CRITICAL SAFETY INFORMATION: The greatest exposure to serious bodily injury and or death may occur when the
Tranzsporter track sections are located within 10 ft. (left or right or underneath) overhead electric power lines. If a minimum
safe distance (10 ft.) from electrical wires cannot be maintained, contact the local utility company and have the electric wire
unenergized and grounded or guarded effectively by insulating or other means.
A COMPETENT PERSON must be present during any set up, during any repositioning, and during any tear down operations
of the Transporter track sections when the Transporter is to be located near electric power lines. A COMPETENT PERSON must
read and understand the Owners Manual for set up, operating instructions, and tear down instructions in order to insure that
all personnel authorized to set up, operate, and tear down the Transporter are made aware of ALL SAFETY WARNINGS as well
as the operating instructions. ALWAYS USE APPROVED ROOF TOP fall protection when setting up, operating, and taking down
the Tranzsporter Hoist.

Raising and Lowering the Track Section Assembly
WARNING: KEEP TRACK SECTIONS MINIMUM 10 FT. CLEAR OF ALL ELECTRICAL WIRES AND EQUIPMENT.
BE AWARE OF OVERHEAD WIRES BEFORE RAISING TRACK SECTIONS. ELECTRICITY KILLS!
The hoist assembly is extremely top heavy and must be kept under control at all times. Two alternate methods
are suggested for raising the platform hoist to the operating position. ALWAYS USE APPROVED ROOF TOP
FALL PROTECTION when setting up, operating, and taking down the Tranzsporter Hoist.
Procedure “A”
This procedure requires two or preferably three men.
1. Lay the assembled track sections with the platform attached parallel to
the building wall that is to support the hoist.
2. Tie a rope to the head bracket and have the man on roof pull up the hoist
while the other man on the ground braces the shoes on the bottom base
section to prevent slippage of the hoist shoes. The third man on the
ground may aid in erecting by “walking” the hoist up hand over hand
by the rungs.
3. When the hoist reaches a vertical position, carefully turn the hoist
90 degrees with the platform pointing away from the building. Move the
bottom of the hoist away from the building 1/4 of the height of the
building where the top of the hoist is to be supported. Make allowances for
overhang. See page 13 for track section chart for approximate
distances of the base from the building.
4. Tie the track section to the roof with a rope fastened to a cross tie on the
top bracket to prevent slippage of the track section. See below.
DO NOT TIE ROPE TO THE RAILS - THIS WILL PREVENT
THE PLATFORM FROM OPERATING PROPERLY.
5. Make certain the shoes on the steel bottom section are firmly resting
on level ground. This will help to prevent track section slippage or
uneven loading of the track section which could cause damage or injury
to personnel and/or to equipment.
Raising the Track Section Assembly
Secure the Top Cap
Option 1 Low Top Cap
Attach the “S” hooks
included with the top cap
hardware. Place in
mousing holes on the back
of the top cap. Tie off the
“S” hooks with rope and
secure with cross tie.
Option 2 High
Top Cap
Pass rope threw the
track section rungs. Tie
off the rope and secure
with cross tie.
Option 3
Ladder and Hoist
Anchor Kit #13809

13
Procedure “B”
This procedure requires two or preferably three men.
1. Place track section assembly perpendicular to the building with the
bottom shoes of the steel bottom section resting against the building to
prevent slipping.
2. Tie a rope to the top bracket and have the man on the roof pull up the
hoist while the other man on the ground braces the shoes on the steel
bottom base section to prevent slippage of the hoist shoes. The third
man on the ground may aid in erecting by “walking” the hoist up hand
over hand by the rungs.
3. When the hoist reaches a vertical position, carefully turn the hoist 180
degrees with the platform pointing away from the building.
4. Move the bottom of the hoist away from the building 1/4 of the height of
the building where the top of the hoist is to be supported. Angle of track
sections from building should be between 18 and 20 degrees. Make
allowances for an overhang. See page 14 for track section chart for
approximate distances of the base from the building.
5. Tie the track section to the roof with a rope fastened to a cross tie on
the top bracket to prevent slippage of the track section. See below.
DO NOT TIE ROPE TO THE RAILS - THIS WILL PREVENT THE
PLATFORM FROM OPERATING PROPERLY.
6. Make certain the shoes on the steel bottom section are firmly resting
on level ground. This will help to prevent track section slippage or
uneven loading of the track section which could cause damage or
injury to personnel and/or to equipment.

Plywood/Flat Panel Tie Down and Lifting Instructions
• Use the proper tie down equipment - If you are not securing your
cargo with the proper safety straps, it could come loose during
lifting, resulting in injury or death.
• Never hoist anything wider than the 8 ft. - larger plywood sheets
can make controlling your hoist difficult and dangerous,
especially when considering windy conditions. Wide panels
must be centered to prevent tipping.
• Attach your safety straps to slotted tie-down points - Do not
hook your tie-down straps to the plywood, straps must pass over
the top. Secure your safety straps to the carriage top flaps
slotted holes (the metal frame) and to the plywood brackets only
(Refer to the drawings for tie down slot locations).
• Maintain a manageable speed - The wind’s effects on sheets of
plywood or panel goods, as well as the higher center of gravity,
can make hoisting difficult and dangerous.
• Check all tie-down connections. Safety straps may come loose
during transport. Always check strap for damage or wear. Re
place when damaged or worn.
• Do not lift plywood/sheet goods when winds exceed 15 mph.
