Quick check for determining overhead required:
For 1 Stage Jack
For 2 Stage Jack
A) Car Speed = Up to 150 FPM
B) Top Overtravel = 5"
C) Bottom Overtravel = 12"
D) Pit Depth = 4'-0"
E) Cab Height = 8'-0"
A) Car Speed = Up to 150 FPM
B) Top Overtravel = 5"
C) Bottom Overtravel = 10"
D) Pit Depth = 4'-0"
E) Cab Height = 8'-0"
One Stage Jack Overhead Requirement:
Minimum of 12'-0" overhead required for 12'-0" of travel and under. If over 12'-0" travel, overhead must equal or be greater than total travel.
Two Stage Jack Overhead Requirement:
Minimum of 12'-8" overhead required for 20' of travel and under. Add ½" to 12'-8" for every additional 1" of travel over 20'-0".
*To allow for variations in cab designs, an increase in the maximum inside net platform area not exceeding 5%, shall be permitted for the various rated loads.
GENERAL NOTE:
1 lb. = 0.454 kg 1ft2 = 9.29 E-2m2
