Bridge Plate (Inboard Roll Stop): UVL lift models may be equipped with an automatic or manually operated bridge plate (except model UVL603A). The bridge plate bridges the gap between the lift platform and the vehicle floor as well as serving as an inboard roll stop.
Automatic Bridge Plate: Auto- matic bridge plates are spring-
loaded to raise to vertical position when the platform extends from the stow position. The automatic bridge plate folds down onto the vehicle floor as the platform raises to floor level. The bridge plate automatically folds down to the platform surface during the lift stow function. Discontinue lift operation immediately if the automatic bridge plate does not operate properly.
Manual Bridge Plates: Manual bridge plates are attendant operated. The bridge plate rests on the platform surface when the lift is in the stowed position. When the platform is fully- extended, the bridge plate is manually raised to the vertical position. When the platform is raised to floor level, the bridge plate is manually lowered to the vehicle floor (bridging position).
