Genesis OPAL Mast Sizes and Lifting Heights
The mast size required for a particular site
is determined by the vertical travel required between the upper
and lower landings. When the site is measured, the lift height “H” is
always defined as the distance from the lower mounting surface
of the lift to the finished floor of the upper landing as shown
in the diagram below. If the lift is to be mounted directly
on the floor of the lower landing and an entry ramp is used,
then “H” equals
the elevation change between the upper and lower landings.
If the lift is pit mounted, then the measurement “H” is 76mm
(3”)
greater than the elevation change between landings.
Based on the measured value of “H” the drive mast is selected
as follows;
Mast Size |
Maximum Lifting Height |
Mast Structure Height
|
| GVL-42 |
1143mm (45") |
1737mm (68 3/8") |
| GVL-60 |
1600mm (63") |
2194mm (86 3/8") |
Lifting height = distance between upper landing & lower landing
mounting surface (pit or floor)
The standard width of all masts is 980mm (38 5/8")
