Tip: another two basic rules that practically always work
• In the case of scaffolding with a width of 75cm, install the guide rails exactly in the
middle of the mounting frame
• In the case of scaffolding with a width of 135cm, allow a 40cm free space between the
rail and the upright tube of the mounting frame (see previous drawing)
Optional (not included as a standard): support rail
De Liftfabriek can, as an option, include a support rail that is mainly intended for installation
on the bottom mounting frame of your scaffolding. The advantage of this support rail is that
you can leave it on this frame as a reminder of the right position for assembly. In addition,
this support rail further increases the rigidity of the guide rail, which may be desirable in
some applications. Support rails are U-profiles measuring 330mm in length and which
enclose the back of a guide rail. Support rails are supplied with two (2) clamps.
For further information about the assembly of the lift mast, reference is made to the
website of De Liftfabriek: www.deliftfabriek.com
The top rail – note the flat end cap (!)
When installing the last and top rail, make sure this rail ends with
a flat end cap. If you were to end up with a ball cap, you can no
longer place the winch or pulley in that position.
Assembly drawing of the Shuttle lift mast for high (7-rung)
mounting frames with a rung distance of 28cm
The assembly of the Shuttle lift mast is illustrated clearly in the drawing. This example
features two high mounting frames with a rung distance of 28cm. If you start with a 4-rung
mounting frame, the clamps are in the same rung positions: on rung 2, rung 7 and rung 14,
counting from the bottom of the scaffolding.
In the case of scaffolding with mounting frames with a rung distance of 25cm, these
positions would be rung 2, rung 8 and rung 16 because in that case, the high mounting
frames have 8 rungs.
The low mounting frame counts 4 rungs.
