2. Check points when ramps are lowered to the container floor. ** During lowering operation, NO ONE IS TO GO UNDER THE RAMP. ** When operating the ramps down and up again, pay attention to the sound of the mechanism. It should be the normal sound of screw and a nut when moving together and not the sound of metal pieces grating against each other with squeal noises. A. Check any damage to the sling connecting frame and winch

B. Check any dents to the winch holder and hook holder, make sure they are functional.

C. Check signs of wear or cut to the strip attached to the winch.

D. Check greasing hole not blocked/damaged.

E. Strip pan, and lockings are at correct position (locked), and pins locked too.

Bad example, unlocked and pin not in position.

F. Check any damages to wheel supports, ramping plates, frames, etc.

Tool set. Normally, as recommended by TRI, drill should be angle drill of Milwaukee Super Hawg 1680-21

model B, or Makita DA4031, both should have ½ inch socket size. RPM should be less than 300-450, and power should be over 1000 watt (preferably 1200-1500watt). While for empty ramp operation, we may need low running speed 300-450 rpm, and around 1000 watt only (as long as the empty ramp could be lowered and lifted).
