THE PAL - PORTABLE AQUATIC LIFT 

 

 

Product Overview 

 
The PAL-Portable Aquatic Lift is a portable lift system designed so that individuals with disabilities and 
mobility impairments can have universal access to any type of swimming pool or spa. The PAL is 
powered by a 24 volt rechargeable battery operated by a screw-driven electronic actuator that provides 
the lifting and turning motions. S.R. Smith has designed the safest possible lift system, following all 
instructions in the owner’s manual, and all product labels is necessary to achieve safe, reliable and 
proper performance of the lift and avoid injury. This design ensures consistent safe operation and 
minimizes service problems. The PAL is designed to provide flexibility for aquatic facilities seeking to 
provide access to more than one pool or spa, or to accommodate a user’s desire to enter a single pool in 
multiple locations. The PAL is available in a Hi-Lo version for facilities with both in-ground pools and 
above-ground spas, as well as a Spa version for above-ground pools and spas. The maximum lift 
capacity for all PAL models is 300 lb/136 kg. Only persons healthy enough for water activities should use 
the PAL. Users should consult with their physician to determine if water activities are appropriate for the 
User. 

 
WARNING: The PAL lift is designed to transfer (lift) users from the deck surrounding the 
swimming pool/spa into the water and back again. It is not designed to transport users from place 
to place. Serious injury can result if the lift is moved while a user is in the seat.
