Fairbanks 6020 Titan Series - Manual (Page 7)

a. Concrete Pier Installations:
1. Cut and position rebar into the form as per the schedule detailed on the certified
foundation prints supplied.
2. The scale is designed so the sub-frame may be anchored to the foundation by
using expansion anchors which are inserted into the concrete after it has cured.
Expansion anchors are recommended because of the flexibility allowed in final
positioning of the scale. Use certified prints for anchor locations.
3. Pour concrete, using a mix to yield a minimum 4000 PSI Vibrate the concrete into
position to ensure consistency. All concrete work MUST conform to standards set
forth by the American Concrete Institute Code.
4. Allow concrete to cure several days before erecting the scale. Remove forms and
backfill for proper drainage. A slope away from the scale is recommended.
5. Allow concrete to cure for 28 days or until a test cylinder indicates the concrete has
reached its design strength before allowing traffic on the scale.
Remove the wood shipping blocks from
between the frame and weighbridge.
b. Installing Modules - All installations types
Using a chalk line, mark the foundation to determine the center line of the foundation
and position of the anchor bolts (concrete piers) using the Certified print.
1. Using a suitable and safe crane, lift and set a 35-foot module assembly in place on
the support area. The end of the module with the step plates needs to be
positioned away from the first approach end.
Always attach the lifting chains to
the scale weighbridge. Do not attach the chains to the subframe.
The subframe is secured to the weighbridge and will lift together as a complete
module assembly. A 35-foot module assembly weighs approximately 10 tons or
20,000 pounds.
Caution:
Module Assemblies are heavy and awkward to handle. Exercise extreme care
when lifting a module assembly, to avoid personal bodily harm or damage to any
equipment. When lifting the modules, ensure that the lifting chains are equally loaded,
secure, and that an angle of greater than 30 degrees is maintained.
