CLEARANCES
1. Lift Location: Use architects plan and an Engineers
automatic level (transit) when available to locate the Lift.
The above shows clearances of a typical bay layout. Lift
floor area should be level.
2. Ceiling or overhead clearance must be 80” plus height of
tallest Vehicle.
3. Estimating Column Shim requirements:
In the following section, the terms “highest” and “low-
est” refer to floor elevation.
a. Mark locations where the Lift columns will be
positioned in bay.
b. Place target on floor at column positions (NOT on
column base plates) and record readings.
c. Find the highest of the four locations. Find the
difference between the readings at each of the
remaining three columns and the highest reading.
d. The difference is the estimated amount of shim
thickness needed at each column.
Note: Maximum shim thickness is 1/2” per column using
shims and anchors provided with Lift.
If no transit is available, floor slope can be determined by
using a chalk line and level.
