Scope of Work

The contractor must also provide shop drawings, implement infection control measures, and handle waste removal. The lift systems must be engineered to support a weight rating of 550-1100 lbs, tested at 1.5 times the rated working load. Technical specifications include automatic, hands-free body weight support, wireless interface, an internal scale option, a non-motorized gate system for rail transitions, and a minimum 3-year warranty on lift units.
