Installation & Operation • 5
INSTALLATION & OpERATION
Cases should be set to allow a minimum 3" of space behind the back of the units. This will allow necessary air to circulate behind the
display cases and prevent condensation. Higher humidity stores with minimal air circulation require at least a 4" gap. A minimum 2" gap is
recommended between cases on end-to-end installations. All minimum spacing requirements may increase if seismic restraints are used.
Moving Cases
Various tools and equipment may be used to move cases, including, but not limited to, a forklift, a Johnson bar, a pallet jack, furniture rollers,
casters, or a Rol-A-Lift. Be careful to avoid damaging the store flooring. Only certified forklift drivers should use forklifts to move the cases. The
case should only be lifted off the floor as high as necessary for transport. The forklift should be driven slowly; avoid abrupt motions or bumps.
use the end frame to push/pull the case. For best results, push/pull lower on the end frame.
Do not push/pull on the mullions as this
can cause the mullions to bend.
When using a Johnson bar, only contact the sheet metal of the bottom foamed panel.
Do not contact the bumper support. Be careful
not to pierce the sheet metal with the corner of the Johnson bar.
When using a pallet jack or furniture rollers, only place them under the floor panels.
Do not place them under the bumper support or
drain pipe as that will crush the components.
Cases have steel protective support plates under the end panels (not under insulated dividers) to protect them from Johnson bar damage.
Make sure that a forklift with the proper fork dimensions is available.
Forks must be 48" long, 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" thick, and no more than 4"
wide to fit the bases.
Refer to the table below for instructions.

Forks must extend 26" to 30" under the case from either end

Forks must extend 39" to 43" under the case from either end

Forks must extend 44" to 47" under the case from either end

Forks must extend 44" to 47" under the case from either end
Back-to-Back cases are shipped with wood planks that allow the use of pipe rollers. These wood planks should be removed after the case is
moved to its final location.
OPTIONAL BASES
For low shipping height applications, Zero Zone has optional expandable bases to accommodate up to 1 3/4" thick forks (
). To use
a forklift on cases with expandable bases, raise the case with a Johnson bar and place wooden blocks under the case, allowing the base to
expand enough for forks to be inserted.
If a case needs to move through an 80" door opening, the case will be factory-installed with a 1" base or a 1 3/4" base and will be shipped on a
wooden pallet. Remove the case from the pallet to slide the case through the 80" doorway. The drain elbow will be shipped loose and must be
installed using extra thick PVC cement after the case is through the doorway. The base will be set into a nested base (
.
