Pre-Assembly
General Assembly Instructions
Actual elevator construction will differ between
contractors depending on available equipment,
crew experience and personal preference.
However, we suggest the following procedure:
1
Set the boot on the footing.
2
Assemble the head section complete with
the work platform, drive components and a
minimum of a 10’
[3,048 mm]
leg section.
3
Position the crane so the leg and all spouting
can be constructed in (1) set up.
4
Sub-assemble leg sections together in
30’
[9,144 mm]
segments with ladders, safety
cages and any platforms. Remember, position
the guy wire brackets and cables at 20’
[6,096
mm]
intervals.
Alternate Method - 4.
Some contractors
prefer to lift the elevator in 10’
[3,048 mm]
increments and bolt the leg sections on
individually.
5
Lift the elevator and continue to add
sub-assembled leg sections until legs are
complete.
6
Securely guy and plumb the elevator.
7
Install the belt and make a temporary splice.
8
Fasten the buckets to the belt and make a
permanent splice.
9
Check for loose fasteners and check the
operation of the elevator without material.
NOTE: Crane time is reduced if approximately
30’ [9,144 mm] of trunking, ladder, etc. can be installed
to the head when it is still resting on the ground.
