Bridge Plate:
The hinged bridge
plate assembly bridges the gap
between the lift platform and the
vehicle floor when the platform is
positioned at floor level.
When the OUT (Unfold) switch is
pressed and the platform unfolds
from stow position to floor level,
the bridge plate is automatically
deployed to the bridging (hori-
zontal) position. When the IN
(Fold) switch is pressed and the
platform folds from deployed
(horizontal) position to stowed
position, the bridge plate folds
(rotates) to the vertical position.
Automatic Floor Level Switch-
ing:
When the platform unfolds
from the stowed position, the
platform stops automatically at
floor level when fully unfolded.
When raising the platform from
ground level, the platform
automatically stops at floor level
when raised fully.
Although the VL955 features
automatic floor level switching,
the lift operator (wheelchair

the platform to
be certain
the platform is properly posi-
tioned at vehicle floor level and
the bridge plate is properly
positioned when a passenger is

If the lift platform does not

as outlined,
discontinue lift
operation immediately

Platform Assembly:
The VL955
“stacking” platform assembly is
made of an inboard platform
section and an outboard platform
section (each section consisting
of a steel tubing frame with
grating surface). The outboard
platform section is equipped with
the automatic roll stop.
