 5 inches (127 mm) from the end of the approach ramp. If the 25 inch (635 mm) distance cannot be obtained, care must be taken when operating the lift with any long wheelbase or long rear overhang vehicle to prevent its contacting the door when the lift is fully raised.
The dimension shown for the distance from the front of the lift to the stationary instrumentation does not apply to mobile or rail mount instrumentation. The 31-3/4 inches (806 mm) must be held for Lite-A-Line units only.
The lift can be positioned any distance from a side wall with the only limitations being control console placement and working area between the lift and wall(s).
The control console may be installed to the left or right of the lift and may face the lift, face forward or face rearward. When facing the lift, the console may be positioned up to 36 inches (914 mm) from the lift. When facing front or rear, the console may be positioned up to 20 inches (508 mm) from the lift.
NOTE: When positioning the console, allow enough distance in the back to gain access to the pump and other items behind the rear cover. Other installation locations are possible with appropriate on-site modifications.
It is the customer's responsibility to furnish 208-230VAC, 1-PH, 20 AMP power for the control console. Recommended wire size is 10 gauge with a 20 AMP circuit breaker. The power supply must be within 10 feet of the control console. Insure that the proper power supply requirements are accessible and in place prior to lift rack installation. A permanent conduit is not necessary for installation at this time, but desired length and placement of wire routing should be considered.
Measure the selected site and record the dimensions in the boxes on the diagram. Compare these to the minimum dimensions shown. Any dimension less than the minimum should be brought to the customer's attention along with an explanation of any problems which could result.
Unloading Runway Assemblies
The parallel lift rack is shipped as 3 pallets:
Left hand runway assembly; weighing approximately 1700 lb. (771 kg)
Right hand runway assembly; weighing approximately 1700 lb. (771 kg)
Control console, approach ramps, channel beam and installation hardware; weighing approximately 750 lb. (340 kg)
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to remove the crating to unload the runways.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift or carry the runway assemblies without
the banding straps around the runway intact. The banding straps
hold the base and runway together when lifting.
I. Preferred method of unloading pallets from truck using car carrier/roll back vehicle.
Position the rear of the car carrier/roll back vehicle at rear of truck and raise the bed until it is even with truck (or as level as possible).
Loop cable from winch of roll back vehicle completely around one runway crate. Be sure cable is positioned in notches on crate.
Pull runway onto roll back vehicle using the winch.
Pull second runway onto roll back vehicle using same procedure.
Back roll back vehicle into installation area.
Carefully tilt bed of roll back vehicle to allow the crates to begin sliding to the floor.
After one end of runways is on the ground, ease the vehicle forward to slide the crates completely off the vehicle.
NOTE: Be certain that the rear of the roll back vehicle is lowered completely so the crates will not drop too far.
Reposition roll back vehicle at rear of truck and raise bed.
Loop cable from winch around pallet containing control console and additional parts.
Pull pallet onto roll back vehicle with winch.
Back roll back vehicle into installation area and lower bed to slide pallet off vehicle.
NOTE: The control console on the pallet must be kept in an upright position to avoid loss of hydraulic fluid.
II. Alternate method of unloading using an 8 foot (2438 mm)(from tailgate to boom) wrecker and tool kit #20-604-1:
Install the shouldered eyebolts, spacers and nuts to the runway at the locations shown.
Attach a leg of the 4 leg bridle sling to each of the eyebolts (see figure below).
Attach the sling loop to the wrecker boom.
Unload the runway.
Repeat the procedure to unload the other runway.
Unload remaining pallet.
NOTE: The control console on the pallet must be kept in an upright position to avoid loss of hydraulic fluid.
