The following chart will detail several important items required in a basic installation.  Every site will be differ-
ent and needs to be reviewed on a job by job basis. 

Typical Foundation: VPCB-M30 shown (see your order specific drawings for project specific details) 

Heavy DutyFork lift with side shift if pos-
sible, Gradall, or alternative 

For lifting the Bolster and later for lifting the operator and Drop arm/gate 

Backhoe or alternative 

For excavating the foundation and any needed trenching 

Hammer drill, including 1/2” and 3/4” bits 
x 12” long 

For drilling and securing expansion/anchor bolts to pad and operator 

Hand tools, including hammer, screw-
drivers (flat & Phillips), 1/2” drive socket 
set, open end wrench set 

For component installation 

Lifting straps/slings or chains rated to 
safely handle the weight of the system 
(See Spec sheet for weights, page 8) 

For off-loading from delivery transport, moving to installation area, lowering  
bolster into excavated area, and landing the operator/Drop arm/gate on the 
pad 

Theodolite or equivalent 

For trench layout accuracy, leveling the bolster accurately and positioning 
within tolerances specified 

Concrete finishing tools (trowels, 
screeds, brooms, etc.) 

For concrete finishing 

Soil Tamper/Concrete vibrator 

For tamping the soil to correct compression and removing entrapped air in
