Wis. Admin. Code Department of Transportation Trans 301.62 - Power lift
(1) The lifting mechanism shall have a
minimum capacity of 700 pounds.
(2)
All power lift mechanisms shall be enclosed.
(3) Power lift may be mounted to chassis
frame.
(4) Lift platform edges
shall be designed to prevent wheelchairs or attendant's feet from becoming
entangled during raising and lowering process.
(5) The platform floor surface shall be of
nonskid material.
(6) The platform
shall lock mechanically when in the stored position. A power lift designed to
remain in a rigid position with the power off is exempt from having a
mechanical lock. The intent of this subsection is to prevent a lift from having
any movement while the vehicle is in motion.
(7) Up and down limits shall be controlled by
limit switch or by-pass valve. A lift with gravity lowering capabilities is
exempt from having a by-pass valve.
(8) Positioning power lift shall be
controlled by switches which give the operator instant and positive control to
move, stop, or reverse the lift travel at will.
(9) With the exception of floor molding, no
metal screws are to be used in fabrication of platform assembly.
(10) The lift control shall be interlocked
with the vehicle brakes, transmission or door, or shall provide other
appropriate mechanisms or systems, to ensure that the vehicle cannot be moved
when the lift is not stowed and so the lift cannot be deployed unless the
interlocks or systems are engaged.
(11) New, used or remanufactured buses and
vans placed in operation after February 25, 1992, and used to transport persons
with physical disabilities shall comply with the requirements found in
36 CFR
1192.21 and 1192.23.
