Technical Information
Elvoron CPL
The Elvoron Commercial Platform Lift is a sophisticated hydraulic elevating system designed specifically for use in commercial buildings. The system fits within a vertical hoistway connecting the floors to be serviced. A machine room outside the hoistway is required to accommodate the controller and pump unit. This area can be adjacent to the hoistway or in a remote location. Details may be affected by local code.
The platform lift stops level with the bottom floor thus a small pit is required. The recommended pit depth is 9-1/4” (235 mm). A pit depth of 12” (305mm) is required for cabs with 1400 lb capacity or any clear cab widths greater than 42” (1067mm).
At the upper landing, an overhead clearance of 96” (2438mm) is required for our standard cab height of 84” (2134mm). For taller custom cab heights, adjust your overhead accordingly.
This Planning Guide is intended to assist architects, contractors, and lift professionals in planning for the successful installation of an Elvoron CPL.
We strongly recommend you contact your local Garaventa Lift representative to discuss and become familiar with the local code requirements in your area. It is extremely important to know and adhere to all local codes and regulations pertaining to the installation and use of Commercial Platform Lifts.

Hoistway Construction
The walls of the hoistway can be constructed of wood, poured concrete or concrete block. The wall behind the cylinder and guide rails must be load bearing and able to withstand the loads imposed by the lift.
The cylinder and guide rails are mounted to the wall with steel brackets. These rail brackets are fastened to the load bearing wall at regular intervals. See shop drawings for locations.

NOTE: Pit loads are distributed to the pit floor through the pit channel.
The rail bracket spacing is determined during the design phase. The rail brackets are generally every 4’ apart, measured vertically, depending on the load capacity, size of cab and travel height. Please see final elevator shop drawings for actual locations.
All the walls of the hoistway, especially the wall behind the rails and the entrance walls, need to be flush and plumb from floor to ceiling. This is to allow for the required running clearances.
No light is required at the top of the hoistway. A light is required in the pit (see Construction of Pit for details).

Wood Construction
The wall behind the rails must be structural to withstand the loads defined in the loading diagram. Garaventa Lift recommends vertical blocking for mounting rail brackets. Vertical blocking should be a minimum of two 2x12 boards laid flat and fastened between two 2x4’s. The hoistway dimensions indicate the clear inside finished cavity. Please ensure you allow for hoistway finishing. Hoistway walls are required to be fire-rated in some jurisdictions.
Masonry Construction
It is not necessary to make the return portion of the walls in concrete. We suggest you make them of steel and use T-bar to support the lintels. This makes it easier to finish around the door frames after they have been placed.
Door Openings
Do not construct the return walls on either side of the door entrances until after the doors and frames have been aligned on site. The rails, cylinder, and platform are installed and then the doors are aligned to the center of the platform.
Wood Blocking Guidelines Rail Bracket in Hoistway
The pit must be the same width and length as the hoistway, and should have a minimum 4” thick concrete floor. The majori-ty of the weight of the lift is borne by the plunger (ram). Reactions are indicated on each project’s shop drawings. Pit depth of 9-1/4” (235 mm) is typical for most cabs.
A pit depth of 12” (305mm) is required for cabs with 1400 lb capacity and cab widths greater than 42” (1067mm).
If there is habitable space under the hoistway then buffer springs are required by code. This will increase the pit depth by 2”.
A pit ladder is required only if the pit depth exceeds 35” (915mm). Consult your Garaventa Lift representative for details as changes to finished hoistway are required.
Pit Lighting
A pit light is required if the illumination level is less than 50 lx at the pit floor with the lowest door open. Your builder or electrician can install a light in the hoistway pit or provide 110v duplex receptacle within 10’ (3000 mm) of either jamb of the lowest landing door.

Features & Options
Car Operating Panel
The COP is available in a variety of finishes. All COP’s use continuous pressure illuminated push button operation and are equipped with a digital position indicator and stop switch.
Hands Free Telephone (Optional)
A hands free ADA telephone can be provided to meet local code requirements. The phone is mounted within the car operating panel (COP) and is only visible as a phone button and speaker/ microphone.
Hall Stations
The Hall Stations use continuous pressure illuminated push buttons. Keyed hall stations maybe required to meet local code requirements. Please contact your local Garaventa representative to discuss local code requirements.
The hall stations are mounted within the door frame or they can be wall mounted for such cases when automatic power door operators are used on the landing doors or when more appropriate.

Egg Crate Ceiling & Cabin Lights
The CPL is equipped with a non-load bearing, “egg crate” style ceiling panel, to meet code requirements. The egg crate panel of the ceiling is bordered in white melamine.
Automatic cab lighting is provided as a standard feature.
The 4 recessed LED pot lights, mounted into the border, are trimmed in white.
Safety Features
| • | UPS provides back-up power to light the cab, lower |
| the lift and open the hall door interlocks in the | |
| event of a power failure. |
| • | A manual emergency lowering system is also provided |
| for your safety. |
| • | A slack rope/instantaneous safety system is provided |
| to prevent free-fall of the elevator in the event of a | |
| rope failure. |
| • | CSA Approved elevator interlocks are provided for |
| each hall door. The interlock prevents a lift door | |
| from being opened when the car is not at a landing. | |
| The lift can not travel without all of the hall doors | |
| closed and locked. |
| • | Automatic bi-directional floor leveling ensures the car |
| will stop and stay level with the landing regardless of | |
| the load on the elevator. |
| • | CSA certified Elevator controller ensures the control |
| meets the requirements of the ASME A18.1/CSA - | |
| B355 Safety Code. |
Hall Doors & Interlocks
Hoistway doors are located at each landing. They are equipped with an interlock to prevent the door from being opened if the cab is not at that landing.
These special doors and frames are mounted flush to the inside of the hoistway. This creates a plane running surface for the open entrance of the cab.
The solid steel core door has a vision panel, a pull handle on the outside, a push plate on the inside of the hoistway and an external closer.
The doors have a one and a half hour fire rating. They are 18 gauge WCG steel, zinc primered, to be painted on site to match your building décor.
Hall Door – Power Swing Door Operator (Optional)
Each hall door may be supplied with a power door operator.
This feature will open the landing door when the cab arrives at a landing or when the hall station is pressed. The oper-ator is mounted above the door frame and requires extra support or blocking and a separate 110 VAC power supply above the door header.

Dimensions
In order to satisfy code requirements, the hydraulic pump unit and fused disconnect switches must be located in a room or area which is lockable. A lockable cabinet is acceptable. However, to meet electrical code, service personnel must have the following clearance in front of the electrical box:
US - 36” x 36” x 7’ (915 x 915 x 2135mm) Canada - 393/8” x 393/8” x 7’ (1000 x 1000 x 2135mm)
The machine room does not have to be a separate, dedicated room. The machinery could be located in a closet or under the stairs, as long as the above requirements are met. The optimum location is at the lowest level, adjacent to the hoistway, preferable on the same side as the guide rails. The dimensions of the pump unit are 23” wide x 16 ½” deep x 59 ¼” high (585 x 420 x 1505 mm).
To save space the electrical control box can be disconnected from the tank. They can be separated up to 10’ (3048 mm) away. The control box is 23” wide x 6” deep x 30” high (585 x 155 x 765 mm). The tank for the pump and motor is 23” wide x 16 ½” deep x 31” high (585 x 420 x 790 mm). You will need 4” (155 mm) above the pump and motor tank for servicing purposes.
Two PVC sleeves, at least 4” (105 mm) in diameter, will be required between the hoistway and the machinery for the hydraulic hose and electrical conduit. This is to enable the installers to make the connection between the cylinder and the pumping unit. The sleeves should enter the hoistway at either corner of the support wall.
Please contact your local Garaventa Lift representative for specific local code requirements.
