PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This product is a Platform Lift. It is not a cargo lift; and, it is not a
residential elevator. These three product families—cargo lift, platform lift
and residential elevator—are differentiated by their design, build and
intended functionality. Accordingly, the design and build of each of these
products is controlled by different codes; and, each product within these
families should therefore only be operated according to its intended
functionality.
A platform lift is designed to carry human passengers. Design and build
considerations in this product properly accommodate its intended
functionality—human transport. Nonetheless, it is very important for each
product owner to accept responsibility for safe operations in the use of this
product. It is important to read and heed the safety instructions provided in
this manual, always.
The platform lift is designed to move between two or three levels of a
structurally sound building. It is typically mounted outside the structure,
and typically not in an enclosed runway. This external mounting is one of
the physical distinctions that separate the platform lift from the residential
elevator that is typically mounted within an enclosed runway with lockable
doors protecting the hoist way from unintended human intervention.
The Legacy Lifts® Platform Lift includes a cabin size of approximately 3.6’
X 4’ (maximum 15 SF); a carrying load capacity of 500 pounds; and, travels
up to 18 feet per minute. There is a natural balance between carrying
capacity and travel speed that is inherent to fundamental science; and,
these designs seek optimum. It is constructed of long-lasting aluminum and
stainless steel materials including anti-skidding flooring. It may be
powered-coated for optional improvement of life and aesthetics. There are
other options available as well.
LEGACY LIFTS®, www.legacylifts.com Page 4

The Legacy Lifts® Platform Lift is supplied with a reliable control system for
executing normal up, down, emergency stop and local lockout actions.
Remote control is absent in this design for safety reasons required by code.
Constant pressure on the control is required for the lift to move.
The electrical supply shall include provisions for halting electricity supply
(locking-out) to enhance a safer product environment when the lift is not
attended. Always, lock electrical supply to “off” when not attended.
Dual beam design provides a safer and more stable lift. A durable
enclosed motor transmits electric power to the unit drive reliably. Stainless
steel aircraft quality cable is applied with winding design that reduces cable
wear. Sealed limit switches are provided for additional operating safety and
smoother controlled stops. Design flexibility allows gate placement at time
of order. All of the above features achieve a rugged design that enhances
aesthetics; offers user-friendliness; and, withstands the natural
environment that sometimes can be demanding;
Legacy Lift® reserves the right to make changes or add improvements to
Legacy Lifts® products at any time without incurring any obligation to make
such changes to products previously manufactured. Legacy Lifts® does
not accept responsibility for variations that may be evident relative to the
actual specification of its products and the statements and descriptions
contained in this publication.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The product owner is responsible for safe handling of the lift at all
times in all circumstances. Therefore, the following safety
instructions are provided for the product owner, and any other person
that the product owner may authorize to operate the lift; as, any
person operating the lift shall have previous training:

“off” position when not attended.
7. Never allow anyone to operate the lift if any of the above-stated or other
evidences of safety concern exist; and, declare the unit inoperable by
placing signage on the unit to this effect. Barricade the unit during such
an outage period to prevent access. Finally in this situation, remove
power at the main electrical breaker control box source and do not
operate again until repaired and re-certified for safe operations by
Legacy Lifts® or an Authorized Representative.
