Sliding Fold-Out Ramp – Model LU9

Sliding Fold-Out Ramp - Model LU9

Lift-U’s® new LU9 ramp, designed specifically for mid-sized low floor cutaway bus applications, not only offers a reduced slope of 1:6 but also facilitates a load capacity of 950 pounds, which exceeds the ADA. The LU9 is electrically operated and controlled. Hydraulics are not required for operation. All major ramp components including the ramp plate are manufactured out of stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Aluminum is not used to avoid galvanic corrosion. A representative ramp model has completed a 2,000-hour salt spray test, after which the ramp operated without the need of repair or lubrication.
