    One person with welding skills can complete the entire installation. An efficient installation requires appropriate tools and accessible materials. A list of tools is found  in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 lists materials. The KEITH ® KICD - Container Drive owner’s manual contains more detailed information about the system and operation procedures.

    INSTALLATION MANUAL KICD - Container Drive 2.3 Hydraulic Tubing Locations Hydraulic pressure, generated by the tractor’s wet kit, powers the drive unit. Tubing must connect the drive unit to the tractor. The location of the hydraulic tubing cut holes are shown so that the tubing will line up with the drive plumbing.

    INSTALLATION MANUAL KICD - Container Drive Sub-Deck The sub-deck is the structure directly above the cross-members and underneath the floor slats. The  sub-deck consists of square steel tubing or U-shaped aluminum profiles.  The square tubing mounts  on top of the cross-members. Plastic floor bearings connect to the tubing. 3.1 Square Tubing The proper installation of the square tubing is critical for maintaining drive alignment, floor  straightness and for optimal performance of the seal located between the floor slats. Raise the drive  unit into position. Do not weld at this time. The drive unit is in place for locating the end of 25 mm x 25 mm [1 in x 1 in] tubing.

Keeping the jigs above the cross-members, clamp the jig and tubes to every other cross-member. Be sure all tubes attain the minimum overhang of 50 mm [2 in]. Remember to plan for the formed cross sill attached to the drive unit.

  • Page 13: Drive Unit

    INSTALLATION MANUAL KICD - Container Drive Drive Unit NOTE: A minimum drive opening of 1980 mm [78 in] is necessary to maneuver the drive unit. (See Page 4, Figure 4) IMPORTANT: Do not damage piston rods. Do not lift drive unit by any of the hydraulic components.

    INSTALLATION MANUAL KICD - Container Drive Height Raise drive frame cross-member to the same height of shimmed cross-member. This method gives the proper drive height as bearings are 6 mm [1/4 in] above the 25 mm x 25 mm [1 in x 1 in] tube and the drive shoes connect directly to the floor slats. See Detail F.

  • Page 15: Painting

    INSTALLATION MANUAL KICD - Container Drive 4.2 Painting The factory paints drive units with red oxide primer. 1. Confirm that the drive unit is coated well with primer. 2. Treat the drive unit and sub-deck with a finishing paint. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the following parts are protected when painting: cylinder chrome rods, switching valve chrome rod, serial plate and any decals.

    INSTALLATION MANUAL KICD - Container Drive Flooring After paint dries, the flooring can be installed. The slats slide on plastic bearings. The aluminum  floor slats are bolted to shoes on the cross drives. 5.1 Slide Bearings 1. Compare bearing dimensions with shim on the cross-member flange width. The gap in the  bearing should exceed the flange width of the shim of the cross-member. The standard bearing  gap is 62 mm [2-7/16 in]. Milling can enlarge the gap to 100 mm [4 in]. 2. Snap 6 bearings (3003 Long) 100 mm [4 in] opening on the sub-deck over the load end of cylinders.

  • Page 19: Floor Slats

    INSTALLATION MANUAL KICD - Container Drive 5.2 Floor Slats 1. Determine length of floor slats. The slats have to reach from 50 mm [2 in] from the doors to a minimum of 300 mm [12 in] from the closest point on the front wall at floor level. This implies that the maximum length of the slats  is 350 mm [13-3/4 in] shorter than the inner length of the container. For example, maximum slat length for a 150 mm [6 in] stroke unit in a 12.04 M [39 ft 6 in] container is 11.69 M [38 ft 4 in].

    The width is a minimum of 6 mm [1/4 in] narrower than the inner container width. The front shield is angled about 45 degrees. When the floor slats are in the rear position, the slide  strip must still lie fully on top of the floor slats. 2. Fabricate front shield. (KEITH Manufacturing Co. supplies this in most cases.) Form the plate and attach angled steel for support. Rivet the plastic slide strip to the shield. 3. Mount front shield.
