MobileTrak5 Decking Installation Instructions
INSTALLING DECKING
Check to make sure that the decking has 1/4-20 T-nuts installed on the bottom. Use the decking
layout sheet supplied with each job as a guide. Install the decking sections from left to right, making
sure to install (3) splice plates between each section of decking (see Figure F). After all sections of
decking are laid out, it must be secured to the rails. To secure: Drill pilot holes through the pre-drilled
holes in the decking into the flange of the rail (space approximately 12" apart). Then use #10 x 1"
long self tapping screws to secure decking to rails. Make sure that rails do not move while attaching
decking (see Figure C. To make decking more rigid and eliminate "bounce", install 1/4-20 x 1 1/4" long
leveling screws through the T-nuts in decking until they contact floor and level with a 2' bubble level
(NOTE: try not to put weight on the decking while this is being done). Repeat for the remaining
decking sections. (NOTE: If the system is equipped with side ramps, skip to the section on installing
side ramps before attaching decking to system).
INSTALLING DECK END TRIM
(OPTIONAL)
Deck end trim is used in some cases to
cover the exposed end of a system (see
Figure G). Deck end trim is supplied in
standard sizes. In most cases these pieces
need to be cut in the field to fit. Deck end
trim is to cover decking only. Do not cover
the ends of the rails. After measuring and
cutting pieces to length, attach to decking
with the flange sitting on top of the
decking with #10 x 3/4" pan head Phillips
screws.
