Shop-Hopper Vehicle Anchoring
The Shop-Hopper vehicle anchoring system consists of four
anchoring stands with clamp bars and two cross bars.
Together with the cross bars, the anchoring stands and
clamp bars provide a positive means of securing a vehicle to
the Shop-Hopper.
Crossbar Mounting
The crossbars can be mounted anywhere along the
Shop-Hopper as needed for the vehicle mounting locations.
Each crossbar has four bolt locations that must be used to
securely mount to the Shop-Hopper. (See figure 23) For
easier alignment of the crossbars with the desired holes,
use one of the pins from the anchoring stands as an
alignment tool. Once the crossbars have been placed,
firmly tighten the bolts with a 30mm wrench.
Anchoring Base Mounting
The anchoring stands are mounted to the crossbars. They
can be mounted anywhere along the track that the bar will
slide. (See figure 24) Once the anchoring stands have been
placed, they also must be securely mounted by tightening
the bolts with a 30mm wrench.
Two Piece Anchoring
The clamp bars mount to the adjustable height tube of the
anchoring stand. This assembly is called Two Piece
Anchoring. Each bar fits between the ears on top of the
tube. The bars are secured with the bolt and nut at the
center of the clamp and tightened with a 30mm wrench.
(See figure 25) The advantage of the Two Piece Anchoring
is that the clamp bars can be attached to the pinch welds of
the vehicle first. Then the anchoring bases and crossbars
can be positioned to mount to the clamps. This
arrangement will make it easier to load a vehicle on the
Shop-Hopper using a 2-post lift.
