APPENDIX A – SITE CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS
To determine the site configuration, there are several factors that need careful attention.
1 - Available Floor Space
Each unit has a footprint of 12’ 8” (3.9 m) wide by 17’ 3”’ (5.26 m) deep, including the loading platform.
Depending on the site topography, the actual configuration will vary.
2 - Ceiling Clearances
The ceiling height requirement is 12’ 10” (3.9 m) with a pathway of approximately 4’ (1.2 m) wide at the
top, 2’ (0.61m) either side of center.
3 - Floor Loading Capabilities
Floors must be able to support the weight of the units. To obtain this information, consult an engineer or an
architect.
Approximate Unit Weight – 4200 lbs (1909 kg)
Load Distribution per Square Foot – 25.26 lbs (11.4 kg)
4 - Aisle Clearance
Consult local building codes. A minimum of 6’ (1.83 m) is recommended, but should not supersede the
local building codes.
5 - Entrances & Exits
Egress routs must be clear and unobstructed. Local building codes will dictate.
6 - Environment
Keep facility operating temperature reasonably stable. Temperatures less than 80 degrees Fahrenheit with
humidity levels less than 60% would keep patrons comfortable and keep equipment functioning well. Also,
for the best visual effect, facility lighting should be kept low.
Warning – If the environment is not stable it will cause damage to the electronic
equipment.
7 - Floor Finishes
A carpeted floor is the preferred floor finish. Tiled floors and bare concrete floors are okay but may require
placing the machine on an anti-slip pad.
8 - Truck Routes
Depending on the size of the purchase, there could be a need to have access to the facility capable of
accommodating large freight trucks, which require maneuvering room.
9 - Docking
Obtain and forward dock heights before shipping arrangements are made so that accommodations can be
made for the ease of unloading.
10 - Freight Elevators
When installing units that are above the ground or dock level of your facility, examination of freight
elevators for capacities, size and operability is necessary. Schedule time and operators for the day of
delivery where applicable.
