Configuration 1
(Configuration 1 is for trucks where the back end of the truck has no plate and only the truck frame rails are exposed.)
PN: 11140
-
06 used for illustration, other lengths are installed in the same way.
Adding ballast can affect the truck bed height, so it is advisable to ballast the truck before attaching the TMA. Check
the truck frame to make sure that it is structurally sound and not rusted. Also check the amount of frame extension in
back of the spring brackets – a minimum of 10” is needed. Check that the bed of the truck does not extend beyond the
back of the frame more than 4” (see Fig. 3). This is necessary for vertical clearance of the TMA. Check the frame for a
cross tie plate connecting one side to the other if the frame extends to the rear more than a few feet. It is preferred to
keep the frame from extending more than 24” from the back of the spring support bracket. Also check the height of
the truck side gates. These should be less than 8’ 6” from the ground to allow clearance if the double 90° tilt is used.
1. The truck frame should be two c
-
channels spaced 34” apart. Start by grinding the inside and outside of the end of
the frame to prepare for a weld. Make sure that the frame is square from side to side by measuring the same distance
from the frame ends to the back of the spring shackles.
2. The rear plate (42” x 22”) (shipped with the strut) will be centered on the back of the truck frame and the bottom of
the Truck Mount Frame will be 16
-
1/4” above the ground. The truck will settle about ½” after installation of the TMA
and this is accounted for. REMEMBER THAT THE TRUCK MUST BE BALLASTED BEFORE WELDING THE REAR PLATE ON
THE TRUCK FRAME. Note where the frame will be welded to the plate and grind the paint off the plate in this location.

Part number 11141 truck mount comes with a plate to be welded to the truck frame rails. Before fully welding part
number 11141 truck mount to the frame rails, tack in the part to ensure proper alignment and height recommenda-
tions from the ground. Refer to the Scorpion TMA Dump Truck Mount recommendations. Once fully welded, use
Figure 1 below for installation and assembly for all of the components for Configuration 1.
