Wind Up Jack Leg Option (WUJL)
WUJL option may be fitted to the gantry – this gives
fine adjustment in the height setting (300mm total lift
on the uprights) and gives independent foot adjustment,
particularly useful on uneven ground.
If the windup jack legs are fitted the following points must
be observed:
1. Check whether the castors fitted are Load Rated
(or Pneumatic).
N.B. For pneumatic, non load bearing, castors the
WUJL system must always be applied prior to
performing any lift. If load rated castors are fitted
the operator can choose whether the castors or
WUJL take the load on each foot of the gantry.
2. When transporting over ground or manoeuvring
the gantry, into position, always have the stands in
the ‘parked’ position as in figure 1 right or remove if
required.
3. Position the gantry for the lift before setting the
heights with the jack.
4. Before lifting ensure all jacks are in the correct lifting
position and are secured with locking pins and clips as
in figure 2.
5. Manually raise each leg/castor in turn and set the
height by rotating jack handle clockwise.
6. Having set the adjustment of all four legs, stand back
from the gantry and ensure that the gantry uprights
are vertical and the beam is horizontal.
7. If the ground that the load spreading feet are on is
soft and likely to sink when the load applied put boards
under the feet to spread the load further.
8. Having performed the lifting operations, put the stands
in the ‘park’ position and disassemble.
