This guidance assists in the selection of a suitable powered lifting platform
When selecting a powered lifting platform, consider if the needs of the user are likely to change in the future. Select a lifting platform with a rated load that is capable carrying the maximum foreseeable load.
Where either manual or automatic operation are optionally available for devices such as doors, barriers or hinged platforms, consider which is more appropriate for the user.
1. Control (operating) devices
Consider the position, type and number of operating controls that would suit users with different disabilities.
Consider whether a key switch, electronic card or similar means is necessary to restrict the use of lifting platforms to authorised users.
2. Location of the lifting platform
Check if the proposed location of the lifting platform is suitable. For example, check the following:
a) that the installation will not obstruct normal activities in and around the building,
b) that the site location proposed supporting structure is strong enough to support the lifting platform,
c) that adequate wheelchair manoeuvring space will be available at each landing level served (approx. 1500 x 1500 mm).
3. Electrical supply and lighting
Ensure that a suitable electrical supply is available.
Ensure that adequate lighting is available on the landings.
4. Operating/emergency instructions:
Ensure that operation of the lifting platform is demonstrated to the user and that the user is fully instructed on its safe use including
a. instructions on the correct emergency operating procedure in case of breakdown,
b. the names, addresses and telephone numbers of persons to contact for emergency services.
5. Alarm system:
Consideration should be given to the desirability of providing an alarm system.
