5.6 Mounting Hoist on a Monorail/Trac System
Monorail/Trac mounting is only possible with hoists that have rollers attached. See
Table 3.1 for further information about mounting options for the hoist being used.
Due to the weight and size, Beta Max, Inc. recommends using two or more people
to install the hoist.
1. Remove the retaining pin or bolts from the inboard end of the Monorail/Trac.
2. Raise the hoist and roll it into the Monorail/Trac.
3. Reinstall the retaining pin or bolts at the end of the Monorail/Trac to prevent
the hoist from rolling out.
CAUTION
When installing the hoist, use caution to avoid pinching fingers and hands. Pay special attention to
the area of rollers to avoid potential injury.
4. Move the hoist along the full length of the Monorail/Trac to ensure it rolls
freely. If the hoist does not move freely, clean any dirt, rust, mortar, or other
debris from the inside of the Monorail/Trac before using.
5. Verify the Monorail/Trac is horizontally level and mounted securely. If the
hoist does not remain in one spot and moves on its own, the Monorail/Trac is
not level. The Monorail/Trac must be set level before using.
