OPERATION

HOW THE AMERIGLIDE 

STRATOS WORKS

The AmeriGlide Stratos Vertical Platform Lift is AC 

powered via 115V AC, 15A, single phase, 60Hz. It is 

available with an optional “Battery Backup” system 

for instances where the AC power goes out. 

The lift is interlocked and will not operate unless all 

auxiliary gates and appropriate safeties are engaged. 

The lift will raise or lower once a control input is 

activated - whether from a call station or from the 

platform. The platform controls will always override 

a call station. In either case, a control switch must 

be continually pressed for the platform to move. 

The lifting/lowering of the platform is achieved with 

a 2/3 hp electric motor and gear box driving an ACME 

screw. That screw system connects to the platform 

carriage which in turn supports the platform. The 

platform automatically stops at the desired landing.

The lift has several advanced safety systems based 

on the status of various sensors and switches 

located in the tower and at landings. Once a lift is at 

a landing, the gates/doors will be unlocked and are 

able to be opened. 

LIFT OPERATION 

CALL/SEND 

If the platform is not at your desired landing, 

you will need to “call” or “send” for it. A Call/

Send Control is located at the landing or in the 

gate frame. The Call/Send Control may have a key 

lock. Please ensure the key is rotated to the “On” 

position. Then, to call or send the platform, simply 

press the Up or Down button, continuously, until the 

platform comes to a full stop at the desired landing.  

If unit has 3-Stops (landings) the mid landing Call/

Send will “call” the platform to you when both the 

up and down buttons are pressed simultaneously.

NOTE: There is a short delay in pressing any call send 

button before the lift reacts.   

ENTERING THE PLATFORM

Enter the platform either by opening the door 

towards you or moving through the opening. Move 

to the center of the platform while closing the door 

behind you. If your mobility device has a brake, 

make sure to engage it. See Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1

Prior to every use, please be sure to look around 
the lift for any signs of damage. Visually inspect 
anchoring bolts and tower braces and make sure 
that they are securely in place. Do not use lift if 
there are any missing or damaged fasteners or other 
components, they need to be replaced by a qualified 
technician to ensure continued safe operation.
