INSTALLATION & OPERATION
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.
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 20" to 24" under the case from either end
6ORMC
Forks must extend 26" to 30" under the case from either end
8ORMC
Forks must extend 39" to 43" under the case from either end
12ORMC
Forks must extend 44" to 47" under the case from either end
OPTIONAL BASES
For low shipping height applications, such as 80" tall doorways, Zero Zone offers 1" bases or 1 3/4" bases.
Cases with 1" bases will be shipped on a wooden pallet and are not forkliftable. The case can be removed from the pallet to slide it through
the 80" doorway.
The 1 3/4" bases are expandable to accommodate up to 1 3/4" thick forks (
). To use a forklift on the 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.
Cases with 1" or 1 3/4" bases will be set into nested bases (
. The drain elbow will be shipped loose and must be installed using
extra thick pVC cement after the case set in place.
Spacer blocks (also called filler blocks) are included in the end bases of 8' and 12' cases that use bases which are 4 1/2" or taller. These blocks
limit the case's forward tilt while it is being lifted by a forklift. The forks should be inserted above the spacer blocks (
