Page 5 ILD Plus Installation Manual 4 Mounting Requirements Minimum Bed Height dimensions are ALWAYS MAXIMUM LOADED TRUCK. Maximum Bed Height dimensions are ALWAYS DRY UNLOADED TRUCK. Installing a gate at or close to minimum bed height normally results in a gate that will NOT open and close from stored position if the minimum floor height is exceeded when truck is loaded. Ensure truck body or trailer rear door does not interfere with installation or operation of liftgate ILD series liftgate. The ILD series cannot be installed with "barn" or "swing" type doors without extensive modification. It is not recommended to cut, torch, or remove support materials from rear sill of truck or trailer. Installers are advised to sub-frame or flush sills as required. Removing gussets, stiffeners, light rings, or other such support structures may VOID your truck/trailer warranty. Call tech support before starting the installation if you have any questions or concerns on mounting dimensions or procedures… 888-774-5844 Revision 1.7 Page 6 ILD Plus Installation Manual Step 1 Measure Floor Height and determine clearance requirements for your liftgate platform size. Step 2 Check chart below to ensure that your gate is compatible with bed height of the vehicle. 10" 12" 74-1/2" Bed Level 15-1/4" 58" Max.

Page 8 ILD Plus Installation Manual Step 4 Determine liftgate width requirements The ILD series liftgate is offered in two standard widths for 96” and 102” wide bodies. Outside Frame Width Inside Frame Width 74-1/2" Bed Height 15-1/4" Nominal Truck or Trailer Width 96” Wide Body 102” Wide Body Revision 1.7 Liftgate Outside Frame 94” 100” Liftgate Inside Frame 84” 90” Liftgate Platform Width 80” 86” Page 9 ILD Plus Installation Manual 5 Body Preparation Step 1 Remove any sill or corner post mounted lights, grab handles, or bumpers. Your goal is to have a flat and flush mounting surface for the liftgate. Truck and trailers applications with flush corner post and sill and NO protruding gussets or stiffeners are the most straight forward of all ILD installations. Rear of body should be 90` to ground as shown. It is not recommended to cut, torch, or remove support materials from rear sill of truck or trailer. Installers are advised to sub-frame or flush sills as required. Removing gussets, stiffeners, light rings, or other such support structures may VOID your truck body or trailer warranty. Step 2 Be certain that under ride bumpers, trailer hitches, or other auxiliary equipment do not extend rearward of rear sill. Use the following illustrations as a guide. Bed Level Bed Level Rear Sill Rear Sill Rear Bumper Needs to be mounted Flush with Sill. Rear Bumper Flush with sill. 90° Revision 1.7 Page 10 ILD Plus Installation Manual Step 3 Trailer Hitches are common truck or trailer equipment and are compatible the ILD series. Two considerations for mounting or moving are; Hitch can NOT extend rearward of rear sill and liftgate will extend rearward an additional 12”. Bed Level Rear Sill Hitch or other Equipment must NOT extend rearward of rear sill. Revision 1.7 Page 11 ILD Plus Installation Manual Step 4 Some trailer configurations will have irregular shaped sills. Liftgate mounting surface may NOT be flush with corner post. Some sills may be inset or have door gutters. All these situations are remedied with a process called sub-framing and/or flushing the sill. Sub-framing is done one of two ways; Sub-frame can be built up using correct size 3/16” or greater wall tubing before liftgate is mounted. Or, the liftgate can be mounted into position and sub-frame can be built as liftgate is installed with 3/16” or greater flat bar. In either case, liftgate installation weld procedure does not change. These examples are show below. Flushing floor or filling gap between Sill and liftgate can be done up to 6” without cross supports. Use ¼” or greater flat bar or diamond plate to span gap. Corner Post Gap between Sill and Liftgate Bed Level Liftgate Mounting Surface Corner Stiffener Liftgate Platform Surface Light Box Corner Post Corner Post Sub-Frame Flat Bar Sub-Frame Liftgate Liftgate Tubing sub-frame Revision 1.7 Flat Bar sub-frame Page 12 ILD Plus Installation Manual Step 5 Corner stiffeners are common and should NOT be removed. It is recommended to “flat bar” with same thickness as stiffener. Typically ¼” to 3/8” thick x 4” to 5” wide. Liftgate Installation weld procedure is the same. Flat Bar Corner Stiffener Flat Bar Flat Bar Corner Stiffener Revision 1.7 Page 13 ILD Plus Installation Manual Step 6 Side supports can be used to strengthen body. Refer to Mounting Requirements Step 3. Step 7 Flat bed installation may use similar arrangement with 3/16” x 4” x 4” Min. tubing for corner post and 3” channel for support bar.

Approx. 60" Revision 1.7 Page 14 ILD Plus Installation Manual 6 Liftgate Installation 6.1 Prepare Liftgate Step 1 Remove hydraulic/battery enclosure form liftgate shipping assembly package. Step 2 Remove shipping ties from all electrical harnesses and hydraulics lines and position so NOT to interfere with position of liftgate to body or welding processes. Step 3 Lower shipping feet may have to be removed for installation on some deep sills measuring more than 10” top to bottom. Step 4 Weld two (2) supports to cross beam. This will help ensure even alignment between liftgate crossbeam and body sill. Use 3” angle or channel approx 10” long. Note: steps 2, 3 & 4 are best done with liftgate hoisted with forklift or crane. This brings items to be addressed to working level. Never position any portion of body under liftgate. Remove Hydraulic enclosure Bed Height Support Channel Revision 1.7 Page 15 ILD Plus Installation Manual 6.2 Positioning Liftgate Before positioning the liftgate. Consider when measuring and centering the liftgate that the truck or trailer may NOT be square or parallel. Special care must be taken to insure that the liftgate is square and parallel before welding. Step 1 Truck should be on level and even ground. Uneven ground will give misleading measurements and can cause body twist or racking. Step 2 Preferred method for lifting liftgate is with a forklift. Position forks to widest point and lift from center. 12” or larger “C” or “F” style clamps can be used to coach or hold liftgate in position. Step 3 Use 4”x 4” x 24” wood spacers as shown. This will help force top of liftgate tight against body for welding. Should you need to force bottom portion, remove wood spacer and use the forklift against the lower portion of liftgate. Step 4 Preferred method for centering liftgate is measuring side clearances from outside of liftgate to outside of body. (centerline marked on sill is NOT easily visible.) Step 5 Verify all mounting dimensions, double check that floor and threshold extension are flush. Never remove lifting device until liftgate is fully welded. 4x4x24 Wood block Forklift forks Bed Height Support Channel Bed Level 90° Revision 1.7 Forklift not shown Page 16 ILD Plus Installation Manual 6.3 Above Floor Installation Mount the liftgate up to 6” above floor level (as shown in figure 1). Install the gate per the Installation Instructions. Do not weld the traverse yet! Figure. 1 Initial install Traverse Floor Height Vehicle Floor Height After the columns have been welded in place, remove the 4 traverse bolts, and lower the traverse to be flush with the floor. Weld into position according to the installation manual. Also weld the traverse to each column, ¼” weld by ½” long, x3 on each side. Traverse After install, lower traverse to be level with vehicle floor. Traverse bolts The above floor installation reduces the bed height limit of the lift gate. The maximum travel of the platform is 56”. For example: if the gate is mounted 6” above floor, the maximum bed height lowers to 50”. Revision 1.7 Page 17 ILD Plus Installation Manual Step 6 Check liftgate to be certain it is square and parallel. Use a 3 ft carpenters square to check column to threshold. Step 7 Use to “Dim A” and “Dim B” to verify columns are parallel. Step 8 Use “Dim C” and “Dim D” to verify columns are square. Step 9 Check that columns are also 90 degrees to sill or body. DO NOT WELD until all dimensions are checked and rechecked after each positioning adjustment. Dim "A" Dim "C" Dim "D" Square Dim "B" Revision 1.7 Page 18 ILD Plus Installation Manual 6.3 Welding Liftgate Step 1 Using ¼” x 2” welds, place one weld ½” from the top of each column on the outside and place one weld at the bottom of each dock bumper plate. STOP and recheck all mounting dimensions from “Position Liftgate” section. Step 2 Final welding for the outside of liftgate is ¼” x 100% on dock bumpers and ¼” x 2” x 5 places evenly spaced on columns top to bottom. ¼” x 2” Weld 5 places evenly spaced Keep this area clear of welds – Danger of burning the switch ¼” x 100% Weld Dock Bumper Only Revision 1.7 Page 19 ILD Plus Installation Manual Step 3 Weld inside of columns ¼” x 2” x 5 places evenly spaced top to bottom. Step 4 Weld threshold ¼” x 2” x 5 places evenly spaced left to right. ¼” x 2” Weld 5 places evenly spaced ¼” x 2” Weld 5 places evenly spaced Revision 1.7 Page 20 ILD Plus Installation Manual IMPORTANT !

Access door of enclosure is positioned 6” in from side of body. Also, it is recommended to position the hydraulic enclosure towards center of wheelbase and forward of the rear wheels when possible. - Recommended lifting device for the hydraulic enclosure is by forklift. Be certain NOT to damage hydraulic fittings on bottom of enclosure. - Standard hose kit (shipped standard with liftgate) places the front of the enclosure a maximum of 9 feet forward from the rear of the body. - Relocation kit #1 (one additional 9 ft hose) place the front of the enclosure a maximum of 18 feet forward from the rear of the body.(Recommended for 28’ to 35’ trailers) - Relocation kit #2 (two additional 9 ft hoses) place the front of the enclosure a maximum of 27 feet forward from the rear of the body. (Recommended for 48’ to 53’ Trailers) -Standard hose kit / 9ft MAX (shipped standard with liftgate) -Relocation kit #1 / 18ft MAX -Relocation kit #2 / 27ft MAX Revision 1.7 Page 22 ILD Plus Installation Manual 7.2 Welding Hydraulic Enclosure Step 1 Weld enclosure to body cross members with ¼” x 2” welds. Weld front and rear of mounting angles at front and rear of enclosure at each cross member. Minimum of four (4) cross members. Minimum ¼” x 2” welds x sixteen (16) places. Applications with Aluminum cross members will need to be bolted. Contact MBB Palfinger, Inc. Tech Support for instructions at 888-774-5844. ¼” x 2” Weld Four (4) Cross Members Min. Sixteen (16) places total. Revision 1.7 Page 23 ILD Plus Installation Manual 7.3 Hydraulic Connections To prevent leaks during shipping and storage, hydraulic connections at liftgate are plugged by connecting hydraulic lines together. DO NOT disconnect until you are ready to connect hoses to liftgate and hydraulic enclosure. Step 1 Determine best routing for hydraulic hoses. Best routing is down the center of the vehicle. However, some applications this may NOT be possible. In these applications, running the hose channels to outside of the frame rails may be necessary. Position the hose channel between tires. Step 2 Weld the hose channel to body cross members. Use 1/8” x 1” welds places every 12” min. both sides. DO NOT weld channel with hydraulic hoses or electrical wires installed. Applications with Aluminum cross members will need to be bolted. Contact MBB Palfinger, Inc. Tech Support for instructions at 888-774-5844. Revision 1.7 Page 24 ILD Plus Installation Manual Take care not to route hoses, wires, harnesses, and cables near, around, or in contact with sharp edges, air lines, vehicle electrical, exhaust system or fuel lines. Step 3 Route four (4) hydraulic hoses through hose channel. Position hoses opposite to each other. 3/8” hoses should have one male and one female exposed at each end. Position ¼” hoses in the same manor, one male and one female at each end. Step 4 Connect hydraulic hoses to the curb side of the liftgate. The hose bundle should have four (4) hoses, one (1) 3/8” male, one (1) 3/8” female, one (1) ¼” male, and one (1) ¼” female. The liftgate will have the same combination of connections. There is only one combination for each connection. Connecting: Each Connection for the hoses on the Pump have a Letter (right to left: A, B, C, D). Connect them in the right way, seen on both pictures below. The two 3/8” hoses in the lift gate will be secured to each other for packaging. These need to be disconnected to expose the male and female fittings. HYDRAULIC FLUID WILL ESCAPE FROM THE HOSES WHEN DISCONNECTED! Be ready to make the connections to limit the amount of escaping fluid. Step 4 Connect hydraulic hoses to the bottom of the Power Pack Box. The hose bundle should have four (4) hoses, one (1) 3/8” male, one (1) 3/8” female, one (1) ¼” male, and one (1) ¼” female. The box will have the same combination of connections.
