4.3 Pit Installation


Do not install lift in a pit unless pit has a bevel toe guard or
other approved toe protection. A shear point may exist which
can cause severe foot injury.

Lift platforms traveling below floor levels may create a toe hazard as load
passes top edge of pit. This may require guarding in accordance with
ANSI MH29.1. Guarding must be installed prior to operating lift.


1. Check pit dimensions. Pit must be 2" longer and 2” wider than lift platform to allow a 1” gap between

platform and pit. Pit depth should allow ½” for shims or grout.


2. Conduit diameter must be a minimum of 3" with long radius sweeps for necessary hydraulic hosing

and field wiring.


3. Verify installation area is clean before starting. Check mounting surface of pit floor with a level or

straight edge. If floor is not level, add shims or grout under entire perimeter of base to achieve a level
and flat base installation. A level base is essential for proper wheel tracking and smooth lift operation.
