Sensor Lights

The sensor lights are mounted on the two back corners of the Top Lift Frame, where they are visible to the operator.

There is a pair of each colour stacked vertically. As discussed in, each colour indicates a different state while positioning and then attaching the Top Lift Frame to the container. To summarise, these are:

Green:

Twistlocks Locked

Amber:

Top Lift Frame sitting on Container

Red:

Twistlocks Unlocked

Flashing Red:

Twistlocks between locked and unlocked positions, note that Arms Mode is disabled in this condition.

Can also indicate a sensor failure.

Stowing the Top Lift Frame

When the Sidelifter is not in use with the Top Lift Frame attached, particularly during transporting, it will be necessary to secure the frame to the Sidelifter. This is done using stowage poles that are stowed along the lifting side long beam of the Topl Lft Frame as shown in the diagram below.

To stow and secure the Top Lift Frame, follow these steps:

  1. With the cranes and frame at the 20' position, stow the bottom crane arms. (See Diagram below)
  2. Fully extend the top arms so that the Top Lift Frame is suspended over the non-lifting side.
  3. Using the chassis pole C attached to the side of the chassis, carefully unhook each stowage pole from hook A.
  4. Attach the now loose end of each pole to the chain link at B.

  5. Now partially stow top arms carefully until the edge of the Top Lift Frame is in line with the lifting side edge of the crane bases, as indicated in the diagram below.
