MOVING THE TREADWALL
The following methods are used in re-locating the Treadwall.
MOVING WITHIN A ROOM WITHOUT OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS.
Casters: Brewer's Ledge provides both light duty (for occasional moving) and heavy duty (for
frequent moving) casters. These casters are bolted onto the lower cross-member of the side
frames and may be left in place during normal operation. If you need to move the Treadwall on a
regular basis, we recommend these casters. Call for details.
Moving dollies: 4 wheel moving dollies can be rented from moving or truck rental companies,
and are a convenient way to move the Treadwall if you have a relatively level, smooth floor. You
will also need an 8 ft. 2x4 and a couple of large c-clamps. Use the
2x4 the pry up each side of the Treadwall and slip 2 moving dollies
under each bottom frame member (4 total). Then
clamp the 2x4
across the bottom front of the Treadwall to prevent the front legs from
spreading apart while moving it.
Lift and carry: The Treadwall weighs about 1300 lb.. Theoretically
10 people can lift and carry it (especially if they are accustomed to
lifting weights) and it has been done - but not without difficulty. It is
not recommended for any distance more that a couple of feet.
If you
go this route, it is absolutely necessary to clamp a 2x4 across the
front of the machine as in the diagram to prevent misaligning the
machine
.
MOVING IN A ROOM WITH OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS.
If pipes, ducts, beams or suspended ceilings prevent moving the
Treadwall across the room, removal of the panels is required. This is
a tedious but not difficult job. You will need a socket wrench with a 3/8" socket, a 1/8" Allen
wrench and a bit of patience. Remove the first 3 panels at the bottom of the machine by
reaching into the gap where the panels go under with the socket wrench and unscrewing the
bolts that hold the panels onto the chains with the Allen wrench. The rest of the panels can be
removed at waist height by moving the wall around and locking it into place with the resistance
control.
With the panels off, the machine is much lighter and can be tilted forward by 6 strong people
onto a pair of moving dollies. Clamp a 2x4 between the front legs first. At its new location,
re-erect the Treadwall and put the panels back on.
Note that the metal reinforcing bars on the back of the panels are offset slightly to one side.
As the panels go back on, they should alternate - on one panel the reinforcer is above the
tee-nuts, on the next is below. If you don't do this, the counter will not work properly. You can
use a cordless drill with a 1/8" Allen wrench bit to speed up the job, but don't make the screws
too tight - just draw them up snug. You will probably need a few extra bolts and nuts, so call us
first.
