Mechanical Lift Analysis
There is a 6" gap between the back wall of the courtroom and the lift platform when it is
elevated because of projections in the wall surface.
The only service required on the lift system, since installation, has been for a minor leveling
adjustment.
Exposed edges of the floor, adjacent to lift, have moldings and vertical surfaces extending into
the lift pit and clad with wood veneer matching the millwork of the witness box and judge's
bench.
Noise and vibration during lift operation is minimal.
There is some apprehension by Court personnel related to using the lift, but this can only be
attributed to the infrequent use of the equipment, not because the lift is faulty.
