The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is intended to mechanically transport one person in a wheelchair or in a fold-down seat up and down stairs in a private or public facility either indoors or outdoors.

The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is intended to mechanically transport one person in a wheelchair or in a fold down seat equipped with a seat belt, up and down stairs in a private or public facility either indoors or outdoors, on straight stairways. The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift uses two custom-cut extruded aluminum guide rails to guide and support the platform. An upper rail houses the drive rack that is engaged by the pinion gear providing platform movement as well as acting as the raceway for the control wiring. A lower rail stabilizes the platform keeping it in a level traveling position. The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift has steel guide rails and haul ropes or cables are used for those products instead of extruded aluminum. The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift does not require a special cabinet to house the drive system. The drive system of the Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is an on-board rack and pinion drive system. The drive system is protected from accidental contact by the user by a conveyance "hard" cover. The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is a computer-controlled device equipped with a microprocessor and the software resides inside the conveyance controller. The safety network monitors several switches, landing cam, the battery voltage and motor current limits. These are independent of the microprocessor system and provide a positive electromechanical means to reliably and safely stop the lift in any possible hazardous situation. The controller is located in the conveyance unit. It receives the operating commands from the call station or from the conveyance controller. The conveyance control module always has a priority over the call stations. The conveyance controller is powered by 24V DC batteries that are attached to the conveyance. The conveyance controller also controls the "barrier arms" motor, platform side-load motor and the platform motor in either of the landings. The status of the safety switches and the emergency stop button are monitored by the conveyance controller. There is a call station located at each landing. The call station transmits commands using a wireless simplex channel while the conveyance continuously scans all RF signals (decoded) from both call stations. Call stations allow the user to call and send the unit into the desired landing and also fold and unfold the platform. The call stations are linked with the conveyance through the wireless link. The system uses a 2.4 GHz ISM band using encoded pulse for each call station does not process the button / command but simply transfers the state of each button to the conveyance. The Garaventa X3 inclined platform lift is provided in four models: one fully automatic, two semi automatic, and one fully manual.
