SPACE REQUIREMENTS
Take the necessary time to determine the best installation location to optimize the
systems capability. Allow adequate space, clear of system and attachments, for safe
traffic flow of personnel and materials to and from the area. Allow clearance for the
height of transported loads and necessary work space.
Visually define where to install the system by laying out the runways and bridge on
the work space floor, or marking off the proposed runway and bridge placement on
the floor with masking tape. This mock-up allows you to walk off the proposed load
path and direction of travel.
The end and side wall clearance will be the same distance for all rail systems covered
in this manual. Runway to bridge clearances may vary depending on type of rail,
hanger or trolley that is used.
