c. Since Matloks will be offset at an angle, pay particular attention to what would happen should

the Matlok be activated in the case of a falling load bar. As the Matlok takes over the load for
one or both ends of the load bar, the load will swing in the direction of the Matlok. If you deem
this to be an unsafe situation contact facility personnel and Jaypro directly. Either a custom
engineered solution will have to be developed, or additional steel put in place, or the Matlok
can’t be installed.

d. Pay particular attention to the placement of the Matlok strap with regards to parts of mat hoist

system. As the unit is raised and lowered watch for rubbing of the strap which would
eventually damage the Matlok or adversely affect it’s effectiveness to stop a falling load.

e. Make sure the cables do not rub on the strap while unit is being raised and lowered.

f. See Figure 8 for details on attaching Matlok to beam, and Figure 5 for attachment of Matlok

strap to load bar.
