DESCRIPTION AND TERMINOLOGY
6.1
GENERAL
The DH-PH2* and DH-PH1* are wheelchair lifts , used to assist wheelchair occupants or persons with an impaired mobility
embark and disembark the vehicle. These wheelchair lifts incorporate a number of safety devices that are not required on
commercial lifts
The DH-P2* and DH-P1* are commercial lifts derived from aforementioned wheelchair lifts. They are used to handle cargo.
In this manual the following terms will be used:
1.
Lift = refers to both wheelchair and commercial lifts
2.
Wheelchair lift = refers to wheelchair applications only
abbreviation [W]
3.
Commercial lift = refers to commercial cargo handling applications only
abbreviation [C]
In one and the same sentence, the abbreviations [W] and [C] will be used to include one type of lift and exclude the other.
DHOLLANDIA lifts are developed and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology, high quality materials and components,
and highly skilled workmanship. They comply with the European CE safety regulations mentioned in the Declaration of
Conformity issued with each lift (unless otherwise agreed for tail lifts exported outside the CE region).
The DH-P2* and DH-PH2* are fully automatic twin-arm lifts, holding the platform at both sides, providing maximum stability and
additional lift capacity.
In travel position, the platform and lift frame are stowed in upright position, just in front of the vehicle doors. Upon deployment,
the platform is tilted down from a vertical travel position to a horizontal work position. Guard rails, the bridge plate at the inboard
platform edge and roll stop at the outboard platform edge are deployed automatically.
The DH-P1* and DH-PH1* are operated by a single arm, holding the platform at 1 side only. In standard execution, they have
a fixed frame, the closed platform stands in the door aperture. Option OWU006 features a rotating frame, so that the platform
can be swung out of the way to a travel position at the side of the vehicle body.
In travel position, the platform and lift frame are stowed in upright position, just in front of the vehicle doors (standard execution),
or swung out of the way against the side of the vehicle body (option OWU006). Upon deployment, the lift frame is swung into
the door aperture (only for OWU006). Then the platform is tilted down from a vertical travel position to a horizontal work position.
The guard rail, bridge plate at the inboard platform edge and roll stop at the outboard platform edge are deployed automatically.

Description
1
Lift frame: steel assembly incorporating the lift arms and lift cylinders, who together carry the platform. The lift frame is
mounted in a fixed position on the vehicle floor.
2
Lift arms + lift cylinders: 2 lift arms L+R actuated by the lift cylinders, used to lift / lower the platform and its load (=
functions UP / DOWN).
3
Platform: carries the load during lifting / lowering. It is equipped with a bridge plate at the inboard platform edge and a roll
stop at the outboard platform edge. The guard rails for the platform are integrated in the 2 lift arms.
[W]
→
Platform in mesh steel, evacuating rainwater, snow, dirt, etc. quickly through the platform surface.
[C]
→
Steel platform frame filled with aluminium profiles with non-slip ripples.
3a
Platform wings [OWU002 = vertical split platform]: the platform incorporates 2 articulated platform sections that swing
down and form a closed platform surface when the lift is deployed in its work position; and swing up and create an open
space between the lift arms when the lift is stowed in its travel position.
3b
Platform main section [OWU003 = horizontally foldable platform]: inboard main section of the foldable platform, attached
to the lift arms.
