5. For Pit Mounted Lifts - the pit has been poured 1/2" – 3/4" deeper than the total
thickness of the carriage platform for shim and grout as required.
6. For Through-Floor or Shaft Installations – when clearances are tight, you may choose
to position the carriage after the beams have been assembled and raised into place.
For these installations, refer to Figure 18 to see how to properly lay out and locate
the beams prior to setting the carriage.
