How to Measure the Height and Width of a 2 Passenger Lift

The total travel distance of a 2 passenger lift is determined by the number of floors it serves, and the amount of time the passengers must spend in the elevator before reaching their destination. The distance also affects the capacity of the lift and the jerk and friction qualities of the landing floor. The total number of floors a lift serves and the number of users in a building will also determine the number of passenger lifts needed. The number of doors and the total travel distance will also influence the lift's traffic performance and efficiency.

The height of a 2 passenger lift must be measured in accordance with SAE Recommended Practice J578 (1995) and SS 571.5. The height of the platform and its distance from the threshold area are to be determined perpendicular to the surface of the vehicle. The height of the lift should be at least three times higher than the vehicle's height and width. The width of a 2 passenger lift must be at least eight feet wide, with a minimum of three feet of space in between the platform and the top of the elevator.

In addition, the height of the 2 passenger lift must be measured from the threshold area to the vehicle's interior. The platform should be level with the car's threshold. The height of the platform should be at least nineteen inches above the ground. If the height of the platform is above the threshold, it must be marked "down" or "up" on the control. If the platform is too high, the lift must be folded.

To ensure safety, the control should display the warning lights on the platform and indicate the operation of the 2 passenger lift. It should be easy for pedestrians and vehicles to operate it. The platform must have a smooth and level transition between the loading and the unloading positions. The controls should indicate the operation of the lift. If the platform is too high, the door can be raised, but the lift must be level to ensure safe loading.

The control should be identified with the "DEPLOY" or "UNFOLD" button to lower or raise the platform. It must be located at least nine hundred and fourteen millimeters above the threshold area. If the platform is too high, it may collapse into the vehicle and be stuck. This can result in serious accidents. A 2-passenger lift should be placed at least two meters above the ground. The height of the platform should be at least nineteen and thirty inches.

It is important to consider the location of the lift. A 2 passenger lift should be located in a central location. The height of the platform should be at least ten feet. In addition to being able to carry two people, the lift should be placed in a safe place in the building. When installed, the system should be installed safely. A handrail will make it easier for wheelchair users to exit and enter the lift.
