2.1.12 Boat Transporter <br />The boat transporter is a scissor type jack which is used inside the retort vessel during the <br />loading and unloading of boats. The boat transporter rides on two angle rails on the top of <br />the scissor lift transport cart. These rails mate with two rails inside the retort vessel when <br />the scissor lift cart is offered up to the door of the retort. <br />Figure 2.16 - Boat Transporter <br />The boat transporter includes removable aluminum bar handle which is used to push the <br />boat transporter into the retort vessel. The hydraulic hand pump attached to the handle is <br />used to raise and lower the boat transporter table, so elevation of the boats may be <br />adjusted for loading and unloading. <br />The boat transporter must be removed from the retort during the retorting operation. <br />A locking mechanism is supplied on the scissor lift transport cart to prevent the boat <br />transporter from accidentally rolling off the end of the cart (Figure 2.19). This latch should <br />be in place whenever the scissor lift transport cart and boat transporter are not docked <br />against the retort. The boat transporter table must be in the lowered position for proper <br />engagement of the lock. Release the lock just prior to operating the boat transporter to its <br />higher position. <br />U:3
