The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) has posted two new advisories on Elevating Devices to provide guidance to industry:
Federal Elevator Limited Use/Limited Application – Verification of Correct Shackle Assembly
This is an updated version of the advisory detailing requirements for a shackle washer on Federal Elevator Limited Use/Limited Application (LULA) Elevators. This advisory was initially shared on May 8, 2024, to inform owners and operators about the possibility of a suspension failure at the shackle connection to the elevator on Federal Elevator LULAs. Please read the updated advisory for details.
Minimum Vertical Clearance on Load Carriers for Parking Garage Lifts
This advisory is intended to bring awareness to the expected vertical clearance to be provided between load carriers for parking garage lifts. As a best practice, 2000 mm clear headroom between the load carriers of a parking garage lift shall be provided so users can safely enter and exit the working area of the parking garage lifts safely. Please read the advisory for details.
