* Speeds exceeding 200 FPM require additional overhead and pit depth. Increase the pit depth and overhead by the amount listed below if the speed exceeds 200 fpm.
Minimum overhead and pit depth are based on the use of spring buffers for 200 fpm and less. Add 5" to overhead and pit depth if oil buffers are required.

Calculations based on EMS Gates and Doors
Clear Inside of Cab
  Width = Platform – 4"
Front Opening Only
  Depth = Platform – 5" for Single Section Gate
  For Doors Exceeding 13'-6" in Width - 6 ½"
  Depth = Platform – 7 ½" for Two Section Gate
  For Doors Exceeding 13'-6" in Width - 9"
Front and Rear Opening
  Depth = Platform – 6" for Single Section Gate
  For Doors Exceeding 13'-6" in Width - 9"
  Depth = Platform – 11" for Two Section Gate
  For Doors Exceeding 13'-6" in Width - 14"

Notes:

  • Overhead dimensions are based on 6 foot high car gate.
  • Two section car gates are not recommended for high usage installations or wide openings.
  • For extra high door opening requirements, or special conditions, consult your representative.
 
General Note:
 
1 lb. = 0.454 kg
1ft2 = 9.29 E-2m2
 
ASME A17.1 code requirements for minimum rated capacity are as follows:
Class A (General Freight Loading) – 50 lbs. per sq. ft.
Class B (Motor Vehicle Loading) – 30 lbs. per sq. ft.
Class C-1 (Industrial Truck Loading – truck carried by elevator) – 50 lbs. per sq. ft., but not less than load, including weight of truck.
Class C-2 (Industrial Truck Loading – truck is normally used for loading and unloading only, and is not usually carried by elevator) – for elevators of 20,000 lbs. capacity or less capacity shall equal the weight of the loaded truck – maximum load on platform during loading and unloading not exceed 150% of rated load.
Class C-3 (Other loading with heavy concentrations where truck is not usually used) – 50 lbs. per sq. ft., but not less than load.
NOTE: Square feet area of platform is determined by net inside area.
