INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

The 

Mat Mover

®

 is shipped with almost every item pre-assembled, and each unit is 

factory tested to ensure the units are correctly wired with each logic controller.  Please 
take time to read the entire manual before commencing with installation.  The 

Mat Mover

®

 has been designed to provide years of trouble-free operation when 

installed properly. 
 

1.  STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENT

 

 
The most critical part of the installation is the 

existing

 structural support members. The 

structural supports for the system are to comply with the building design, and be 
located on 22’-0” centers.  If the support members are not in place, notify the architect 
and/or owner at once.  The project specific shop drawing by Porter contains the design 
load requirement and typical attachment details with the eight (8) anchor locations.   

 

Approval by the architect/structural engineer is mandatory! 

IMPORTANT! 

An architect or structural engineer must give written approval for the 
support design and any structural modifications, including the steel 
specifications, before the unit may be installed. 

The same critical approval applies to wall mounted units.  The wall to which the 

Mat Mover

®

 attaches must be capable of supporting load of unit as indicated. 

Approval by the architect/structural engineer is mandatory! 

 

Four (4) wall mount brackets are provided by Porter, with twelve (12) thru-bolt 
requirements, as indicated on the project specific shop drawing.  Note all thru-bolts are 
to be 3/4” diameter (by others).  The architect/structural engineer must approve the 
thru-bolt connection before commencing with installation.  The wall construction may 
be comprised of block, insulation and face brick, for example, requiring additional 
structural support between the face brick and interior block.  All hardware exposed on 
the exterior of the building (bolts, washers, nuts, plates) must be weather treated 
(galvanized, plated).
