BAY LAYOUT 
IMPORTANT:
 Always wear PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) when 
installing or servicing a vehicle lift.
Prepare the bay by selecting the location of the lift relative to the walls. 
Clear the installation area of all packaging materials to avoid trip 
hazards. 
Measure midpoint of door. 
Using measuring tape, scribe 
two arcs, equal distance from 
the midpoint. 
The centerline of the lift occurs 
between the intersection of the 
arcs and the midpoint of the door. 
Note: Leave any additional room for any 
                  desired aisle or work area. 
                  Recommended minimum clearance 
                  around lift is three feet (3 ft.) and   
                  above lift is four inches (4”).   
                  Ensure clearance conforms to local 
                  building and fire codes. 
Figure 2 
Measure the specified distance to draw a second chalk line at 90° for locating the 
lift towers. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 below for correct 
measurements. 
The lift is centered between the door and the walls of the area.   
Mark chalk lines at the exact position of each baseplate to show that when 
installing the columns each baseplate will be position properly.   
 
 All the dimensions are based on the external border of the base plate. 
 
 The lift layout is very important. If not done properly, problems may 
occur during the final assembly and operation 
Important Notice: For narrow bay installation, deduct 
5.9” (150 mm) from
the width layouts.
