2. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
1. Frame Construction
Frame is constructed of U.S. made mechanical quality steel purchased in mill run quantities.
Frame is primarily 2" square tubing with 11 gauge wall thickness. Different tubing sizes and wall
thickness shall be used as required through engineering stress analysis.
Frames are fully welded (not bolt together) for maximum structural integrity and minimum mainte-
nance when possible. However, larger machines have a bolt-together configuration to facilitate
movement through smaller doorways and difficult installations.
2. Frame Finish
Prior to applying finish, each part is sandblasted to prepare the surface for maximum adhesion.
The frames are coated with an electrostatically applied epoxy powder coat finish applied in
powder form and then baked at 400 degrees F. This results in a smooth, consistent finish which is
very hard, assuring scratch and chip resistance.
3. Weight Selection
Weights are selected by using a 7/16” selector pin, which completely penetrates the weight plate
and locks in place to eliminate any chance of disengaging during use.
The selector pin is connected to the top weight to eliminate loss or substitution of substandard
pins.
4. Weight Plates
Machined from solid, 1” thick steel. Finish is wrinkle black powder coat.
5. Weight Plate Bushings
Each plate (not just the top weight) will contain low friction bushings, which surround the guide
rods to minimize friction and noise.
