Uncrating Vortek NXT Hoist
The wooden shipping container is a two-piece unit. The top portion that consists of the top, ends and
sides are one unit. There is a bottom skid that the Vortek NXT hoist rides on.
1:
The crate top is secured to the bottom skid with wood screws. Remove the screws, four on each
side and two on each end.
2:
Lift the crate top off the bottom skid.
3:
Cut the banding and remove the poly sheeting from the hoist. Two backbone stiffeners and the
Vortek NXT Hoist Installation Kit will be loosely attached on top of the unit. If you are not able
to use backbone stiffeners, a third set of beam clamps may be provided. Remove these items and
place them in a safe location. They will be required during this installation procedure.
