Lift Terminology Lift Terminology
Lift Frame: The lift frame con-
sists of the base plate, threshold
warning plate, towers, parallel
arms, vertical arms, platform
pivot arms and handrails. Two
main hydraulic cylinders are
housed in the parallel arms.
The electrical/hydraulic powered
lift frame components mechani-
cally unfold, lower, raise and fold
the lift platform assembly.
Platform Assembly: The lift
“stacking” platform assembly is
made up of an inboard platform
section and an outboard plat-
form sections (each section con-
sisting of a steel tubing frame
with grating surface). The inner
roll stop/bridge plate assembly
(IB) is mounted on the inboard
platform section. The outboard
platform section is equipped with
the outer barrier.
Lift-Tite ™ Latches: The spring-
loaded latches prevent the
platform from unfolding from the
stowed position in the event of
platform drift. Further details
regarding Lift-Tite
™ latches are
provided on pages 16 and 17.
Outer Barrier: The spring-loaded
automatic outer barrier (outboard
roll stop) provides a ramp for
wheelchair loading and unloading
at ground level. Photos and

lustration on page 4.
Pump Module: The lift-mounted
pump module consists of the
hydraulic pump, the manual
hand pump, the electronic control
board and electrical components
that power the lift electric/hydrau-
lic systems.
Hand-held Pendant Control:
The hand-held attendant's
pendant control is connected to
the pump module. The hand-
held pendant is equipped with
two rocker switches, (UNFOLD,
FOLD, DOWN, and UP). The
momentary switches activate the
automatic lift functions.
