Sky Climber Sky Rig Assembly Instructions Manual page 3

1. Assemble beam using beam tube or splice plates. The 16-foot Sky Rig Package (Part number 3835-ABT)
consists of one 2-foot beam connection tube, two end beams, and two Sky Rig rolling rig dolly assemblies with
casters, jacks, and weight bars.
2. Install casters on Sky Rig Dolly frames and pin in place.
3. Raise the mast to the desired height and insert the retaining pin. Loosen the t-handles on the mast head.
Insert and pin a jack on each side of the stanchion. Repeat with second mast.
4. Install jacks and pin in place.
5. Insert the assembled I-beam through the mast head of the front stanchion until you reach the desired amount
of outreach. Tighten the t-handles. Insert other end of I-beam through the mast head of the rear stanchion
until about 3 inches of the beam extends beyond the mast head (packages 3835-ABT and 3835-BBT).
6. Insert two counterweight bars and pin in place.
7. Check chart to determine maximum amount of outreach for your application. If a strongback is required see
package 3835-CBT.
8. Roll the assembled Sky Rig into the desired location. Crank the jacks until the load is removed from the casters
and the roof rig is level.
9. Slide the correct number of counterweights (see chart on page 6) onto the longhorn rods. Slide the large
washers onto the rods and place a bale clip or nut and bolt through the ends of the rods to retain the
counterweights.
10. Attach the tie back wire rope to the hole in the rear of the I-beam or the shackle of the suspension rope and
tie back to a substantial building structure*.
*Substantial building structures are defined and verified as an anchor point designed and confirmed in writing by an engineer,
with a 4:1 safety factor versus the rating of the hoist being used.
11. Attach the suspension wire rope assembly to the hole in the front of the I-beam.
