Attaching Backbone Stiffeners
All Vortek NXT hoist installations require the use of aluminum backbone stiffeners installed on top of
the hoist backbone with two 3/8" threaded rods, four nuts and two steel backbone clamps.
Note:
Assemble the backbone stiffener and hardware kit to the hoist as follows:
1:
Turn the backbone stiffener on edge with the chamfered corner down and towards the beam
clamps, then slide it under the center lip of the backbone.
2:
Repeat this process for the opposing side.
3:
Insert the threaded rod through the beam clamp while threading the nut onto the lead end.
4:
Continue pushing the rod into the hole on the backbone stiffener and start threading the second
nut onto the lead end; the threaded rod will run into and through the second beam clamp.

If there is something that obstructs you from using backbone stiffeners, you have the
option to use a third set of beam clamps. For additional information, contact your
ETC representative.
