VIDEO INFORMATION
This video will give you the information you need to change the height settings of your Load Saver shipping frame. Also, refer to the instructions sheets under the Truck and Rail tabs. The frame is specifically designed to be adjusted with the use of a forklift -- not by hand. The forklift driver can complete the steps being demonstrated. There are 2 pin configurations on each frame.
The shorter pin (set pin) cannot be removed when under pressure. This means when the empty top tier is at a set height, the set pins are unmovable by design. The longer pin (safety pin) is the secondary design meant to insure the lack of movement.
For shipping purposes, the frame is set at the lowest possible height (lowest hole). This is how you receive the frame. At this point, you should determine how high the tier needs to be. This decision depends on the size of the load being inserted into the shipping frame. (Remember, you can change this decision (height) to fit any load in your facility). To change the height, follow these steps:

This decision depends on the size of the load being inserted into the shipping frame. (Remember, you can change this decision (height) to fit any load in your facility). To change the height, follow these steps:
- Disengage the safety pins from all 4 corners (truck version has 2 pins in opposite corners; rail has pins - all corners) by rotating & pulling the pin out from the locked position until it clears the leg.
- The safety pin insures there will not be any pinch points. The ease of this system is critical during the hectic movements required within your facility. Forklift drivers adapt quickly and appreciate the engineered design which makes their tasks seamless.
- The forklift has the tier raised, the set pins can now be removed. The forklift driver can complete this step.
- While the forklift has the tier raised, the set pins can now be removed. The forklift driver can complete this step.
- The forklift driver can now raise the top tier to the desired height.
- Place the set pins in the holes that coincide with the desired height, making sure all set pins are in the proper height hole.
- The forklift driver can lower the upper tier into the "V" shaped leg slot.
- Push in all the safety pins in place.
- The truck version holds a maximum weight of 1400# on top with a full maximum weight of both tiers not to exceed 4000#.
- The rail version holds a maximum weight of both tiers not to exceed 8000#.
