ANCHORING THE LIFT

Step 1: 

• 

Position the lift in its final location

• 

Verify that it is level and perpendicular to its surroundings.

• 

Shim if necessary.

The horizontal gap between the guard panel and any wall or barrier 

must be no less than 2

"

 and no greater than 3

"

.   

It is recommended that a gate or door be installed at the upper landing.

Verify that sufficient head room exists above the lift. The lift requires 

6

'

8

"

 of clearance above the platform floor when the lift is at the upper 

landing.

Anchors
We recommend securing the lift using our Anchor Kit. If 

you purchase your own concrete anchors they must use 

3

8

x 4

bolts with a minimum tensile strength of 6000lb. 

Step 2: Use the lift’s base as a template. Drill 4 

holes into the concrete. Verify that holes you have 

drilled are deep enough to accept the anchors. 
Step 3: Secure the lift in place by tightening the floor 

anchor bolts. 

Caution

Verify that the running clearance around the lift complies with any 

codes for your area. The horizontal gap between the edge of the 

platform and the upper landing must be noless than 

3

/

8

"

 and no 

greater than ¾

"

.

Warning

The area between the floor where the lift is mounted and the top landing must be covered by a 

smooth fascia. This is to eliminate any pinch points between the platform and landing. 

All floor anchors must be installed correctly in accordance to their instructions.

Tip

Concrete dust may have settled into the 

holes you just drilled. Use a shop vacuum 

to clean out these holes. This will ensure 

the floor anchors to set correctly.
