2. Installation
For installation you will need common hand tools that most homeowners have, like screwdrivers
and pliers, but in addition, you will need some tools that are not common. Each installation is
somewhat different, and depends on how much room you have to work around installing the lift.
Below is a chronological sequence of installation steps, with the associated tools.
Required Tools
1. Fork Lift to unload lift upon delivery
2. Fork Lift and/or engine hoist for moving pieces and positioning lift column.
(You will also need a ten-foot length of 3/8” chain.)
3. 1” and 5/16” wrench and socket with ratchet
4. 1” and 1/8” socket and extension
5. 1/2” wrench
6. 11/16” wrench
7. Adjustable wrench
8. Small crowbar or large screwdriver for aligning bolt holes
9. Pliers
10. Flat blade screwdriver
11. Tin Snips
12. Gloves
IMPORTANT!
1. Unloading the Lift
You’ll need a forklift that can handle about 2,000 to 2,300 pounds and operates on a smooth
surface.
2. Un-banding the 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 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
bands. Stand to the side of the bands when you cut them, and use gloves when removing the
cut bands because they have sharp edges.
3. Moving Lift Components
You can move the larger components pieces to the garage or service bay with the forklift.
Some of the smaller pieces can be moved by two or more people by carrying them. If you have
several people helping, some of the larger pieces can be moved manually.
