Unloading ConQuest ® Products
Unloading at a Dock
Use a pallet jack or forklift to remove all products on pallets. Remove any blocking materials for the individual
rows of conduit and roll the reels onto the dock. If the back of the trailer and dock are not the same height, use an
appropriate loading ramp to compensate for the difference.
NOTE: See table for product weights beginning on page 8.9.
Unloading Without a Dock
If you use a ramp, it should be strong enough to support the weight of the unloading personnel and the heaviest
conduit reels. The ramp should have raised sides to prevent the conduit reels from rolling off the sides of the ramp.
The ramp should be long enough to allow control of the momentum of the conduit as it rolls down the ramp. A pulley
system connected to the sides of the truck and to a shaft passing through the center of the reels can help control
momentum of the rolling reels. With this method, two workers can usually control movement of the heaviest reel.
If you use a CargoMaster ® crane, unstack if required and move the reels to the rear of the truck and lower to the
ground with the crane.
