Hook Box - LectroTruck LTA6512 Owner's Manual

Hook Box

The Hook Box is an accessory designed to be mounted into the bed of a truck (or the floor of a trailer),
so the user can operate the Lectro-Truck as a powered lift-gate. The Hook Box works the best in
standard trucks, as some trucks with lift kits or off-road packages are too high for the Lectro-Truck to
reach. See the following chart to find out if a Hook Box can work for you.

The LTA4512 does not have a leverage/ hook bar, and thus, cannot be used with the
NOTE
Hook Box. However, the LTA4512 does work well with loading product onto low trailers.
Installation of the Hook Box
1. Position your hook box in the approximate center of your truck from side to side.
2. Position your hook box front to rear by dropping your hook bar with hook box connected and aligning
your hand truck so that the front edge of your wheels are flush with the back edge of your truck bed-
as shown in Figure 17. For reference, the edge of the hole is 28" (71.12 cm) from the back edge of
your truck or trailer.
3. Cut a hole in the bed of your truck or trailer. The hole must be large enough to accommodate the
recessed part of hook box (4¼" x 4¾" or 10.80 cm x 12.07 cm). Drill four 3/8" (.95 cm) holes where
desired in lip of the Hook Box, through the truck bed and secure with four 3/8" bolts. Do not weld. The
box must be bolted in place.
If you position your hook too far back from the edge of your truck bed, the Inner Frame
NOTE
will drag against the tailgate when loading or unloading. When properly installed, Hook
Box and Lectro Truck should look as shown in Figure 17 (right) above.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the pick-up's tailgate for any load exceeding 500 pounds (227
kg). If the tailgate is to be used, the dimensions shown above would be measured from
end of tailgate in it's lowered position.
