Introduction
The Load Volume Scanner Mobile Truck Measurement (LVS-3TMM) is a fully self-contained unit that can be driven to a site and be fully setup and operational in as little as 45 minutes.
Correct transportation of this mobile truck measurement system is extremely important. Incorrect transportation of this system can result in damage to the scan head and other important parts of the system.
This document explains how to correctly transport the system to avoid costly damage.
Below is a picture of an LVS-3TMM correctly tied down ready to be transported. Make sure that your LVS-3TMM looks secured like the one in the picture before transportation.
Instructions
Figure 1: LVS-3TMM with parts referred to in instructions labelled
- Slowly lower the middle pole (either using the ‘DWN’ button on the remote control in the hydraulic box or manually using the jack).
- Slowly lower the outrigger (either using the ‘IN’ button on the remote control located in the hydraulic box or manually) so that the support leg is just resting on the lower frame. The leg should sit/rest on the centre of the middle pole outer surface as shown below.
- Attach the tie down straps onto the D Shackles using the hooks as pictured above. If the D Shackles aren’t attached to the outrigger, attach them as above and then attach the tie down straps using the hooks.
- Attach the ratchet onto the side of the trailer as pictured below using the hooks and tighten the tie down straps evenly so that they are firm but not taut, ensuring that the outrigger is still centralised.
- Lower the outrigger onto the hydraulic ram using the remote control in the hydraulic box to have a small amount of downward pressure on the ram.
- Finally, tighten the tie down straps to be taut/firm, ensuring that the support leg is still centralised.
- Please ensure that the outrigger has very little movement after these steps are completed before transportation. If there is movement, adjust the outrigger and tie downs until there is no movement before transporting the system.
