and 2 into the bottom slot on the inside of the cradle tube. Using those bolts, mount a pair of
side rail brackets on each end of the cradle tube as shown above. Position the outer edge of
the brackets at least 3 inches from the end of the cradle tube. It is important to keep this
distance equal on all four corners to keep it square.
Do not tighten at this time.
Insert the platform rails into the space between the mounting brackets and between the v-
frames and secure with bolts, washers and nuts as shown.

– Assemble the Lift Platform for 8000# - 15000#
The cradle tubes on all the lifts above 8000# have galvanized steel cradle tubes with different
attaching system. They also use the plastic (plastic and aluminum) ring style corner guides.
Lay the galvanized cradle tubes on the bottom frame with the end with the cables coming out
the bottom on the same side as the corner cable brackets. Slide the corner guides over the
post and attach as shown.
Place the platform side rails between the welded brackets on the cradle tube and attach as
illustrated above (use the same fasteners as used for the aluminum cradle tube on the 4000# -
6000# lifts illustrated above).
