Forklift Kit Wheel Stop Model:
The below expanded view shows some of the parts for the Adjustable Wheel Stop kit assembly along with the shipped parts for assembly modification. The naming convention indicated here will be used throughout the guide.
Basic Guidelines:
- Follow AWS D1.1 weld standards.
- The filler wire used must conform to ANSI / AWS A5.18 standards. (ER70S-3 or ER70S-6 is preferred)
- All welds are overhead, use proper gear and caution.
- Remove paint and weld on a clean surface.
- If weld removal is necessary, use proper tools but do not remove base metal.
- Refer to Engineering Weld Prints at the end of the bulletin.
- Use primer and paint on all new weld surfaces.
Procedure:
- Disconnect 7-way wiring from R/S wheel stop
- (If applicable) disconnect back-up camera wiring from R/S wheel stop
- Support adjustable wheel stop for removal. Use a 1.1/8’’ Wrench with 1.1/8’’ socket and impact to remove adjustable wheel stop bolts on R/S & C/S (4 bolts per wheel stop)
Note: If your unit is not equipped with the Hinge / Hanger Tube Assembly follow steps 7 through 12 and 17 through 19.
- Tack weld the provided gusset (9100-0202 for 102” and 9100-0203 for 96” wide trailers) to the crossmember and the hinge tube weldment. If multiple gussets are provided, use the longer gusset in this location. (Refer to the expanded view at the end of the bulletin for the naming convention of each part)
- Weld the gusset plate to both sides of the crossmember and the inside edge of the tube weldment. (Weld drawings at the end of the bulletin)
- Weld base plate along the length to the tube weldment and the gusset. Make sure the base plate or the spacer bar are not welded to the side rail.
Note: If you have performed steps 4 through 6 please skip step 7.
- For the units without the hinge/hanger tube weldment assembly, follow steps 7 through 12. Then steps 17 through 19. Inspect and make sure welds exist in the below locations.
- Weld both spacer-bars to the bottom flange of the crossmembers in the shown locations. In some cases, you will have weld access for one crossmember only.
- Insert spacer blocks (4370-0110) between the wheel stop mounting plate and crossmember centered on bottom of the crossmember.
Note: Depending on floor sill layout some units will only require 2 spacer blocks per wheel stop.
- Weld front and back of spacer blocks to bottom of the crossmember
- Weld bottom inside edge of spacer block to mounting plate at the front and rear crossmembers
- Weld center crossmember spacer block to inside edges of mounting plate
- Weld the remaining two gussets as shown – the arrow points to the location of the welds. In this case, the front gusset is welded to the crossmember as well. Always make sure the gusset is welded to the center of the crossmember flange and not the edge.
The below section view shows the two new gussets and the spacer blocks installed. Notice that in this case the front gusset is not welded to the crossmember.
- Install spacer plates (2) 9100-0201 when re-installing the adjustable wheel stop. Do not weld the spacer plate.
- Make sure track weldment sits flush, and there is no weld intereference.
- If trailer is a 96’’ wide unit, grind out and remove welds from the mounting plate to bottom of the siderail.
- Paint welded areas and spacer blocks
Note: Paint / Primer / Catalyst will need to be purchased by repair center
- Re-connect 7-way wiring
