A MINIMUM of 2 people who are trained in the installation of the
Stacker Bracket System must perform the entire installation.
! WARNING
Installation:
MAXIMUM 2 workers or 500 lbs. per successive Support Brackets.
1. On 3’ long, 2” x 4” Support Brace, mark desired Support Bracket attachment location, making
sure Support Bracket will cross at least three wall studs at selected installation location, even at
sheer areas.
Prior to installation, plan your system:
Support Brackets and Indoor Hanger Brackets MUST be spaced no more than 8’ apart.
All components of the Stacker Bracket System MUST be placed on an even plane.
1. Inspect and ensure the functionality of all components of the Stacker Bracket System, and the
integrity of the structure to which it will be attached.
2. Define a perimeter around the building on which the Stacker Bracket System is to be used.
The perimeter must function to prevent unauthorized access to the site and prevent injury from
falling objects.
3. Measure the entire work area in which the Stacker Bracket System will be used. Use the roof
and building layout plans to properly space your system. Begin 1’ from the outside corner of the
building and mark where Support Brackets will be placed.
4. Consider whether Toeboard Attachments are required. Toeboards are REQUIRED if there is any
possibility for equipment, materials, or other substances to fall down to a lower level, and/or if
the Stacker Bracket System is installed over an active work area where the possibility exists for
workers to pass under the system.
5. Distribute the following materials to the marked installation locations:
• (1) Support Bracket with (1) Top Clamp. Ensure Top Clamp size is matched to fit top rail.
• (1) Guardrail Post.
• (1) 2” x 4”, 3‘ long lumber Support Brace.
• (3) 2” x 4” lumber Guardrails, or Snap-On Metal Adjustable Guardrails.
• (2) 2” x 10”, 10’ long Scaffold Planks.
• (1) Toeboard Attachment and (1) 2” x 4” Toeboard (if required).
• (1) End Rail (for system termination points only).
• (1) Lowering Strap (for sheer roof areas only).
*ALWAYS use construction grade lumber.
