Connecting Modules

With the first end module in place you can now lift the next adjoining module into place and attach using the 

mounting plates and splice plates. If the adjoining module is a center module, attach another set of 8-hole 

mounting plates to the end of the module farthest from the end wall you started at.

The module will be lowered onto the 8-hole upper receiver plate connected to the end module that was in

-

stalled first, and onto the dummy stands at the opposite end. 

Once lowered onto the first module’s 8-hole upper receiver plates you may insert the remaining four mount

-

ing bolts into the bottom flange of both main beams on that end of the module. You will then attach the splice 

plates by bolting them with 7/8” bolts through the web of the adjacent main beams of the connecting modules.

Lower the last module into place with the end that has the welded mounting plates located closest to the end 

wall, and the end with the mounting and splice plate holes mating with the connecting module.

The module will be lowered onto the 8-hole mounting plate connected to the adjacent module and onto the 

dummy stands at the opposite end. Install the remaining hardware in the mounting plates and then install the 

remaining splice plates between the last modules.

Take a measurement of the distance between the last module’s main beams and the pit’s end wall. This mea

-

surement should be 1-1/4”. Take this measurement from both main beams to the pit wall to ensure that the 

distance is the same and that the module is parallel with the end wall. The measurements should be within 1/8” 

of each other. If they are not, adjust the module by leveraging a pry bar between the module and end wall to 

achieve squareness. 

The end modules are shipped from the factory with the end bumpers and 3/8” thick backing plates installed. If 

additional bumper thickness is needed, additional 1/4” and 1/8” bumper shims are shipped loose and can be 

installed behind the poly block bumpers.
