Our skilled installers offer the experience of over 10,000 machine installations. This experience, coupled with their intimate knowledge of the product and equipment, is what makes our installation team second to none.

J&D usually delivers via its own truck or via one of our partner carriers. The driver is also one of our skilled installers. Two installers are generally used to complete the installation. Complex installations may require additional labor.

Considerations for installation:

• Dock access is needed for unloading the machinery.
• A significant amount of the installation is completed prior to standing the machine, while it is still on its side on the floor. On average, a 30’ x 40’ area should be cleared and available for the installation process.
• 12" of clearance from the top of the machine to the ceiling is needed to stand the machine. (Building codes in some areas require clearance up to 18".)
• A 3,000 lb forklift truck is required for equipment installation.
• The average installation takes about six hours once the machinery is off the truck.
• Electrical requirements: 480V/230V (+/- 10%), 3-phase, 60 Hz, 20 amp. dedicated circuit.
• Hardwire or plug capabilities, with NEMA L15-20R socket is needed for plug-in.
• Care is taken to make sure the machine is square and level and that the appropriate safety accessories are installed.
• Thunderstuds are used to secure the machinery to the floor (length is determined by seismic considerations).
• During the test run, final adjustments are made to insure that the chain has proper tension and that the hooks and carriers are properly installed.
• Once the installation is complete, the area will be cleaned of shipping materials and debris.
• As a final step, our installer will provide Product Knowledge Training to the appropriate personnel.

We are confident that the installation process will be a pleasant experience for your company, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to serve you!
