Survey, Installation and Commissioning 

 

All Penny Hydraulics lifts are manufactured to a high standard and can be installed in many diverse 
situations. Since no two applications are the same, this lift is custom-made following a site survey and 
risk assessment. 

It is assembled in the factory and delivered on site and cannot be altered. It is therefore essential that 
when the original survey is carried out, that all dimensions and facts that may affect installation are 
correct. The following section explains the important points at various situations. 

 

Survey 

A trained person must perform the survey and complete a site assessment form, as it is part of the 
installation risk assessment and layout evaluation. A quotation may be derived from an architect’s 
drawing, but knowledge of the intended use and a site survey is essential as the job progresses to take 
full account of the special requirements of the task and location. 

 

Installation 

All installations must be carried out by qualified engineers trained in the method of installation and 
approved by Penny Hydraulics. It is important to note that should a non-approved engineer on 
installation cause damage or fault, this could invalidate the warranty. 

 

Clear the working area. 

 

Check all dimensions before unloading. 

 

Manoeuvre the lift into position noting that this will normally require a crane mounted on the 
delivery vehicle or chain blocks fixed inside the building. Lifts can be made in two or more 
sections to aid manual handling and then assembled in position. 

 

Bolt the lift to the floor and back wall or framework. It is essential that a sound fixing is 
obtained at the top of the lift. Welding may be required. 

 

Locate and mount the power pack such that the operator is in a safe position at the bottom but 
has sight of the lift. 

 

Erect any guarding necessary as previously agreed. This is sometimes done earlier in the 
installation process depending on site circumstances and how the lift fits into the structure. 

 

Couple all electric and hydraulic connections. They must all be fastened securely and neatly 
back. It is possible to commission lifts on a temporary supply and then an electrician couple 
into a permanent supply prior to lift going into service.
