INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
You will need common hand tools that most homeowners have, like a hammer,
screwdrivers and pliers, but in addition, you may need some tools that are not common.
Each installation is somewhat different and depends on how much room you have to
work around the lift.
Required Tools
1. Forklift
2. Metal Shears
3. Socket Wrenches with Ratchet
4. Adjustable Wrench
5. Pliers
6. Flat Blade Screwdriver
7. Gloves
Unloading Lift
You’ll need a forklift that can handle about 2,000 to 2,300 pounds and operate on a
smooth surface.
Un-banding Lift
The steel bands which secure the lift parts to the pallets are heavy duty. You’ll need a
pair of metal shears or tin snips to cut the steel bands. Be very careful when doing this
because the bands will tend to fly apart when they are cut, and the heavy lift parts may
shift when freed from the steel bands. Stand to the side of the steel bands when cutting
them, while using gloves when removing the cut bands because they have sharp edges.
You can move the large piece to the garage with the forklift. Other smaller pieces can be
moved manually.
