3.3.1
Read through all steps completely
before proceeding with installation.
3.3.2
All operations associated with the assembly and installation of the end trucks
and/or the crane system should be performed under the supervision of a Qualified Person (see Section

3.3.3
End Bracket Preparation
– Prior to assembling the end trucks prepare the four (4) end brackets (2 end
brackets per end truck) as follows:
Measure
“T” for the runway that the end trucks will be installed on. For Underhung “T” is the flange
width of the runway beam; for Top Running
“T” is the width of the rail head or square bar
(whichever is being used).
Drill
two 9/16” diameter holes in each of the four (4) end brackets in accordance with Figure 3-5.

Wheel Assembly Installation
– Install the Wheel Assemblies to the end trucks as shown in Figure 3-6.
Make sure you locate the Wheel Assemblies properly for your application (Underhung or Top Running)
as shown in Figure 3-7. To prevent the axle from turning when tightening the hex nut, use an air-
powered nut driver. Then, finalize the installation by applying torque to each wheel’s hex nut as follows.
