bridge plate folds down onto the
vehicle floor as the platform

operation immediately if the
automatic bridge plate does
not operate properly.
Manual Bridge Plates: Manual
bridge plates are attendant

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).
