Which installation task involves securely mounting on concrete or wood studs?

• A. Hoistway Travel Check
• B. Mast Installation
• C. Safety Guidelines
• D. Electrical Conduit

Answer: (B)

Securing major structural components to the building frame is the key idea here. The mast serves as a vertical support that must be anchored directly to the building’s structural elements—concrete at the base or wood studs in the wall—using appropriate anchors or through-bolts. This ensures the mast stays plumb, level, and capable of handling the dynamic loads of the escalator or moving walk. Properly chosen fasteners, appropriate for concrete or wood, and verification of plumb and load rating are essential parts of this task. The other options relate to travel checks, safety procedures, or electrical routing, which do not involve attaching a load-bearing member to the building structure.
