The building is not up yet, its at ground level yet, the way forward is going to be two rbts I think.

 Any chance you could post a couple of digi photos of the present layout, and where you want the Class 4 bay to go ?

Might be a local issue - you might want to contact your VE for a quick advisory visit.

However, if you are going to install the Class 4 ramp alongside the existing Class 7 you should - depending on the exact layout - be able to use the existing RBT for both classes.

If the two bays are going to be positioned side by side then you need a distance of 3.6 metres between centre lines of the two bays, with an all round working clearance of 0.5 metres round the new hoist.

Where is your beam tester located at present. If it's at the front of the existing bay you should be able to extend the rails across the front of the Class 4 hoist.

There's some useful info on the Transport Office website too.
