THE TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
Listed below are some of the tools needed to install the FREIGHTLIFT in a professional
and prompt manner. Individual site situations and a basic variation in the types of units
may dictate the need for additional items.
Welding Machine and Equipment Hack Saw, Sawzall, or
Cutting Torch with Full Tanks Portable Band Saw
Fire Extinguisher Drill and Drill Bits
Forklift Extension Cords
Chain Fall Sledge Hammer
Come-A-Long Open or box end wrench

1/2” anchors Broom
The following supplies will also be needed:
*Concrete anchors (16 minimum) sized for the required minimum pullout of the base
floor channels and upper level bracing. Refer to the approval drawing since the size of
the anchors can vary for each installation.
*Concrete anchors for accessories, such as enclosures, approach ramps, etc. (Usually
1/4” diameter anchors and at least 12 anchors, minimum.)
*Shim stock for the floor channel, platform carriage corners, and/or approach ramp (if a
part of this installation)
*Hydraulic oil (see oil recommendations “General Maintenance” section)
*Paint (Autoquip Blue: available in 1 and 5 gallons, as well as spray cans)
*3” x 3” steel angle iron or 4” channel for additional bracing
ALSO - BEFORE YOU BEGIN :
1. Beams are too heavy to lift manually and require lifting equipment. Check for
availability of overhead attachment of chain fall or of fork truck before you start.
2. Before you will be able to complete the installation the unit must be operated,
therefore power to the motor is required. Arrange for power before starting
installation.
