The one attached to the vehicle, lays flat at
all times when the lift is in use. When
loading, the lift goes up under the
bridgeplate. When unloading, the lift lowers
leaving the bridgeplate in its stationery
position. The inboard barrier attached to the
lift is only flat when the lift is in the raised
position. When loading, the barrier unfolds
to meet the floor of the vehicle. When
unloading, the barrier will fold up as the lift
lowers.
If your lift is attached to the floor of the MAV,
make sure your patient is centered on the lift
and watch closely to make certain the
patient’s feet do not get caught between the
lift and the vehicle or the bridgeplate when
raising the lift.
The outboard and inboard barriers are not
intended to be a stop for the wheelchair. It is
not safe to rest the wheels or footrests
against the barriers.
