Is there certain ADA requirements that I should look for in a lift?

Here are three basics requirements to check on your lift: 1. Lift must have a capacity of 300 lbs or more. ADA Advisory – 1009.2.9 Pool lifts should be provided that meet the needs of the population they serve. Providing a pool lift with a weight capacity greater than 300lbs may be advisable.

2. Lift must have a solid seat and a footrest. Sling seat styles are not compliant and should be replaced.

3. Lift must be self operable from the deck and the water. A lift with manual rotate or hand crank is not compliant and should be replaced.


I have multiple spas and Pools at a facility, can I share a lift?

The standard requires that each operational pool be accessible. Sharing a lift does not satisfy the standards and may create safety issues with stranded swimmers if the lift is moved while they are in the pool.

Can I make my spa or pool ADA compliant more affordable?The Federal Government provides tax incentives. Please refer to our website www.globalliftcorp.com for more details.

Tax Deduction: The tax deduction allows a business of any size to expense up to a maximum of $15,000 per year of items that normally must be capitalized (depreciated).

You must have an accessible route to the access point5. You must have a clear deck space provided at the side of the lift for transferring (48” parallel to the seat measured from 12” behind back of the seat x 36” perpendicular to the side of the seat)
