1.
MOUNTING THE GANTRY AND ROLLER ASSEMBLY
Pick a suitable place on the chassis of the truck directly behind the cab to mount
the Gantry and Roll Assembly. Clear away or re-route any hoses, cables etc. that
may interfere with mounting the Gantry to the chassis. Locate and clamp –2-
Chassis Mounting Angles to the frame. You may turn these angles in over the
chassis or out from the chassis depending on the chassis width of your truck.
Allow a minimum of 3-4” between the front of these mounting angles and the
back of the cab. This will provide clearance for the Roller Assembly as it moves
up and down vertically. The mounting angles must be in the exact same position
on either side of the chassis. A good way to ensure this is to check the squareness
of a crossmember to the chassis rails and if square, use that as a reference point
for locating the mounting angles. The height of the mounting angles should be the
same if placed directly on top of the chassis flanges. If not, the height can be
checked by measuring each side or with a level (assuming the truck is level).
Once the mounting angles have been properly located and clamped, they must be
bolted to the chassis with ½ grade 8 hardware (not supplied). Four bolts are
recommended on each side.
NOTE: DO NOT DRILL INTO THE CHASSIS FLANGE OR ANY CLOSER
TO THE FLANGES THAN THE TRUCK MANUFACTURER DID.
Drill the holes thru the mounting angles and chassis, then fasten securely with the
hardware specified above. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the
proper amount of torque on the bolts.
