Loading Onto a Truck or Trailer (continued)
4. Push the wheels down/ load up button, and start the load on it's way up to the back of the truck.
(Figure 15). Continue lifting the load until it is all the way up. (Figure 16)
5. Disengage the hook bar from the hook box, and pull your load back. You are now in the back of the
truck, or on your trailer.
Figure 15
No one should stand under, or in the direct path of a load while it is being loaded or
unloaded from a truck or trailer.
Unloading from a Truck or Trailer
Unloading is the reverse of loading.
1. Raise the wheels of the Lectro-Truck about 4"-6" off truck bed and break the load back to a balance
point.
2. Move the Lectro-Truck and the load to the back edge of the truck or tailgate.
3. With the load resting at it's balance point, release and drop the hook bar from the Lectro-Truck.
4. Slide the hook bar into the hook box, and secure the Lectro-Truck in place.
5. Gently lean the Lectro-Truck forward until it is fully supported by the hook bar.
6. Push the load down/ wheels up" button and the load will travel to the ground.
7. When the load is on the ground, slide the hook bar out of the hook box. Fold the hook bar back in
place.
8. Tip the load slightly forward and lower the wheels to about 6" from the ground by pushing the "load
up/ wheels down" button. Once the wheels are down to the appropriate height, you are ready to move
your load.
Unloading the Lectro-Truck from a Tall Truck or Dock
If the framework of the Lectro-Truck will not allow you to reach the bed of your truck (or to the height of
the dock), construct a simple platform that will cut the distance to travel almost in half. For instance, if
your dock is 48" tall, construct a platform that is 12-24" tall, and move the load in two steps: 1 - Ground
to platform; 2 - Platform to dock.
Moving Over Rough, Irregular, and Soft Surfaces
To move loads over rough surfaces such as gravel, cracked black top, concrete - or any uneven
surfaces such as lawns, sand, or snow we recommend using an All-Terrain Wheel Attachment (Page
21), instead of a tri-pod. The tripod's hard, swivel wheels can jam on small, hard items or sink into soft
surfaces. Tri-pods should only be used on flat, smooth surfaces.
