USING THE CHAIN POINT
The rear of the MCP is designed such that a chain or other similar load-bearing device can
be passed in and out of the openings on the back of the unit as pictured below. This is to
allow the user to secure the MCP in place and prevent it unintentionally moving out of place.

MCP-6-SS –User Manual Page 12 of 21
WALL MOUNTING
The MCP has eight (8) x 9 mm diameter wall mounting through holes on the rear of
the body which can be used instead of, or in addition to, positioning the unit in place
using the wheel brakes. When installing the unit in a wall mount setting, a spacer must
be placed between the back of the unit and the wall. This is to allow the ventilation
holes to remain unobstructed. The illustration below shows the method of installation.
Prior to mounting the unit, holes must be drilled to the appropriate size in the wall to
receive the fasteners used to wall mount the unit. A typical M8 bolt will fit through the
holes. Be sure to use the appropriate bolts depending on what surface the unit is being
mounted to e.g. masonry, steel, wood fasteners etc., etc.

TIE DOWN POINTS
The MCP tie down points can be found at the top of the unit inbetween the cable cleats
and short edge of the top of the unit. These tie down instructions are only applicable
for when the MCP is in the upright position with all 4 castor wheel brakes engaged.
The image below demonstrates how the tie down point should be used.

MCP-6-SS –User Manual Page 14 of 21
FORK POCKETS
The MCP comes fitted with forklift pockets which allow the unit to be safely moved with a
forklift or similar machinery / equipment. When using the fork pockets, where possible,
ensure the MCP is pushed up against the head board or similar support of the fork lift / lifting
equipment. This will ensure the most stability during movement and minimize risk of injury.
The transparent image below demonstrates how the MCP may be positioned on the tines of
a forklift.
