Strongbacks<br />
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS<br />
This section covers a few of the conditions that will normally require the use of wood or steel strongbacks. If your project has panel configurations that<br />
are similar to the conditions shown in this section, it is very likely strongbacks will be required to lift the panels. Please remember that this is a guideline<br />
of some of the more common cases and does not cover all of the many possible requirements for strongbacks.<br />
PANELS WITH STEPPED BOTTOMS<br />
1. The bottom of the panel must be relatively straight in order for it to rotate properly. When a portion of the bottom end of<br />
the panel does not contact the ground, a strongback leg may be rebuilt to provide support for the panel. The three step<br />
conditions shown represent cases where strongbacks may be required to provide support.<br />
Super-Lift<br />
PANELS WITH SLOPED BOTTOMS<br />
2. When the bottom of a panel slopes, strongback legs may be required to ensure the panel lifts straight. As a general rule,<br />
if the slope of the bottom end of the panel has a rise of 4” or more per 10’ of panel width, strongback legs will be<br />
required. The following conditions are common and will normally need strongback legs to lift.<br />
