The Liftavator Casket Lift is a result and product of the original Liftavator holeless hydraulic design. Churches needing a safe, practical means to transport caskets between different levels now have the option of adding a fully enclosed deluxe cab with automatic controls.

The Liftavator Casket Lift often performs double duty as a handicap lift, allowing the elderly and disabled access to all levels of a church or funeral parlor.

The same design can also transport gurneys or stretchers in nursing homes and medical buildings, all at a fraction of the cost of a full-sized elevator.

The Liftavator Casket Lift is designed to exceed Part XIV of the ANSI 17.1 elevator code for a commercial freight elevator. Rated capacity is 1800 pounds, based on 24 square feet platform size.

All walls and side members must be square and extend from pit floor to the ceiling of the shaft. Inside surface of the hoistway must be flush. Interior of hoistway and doors should be finished prior to the installation of the lift. Hoistway must be constructed in accordance with ASME A18.1 and all state and local building code requirements. 2)   Adequate supports shall be provided for fastening the lift as indicated on the layout drawings. Supports must withstand rail forces indicated. The elevator contractor is not responsible for the structural design of the building and its ability to support the elevator loads and/or reactions. 3)   Where wood frame construction is used, tripled 2” x 6” on each side of inserts, spaced as indicated on the layout drawings, and extending the full height of the hoistway are recommended. Please consult the project architect for design specs. 4)   For masonry walls, the wall must be designed to support the loadings of the lift. 5)   Total travel distance from finished bottom floor to finished top floor must be held within 1" of that shown on the layout drawings overhead clearance, (top floor to underside of hoistway ceiling or obstruction) to be maintained per the layout drawings. If any of the shaftway dimensions cannot be achieved, contact the factory for alternate arrangements. 6)   Overhead clearance: (top floor to underside of hoistway ceiling or obstruction) to be maintained per the layout drawings. If any of the shaftway dimensions cannot be achieved, contact the factory for alternate arrangements. 7)   A poured pit conforming to the dimensions indicated on the layout drawings must be provided. The pit must be designed for the impact load indicated and must be dry and level from wall to wall. 8)   A sump pump and sump pump hole with cover is recommended in the pit area where water seepage is encountered .
