Considerations for installation:
- Dock access is needed for unloading the machinery.
- A significant amount of the installation is completed prior to standing the machine, while it is still on its side on the floor.
- On average, a 30’ x 40’ area should be cleared and available for the installation process.
- 12" of clearance from the top of the machine to the ceiling is needed to stand the machine. (Building codes in some areas require clearance up to 18".)
- A 3,000 lb forklift truck is required for equipment installation.
- The average installation takes about six hours once the machinery is off the truck.
- Electrical requirements: 480V/230V (+/- 10%), 3-phase, 60 Hz, 20 amp. dedicated circuit.
- Hardwire or plug capabilities, with NEMA L15-20R socket is needed for plug-in.
- Care is taken to make sure the machine is square and level and that the appropriate safety accessories are installed.
- Thunderstuds are used to secure the machinery to the floor (length is determined by seismic considerations).
- During the test run, final adjustments are made to insure that the chain has proper tension and that the hooks and carriers are properly installed.
- Once the installation is complete, the area will be cleaned of shipping materials and debris.
- As a final step, our installer will provide Product Knowledge Training to the appropriate personnel.
