COMMERCIAL TRUS-T-LIFT

---

Landing Gate: The landing gate is typically 42” high for commercial applications and, for safety, is equipped with an interlock that will prevent the gate from being opened if the platform is not in its full “up” position. 

Carriage Gate: This gate, which is typically 42” high, will travel with the platform as it moves up and down and is a key safety feature for taller lifts that are unenclosed. 

Note: Any Trus-T-Lift with a rise of more than 8’ in Canada or 60” in the United States needs to be fully enclosed. 

Glass & Aluminum Gate: Glass can be an attractive architectural finish and RAM can offer glass &aluminum inserts for our gates as an optional upgrade. 

Gates and doors come equipped with spring closing mechanisms as a standard, but in some applications, a powered auto-operator to open and close the gate may be required. Whether these options are required depends on the configuration and local authorities. A good rule of thumb is that all lifts with either the in- out same side, or adjacent entry-exit style should be equipped with auto-operators in commercial applications. 

Three tiers of emergency auxiliary power are available for every RAM product: 

1. Emergency manual crank (Standard) 

2. Battery backup lowering will run the motor in the down direction during a power outage (Optional) 

3. Full battery 40-cycle backup that will run the motor with full load for 40 cycles during a power outage (Optional) 

Important things to consider for the installation location:

• Power availability – 15amp, 110V dedicated circuit no more than 8 feet away

• Mounting to a wall – especially for lifts with travel greater than 52in

• For exterior installations a secure footing – typically a concrete pad 5ft x 5ft 

Designed to meet ADA, ASME A18.1 and CSA B355 safety standards when properly equipped. 

While RAM VPLs meet national standards, it is imperative to check State/Provincial and Local code requirements before installing to ensure compliance. All State/ Provincial and Local compliance is the responsibility of the purchaser. Some states may 

require fees for site preparation and permits.
