Lift Terminology

The control box is equipped with
two color-coded rocker switches,
(UNFOLD/FOLD and DOWN/UP).
The switches activate the auto-
matic lift functions.  Details
regarding the control switches
and their functions are provided in
the Pre-Lift Operation section
(page 13).

Lift Frame:  The lift frame
consists of the base plate, two
towers, the parallel arms, the
vertical arms, platform pivot arms
and the handrails.  The two main
hydraulic cylinders are housed in
the parallel arms.  The electrical/
hydraulic powered lift frame
components mechanically 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 platform
section (each section consiting of
a steel tubing frame with grating
surface).  The inboard roll stop
and bridge plate assembly (IB) is
mounted to the inboard platform
section.  The outboard platform
section is equipped with the
outboard roll stop.

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 14 and 15.

Outboard Roll Stop:  The spring
loaded automatic outboard roll
stop provides a ramp for wheel-

  Lift Components

Refer to the Lift Terminology
Illustration on page 2.

Pump Module:  The lift-mounted
pump module consists of the
hydraulic pump, the manual hand
pump and electrical components
that power the lift electric/hydrau-
lic systems.  Note:  A green
power/interlock indicator light is
built into the pump module (see
page 5 for further details).

Hand-Held Switch Control Box:
The “quick-disconnect” hand-held
control switchbox is connected to
the pump module.  “Quick-
disconnect” hand-held controls
are available with three types of
cable (standard, armored and
coiled).
