Lifting and Handling

The top module can be lifted using four chains attached to the four lift lugs
provided with the scale. Once the first module is removed from the truck and is
placed on the setting blocks, the four lift lugs can be removed and used for lifting
and positioning the other modules.

Rice Lake Weighing Systems will credit the customer for the return of the four lift lugs. Please call for an RMA
number.

1.4

Temporary Setting Blocks

Most installers use 15-1/4" temporary setting
blocks for initial module positioning and to aid
in installing deck module bolts. When an end
module is placed into position on the setting
blocks, the top of the module will be 6-1/3"
below the top of the pit. The outriggers and deck
coping are assembled before the load cells
mounts are installed and will bring the top of the
scale to approximately 1/3" below the top of the
pit. Shims are added during final leveling to
raise the deck surface the last 1/3".

Please refer to the construction prints included with the SURVIVOR

®

Survivor PT truck scale to confirm all

foundation and scale dimensions.

Do not place the setting blocks in the location on the piers where the load cell mounts are to be placed.
