Rockslide: Storage and Handling Instructions
Installing the Rockslide
-
Attach the Coupling
- Secure the coupling onto the boom truck's fork (such as those found on material handling cranes by Palfinger).
- Align the two large bolts/pins on the coupling with the holes in the fork to prevent sliding.
- Insert the pins to lock the coupling in place.
-
Insert and Secure the Telescoping Arm
- Slide the telescoping arm (5 feet long) into the slot on the coupling.
- Insert the pin through the designated hole to secure the telescoping arm firmly in place.
Detaching the Rockslide
-
Remove the Telescoping Arm
- Take out the pin securing the telescoping arm, then slide the arm out of the coupling.
-
Detach the Coupling
- Remove the pins securing the coupling to the fork.
- Lift the coupling off the boom truck's fork.
Storage Tips
- Coupling and Components: Store these in standard toolboxes.
- Telescoping Arm: Strap it securely to the truck bed for transport.
