Carriage Placement

You are now ready to place the carriage onto the rails. The Carriage Assembly arrives on the site
secured to a shipping frame. When lifting it into place the forks can be inserted from either side as
shown below.
Note: If you have fork extensions, the Carriage may also be lifted form the exit side of the shipping frame.

CAUTION

Be sure to clamp the forks to the shipping frame before lifting.

1) From the entrance end, maneuver the Carriage Assembly into the bay on one of the forklifts and
move to the position between the Rail Travel Stop and the Head Beam.
2) If the rail spacing was set to the 92-1/4’’ distance, then proceed immediately to the next step
(Step 3). If the rail spacing was set to the 100’’ distance, proceed to step 4.
3) 92-1/4’’ Rail Spacing: Pull the Carriage up to just in front of the rails. Have someone on each
side of the machine to check clearance and slowly drive the machine onto the rails. Move directly
to step 5.
Note: There is 1/8’’ of clearance between the pods and the rails, keep this in mind when loading
the carriage onto the rails.
4) 100” Rail Spacing: From the predetermined end, maneuver the Carriage into the bay on one of
the forklifts and move to the position between the end of the rail and the Head Beam as shown
below.
