    BASE FOR NARROW LANDINGS The base for narrow landings (Fig. 87) offers the advantage of avoiding the first step of the next flight of stairs and to manoeuvre the load in even narrower spaces. When the operator, during the ascent phase, is preparing to perform the landing operation specified in the user manual of the Domino Automatic trolley (chapter 7.4), you must position the narrow landing base onto the landing so that the crawler tracks of the trolley can climb directly onto this accessory, instead of resting on the ground (see Fig.

This accessory allows you to load/unload the photocopiers into/from the van from outside (Fig. 94 below), so that the overall clearance limits will depend on the photocopier, without the trolley influencing them.
