When mounting the loader on a common type trailer or truck frame, use the hardware kits provided with the loader.
Shown below, the loader is installed on an I-beam type vehicle frame (either truck or trailer), however, the same installation may also be applied to U-channel type vehicle frames.
1.
Position the loader on the vehicle frame.
2.
Weld four locator plates (4" x 4" x 1") to the trailer frame rails to prevent the loader from sliding forward and back on the trailer.
NOTE:
Weld the along the length of the frame only. Do not weld across frame.

3.
Attach the loader base to the vehicle frame in four locations, ensuring that each clamping kit is installed as shown.
NOTE:
When installing the loader on a U-channel type vehicle frame, a spacer plate may be required between the open ends of the U-channel at each clamping location to prevent distortion when the clamps are tightened.
4.
Tighten the clamp nut (A) to the specified torque at each location.
