Page 5 of 20

Site Survey:

1. Identify aisles for installation. Check for field conditions affecting installation.

Do not install ladders in aisle in which permanent obstacles impede ladder or trolley motion or in which applicable ordinances prohibit aisle obstruction.

2. Dual Trak® Ladder Systems are approved only for installation on Lozier S Series or Merchandise Equipment Group Shelf Space Light Duty Storage Shelving. Consult a structural engineer and Cotterman Company ([email protected]) before installing on any other shelving, rack or structural support system.

Installing the ladder system on an unapproved shelving, rack or structural support system may result in collapse of the system and serious injury or death.

3. Ensure that shelving uprights or other track mounting surfaces are adequately anchored to the floor and capable of supporting track, trolley, ladder and the maximum rated load of the ladder.

Installing the ladder system on damaged uprights or on any structurally insufficient member may result in collapse of the system and serious injury or death.

4. Ensure that the intended track installation height in each aisle is within the specified range for the ladder intended for installation (see Specifications and Selection Guide, above).

Failure to install track at proper height may prevent proper function of the ladder and trolley systems: Ladder movement may be impeded and proper location of the ladder difficult or impossible.

Steps and platform may not rest in a level position, causing an unsafe condition.

5. Ensure that there is a shelf at the intended track installation height between every pair of uprights.

6. Ladders and Trolleys are available in Standard and Brake models (see Specifications and Selection Guide, above). Ensure that you have the correct type of ladder for each aisle width. • For 35 to 48 inch wide aisles

use Standard Ladders and Trolleys.

NOTE: Use of Brake Ladders and Trolleys in 35 to 48 inch wide aisles may impede movement of ladder.

• For aisles over 48 inches wide and up to 61 inches wide, use Brake Ladders and Trolleys.

Use of Standard Ladders and Trolleys in aisles over 48 inches wide may result in trolley failure and ladder collapse, resulting in serious injury or death.

7. Count number of 3-foot and 4-foot shelving upright intervals and compare to available track: • For 3-foot intervals, use GT1003

Track • For 4-foot intervals, use GT1004

Track • For greater intervals, use

GT1005 Track

Bracket interval can not exceed 4-1/2 feet. Use of track longer than this may result in track, trolley and ladder collapse, resulting in serous injury or death.

8. Check type of shelving and compare to available brackets: • For installation on shelving

uprights and for wall mounting track. use L15 series brackets.

• To terminate track on a wall perpendicular to aisle, use LWEBG bracket.

Use of incorrect brackets or failure to properly fasten brackets to uprights or other mounting surfaces may result in track, trolley and ladder collapse, resulting in serious injury or death.

9. Check for overhead or aisle obstructions or electrical hazards that may prevent operation or movement of ladder, or cause injury to users.

Remove such hazards before installing ladders. Installation of ladders in aisles with these hazards may result in serious injury or death.

10. Correct discrepancies in material requirements and correct any site conditions before beginning installation.

NOTE: Failure to identify and correct material shortages or discrepancies prior to starting installation may result in delays or excess costs.

Installation of incorrect system components or installation in prohibited aisles may result in serious injury or death

System Installation (required for each aisle): See Fig. 2 for Overview and detail of typical installation.

Track Installation: Working up aisles from dead end (Fig. 2, opposite page): 1. Measure and mark track height on

each upright. Ensure that the track height is within the range for the ladder you are installing. It is best if the track is mounted such that the top of the track is just below top of shelf level.

Failure to install track at correct height may prevent proper function of the ladder and trolley systems: Ladder movement may be impeded and proper location of the ladder difficult or impossible. Steps and platform may not rest in a level position, causing an unsafe condition.

2. Install brackets and track (Fig. 2). Select proper brackets and method for application. See Specifications and Selection Guide and Site Survey, Step 6, above. See Fig. 2 for installation of L15U Brackets and LWEBG Bracket. Use provided bolts, spacers, washers and nuts to attach brackets to uprights.

a. For uprights without wood infill panels, use a 17/64 in. drill for mounting holes.

b. Use 7/16 in. combination or socket wrench to tighten provided bracket bolts.

Using screws to attach brackets to uprights that do not have wood infill panels may result in bracket separation from upright and track, trolley and ladder collapse, resulting in serious injury or death.

c. For uprights with wood infill panels, drill a 9/64 in. pilot hole through the metal upright applicable and into the wood. Then use only the provided screws to attach the bracket.

d. Use 3/8 in. combination or socket wrench to tighten provided screws.

Drilling the pilot hole over-size in wall mount applications or for L15 brackets on uprights with wood infill panels or for mounting LWEBG to a wood plate, may result in bracket separation from mounting surface and track, trolley and ladder collapse, resulting in serious injury or death.

3. Wall mount application (Fig. 5), when aisle is bounded by a wall on one side.

a. Mount 2 x 4 plate to wall using fastening methods sufficient to support the weight of the track, trolley, ladder and rated load of the ladder plus a safety factor. Consult an architect or structural engineer before installing.

b. Drill a 9/64 in. pilot hole into the wood plate. Then mount the LWEBG bracket using only the provided screws.

c. Use 3/8 in. combination or socket wrench to tighten provided screws.

Installation of incorrect system components or installation in prohibited aisles may result in serious injury or death.

Fig. 5

4. Track Selection: • GT1003: For 3 foot upright

intervals. • GT1004: For 4 foot upright

intervals. • GT1005 Track may be cut to

length to accommodate bracket intervals between 4 ft. and 4-1/2 ft. Ensure that end play between brackets is no more than ½” (Fig. 6).
