3.3: Site Preparation
When preparing to install a Trus-T-Lift, there are a few things that you should consider.
The support base for the Trus-T-Lift must be solid and capable of anchoring and supporting
the base frame. We recommend a 60 by 60-inch concrete pad approximately 4 inches thick.
The pad should be level within a 1/2 inch and smooth with no projections.
The travel distance of a Trus-T-lift is measured
from the support base to the upper landing sill. Trus-T-
Lift is available in 7 different maximum lifting heights
from 28” to 14ft. Each tower can travel a maximum
distance indicated by the model number. The model
shown in this manual is a 52” tower and can be easily set
to automatically stop at any point up to a maximum of 52
inches lifting height.
The travel wall is a barrier that extends from the
upper landing sill to the support base and helps to keep
the user secure on the platform while operating the lift. This wall must be plumb, smooth, and
solid with no projections.
Another consideration is the power source for the lift. Make sure there is a standard
15A/110VAC outlet within 6 feet of the tower location.
DANGER
If the travel wall is not prepared in compliance with the above statement, possible crushing or
shearing hazards may be present and this will likely cause serious injury or harm.
The Trus-T-Lift is available in two different platform configurations, straight through
and 90-degree access. The straight through model has its entrance and exit on either side of
the lift, while the 90-degree access allows the user to exit 90-degrees opposite the tower on
the upper level. Note that the lower entrance side with the toeplate ramp can be changed from
the left or right side of the tower.
