6.8 Stack a 4400/4430 on a 44/44R
1. Using a forklift or lifter, raise the Innova 4400/4430 to be stacked so that its back end is tilted
toward the rear of the mounting brackets.
2. Remove the feet from the unit. They will not be needed for stacking, but you may want to keep
them for future use.
3. With two assistants guiding the unit from opposite sides, lower the shaker onto the mounting
brackets, back end first. Slowly and gently remove the forklift or lifter, lowering the front of the
unit onto the mounting brackets by hand and making sure it is tight against the righthand
mounting bracket.
4. As indicated (see Fig. 9 on p. 22), secure the bottom of the upper shaker to the mounting
brackets with the screws, lockwashers and washers provided. Be sure to tighten the right side
first, then secure the left side.
5. Make sure the shakers are level; add metal shims under the base if needed.
6.9 Stack a third shaker
To stack a third shaker, repeat the appropriate procedures provided above to install the stacking
kit, to stack the shaker, and to level the entire assembly.
CAUTION!
Equipment damage
 When stacking three shakers, do not use a base taller than 10.5 cm (4 in).
 When stacking three shakers, all shaker loads must be balanced. These shakers operate
best at maximum speed with a load of 15.5 ( ± 1.4) kg or 34 (± 3) lb, which includes all
platforms, clamps, and filled glassware.
 For three stacked 2 in stroke shakers, maximum operating speed must be limited to 250 rpm.
