PalletPal 360 Manual
4.4 Spring Selection
Spring configurations are chosen to operate best within a specific load weight/height range. If
the load height and/or weight changes, a different spring configuration may be needed. See the
Spring Selection Chart
for springs required for the specific ranges. If necessary, additional
springs may be ordered. Contact customer service for more information.
Range 0 machines are not supplied with an orange spring. Instead, one
white spring is supplied. This spring is installed at the factory and the
machine is shipped in the raised position. No further setup is required.
4.4.1. Spring Selection Chart
In order to make sure your PalletPal functions properly you must have the proper spring
configuration. This simple chart below will allow you to pick the right spring configuration for your
application based on the weight of your pallet load and the height of your pallet load.
PalletPal springs are precisely calibrated and will work best within the load weight and height
ranges selected. Selection based on higher or lower than actual weight will result in restricted
raising or lowering capability. Should pallet weight or height weight requirements dramatically
change, PalletPal can be adapted in the field at any time by simply changing the spring
combination used.
