Primarily utilized to provide an accessibility solution when a shaftway is already in place.
A shaftway vertical platform lift is designed for enclosed shaftway applications in public and private facilities at travel heights up to 168″.
Commercial applications
Where the travel is greater than 60 inches, the lift must be enclosed. If a contractor has built a shaft for the lift to operate within, it is a Shaftway Lift.
The entrance doors to the lift can be provided by others or ordered with the lift.
The hoistway must be designed to allow for the lift, running clearances, and structural requirements.
*Keep in mind that VPL hoistway doors are required to be flush to the interior of the hoistway to prevent shear/pinch points.
