Mac-Trac Mounting
(For Use with Scorpio Plus and Scorpio Plus XL Model Hoists Only)
Mounting Site Preparation
Designed for masons and chimney builders, the Mac-Trac is made for lifting
materials to workmen on a short run of scaffold while still allowing for sufficient
work area on the platform. The Mac-Trac mounting option is designed for use on
most scaffold frames. It mounts easily on top of existing 4-, 5-, or 6-foot (1.2-,
1.5-, 1.8-meter) standard 1-5/8 inch- (0.3175 centimeter-) tubular scaffold
frames. The cross brace spacing between frames must be set at 7 feet (2.1 meters).
A full-width deck must be installed at the hoist location to provide adequate
working room and footing for installing and operating the hoist. The scaffold must
be horizontally level. Check the scaffold manufacturer’s mounting specifications
for leveling the scaffold platform. Guardrails and toe boards may also be necessary
(check local or national safety requirements).
Scaffold frames must be in good condition and free of dents, bends, heavy
corrosion, cuts, modifications or any other damage. All cross braces must be in
place and secured before attempting to install the Mac-Trac. Scaffold frames must
be pinned or bolted to the frames below, and all frames must be anchored securely
to the vertical building face. Check with the scaffold manufacturer for the correct
way to erect and anchor the scaffold.
