Short Description
The SF 600 lifting platform is capable of carrying a wheelchair and user over small height differences of up to 610mm. It does not require permanent installation and is suitable for indoor or outdoor applications.

More Details
The SF600 Lifting Platform is made from galvanised steel (inside) and aluminium (outside). Both the platform and access ramp have a slip free finish. The driving mechanism is a screw actuator, 24V DC. The main actuator is of worm gear type. In the case of a power failure it will stop at the spot the power interruption occurred. Access and drive-off are at opposite ends of the lifting platform. To ensure user safety, the access ramp functions as a gate, and there are hand rails on both sides of the SF 600.
Method of Lift Operation:
The unit is operated using a hand held control. There are only two buttons to manipulate, one for up and one for down.
To raise the lifting platform from its lowest level:
1. When the lifting platform is at its lowest level, and the access ramp has been lowered to that level, the wheelchair user can drive into/up onto the lifting platform without hindrance.
2. Pressing the UP button on the hand held controller raises the access ramp; this then functions as a guard against rolling off. The button is activated for as long as it is pressed down.
3. When the access ramp has been raised to its highest level keep pressing the UP button to raise the platform.
4. When the lifting platform is level with the landing, the platform stops automatically and the user can drive onto the landing.
To lower the lifting platform from its highest level:
1. The wheelchair user drives onto the lifting platform.
2. Activate the hand control by pressing the DOWN button to lower the lifting platform. The button is active for as long as it is pressed down.
3. When the lifting platform is at its lowest level, continue pressing the DOWN button to lower the access ramp. The user can then drive off the lifting platform.


Factors to Consider
In the case of a power failure the lift will stop at the spot the power interruption occurred.

Models
One model only - SF 600


Options
The unit can be put on its side to minimise the stowing area required.

Installation
Supplier states that it will be necessary to provide a completely flat, level load bearing concrete base with a smooth trowelled finish and of sufficient strength to support 500kg over the face of the lift.
This pad shall be large enough to accommodate the size of the lift plus the required running clearance.
It will be necessary to provide a 240 volt, 10 amp. single phase outlet at a suitable position adjacent to the lift on the lower level.
The wall adjacent to the front face of the lift in its line of travel is to be vertical and flush with no shear points.
