BS 5655-6:2002 pdf download – Lifts and service lifts — Part 6: Code of practice for the selection and installation of new lifts The rated load should range from 320 kg to 2 500 kg and the rated speed should range from 0.4 m/s to 1.0 m/s for hydraulic lifts and 0.63 m/s to 6.00 m/s for electric traction lifts. Higher speeds are currently available, but should be discussed in detail between the lift contractor and the purchaser’s representative. If the projected installation is one ofthe arrangements described above, the following guidance will enable the preliminary scheme for the installation, in particular the traffic sizing (see Clause 6), to be established, and general planning details to be determined by the architect, or any person assuming such function. These details should be finally settled at the earliest possible stage, by a detailed investigation, with the purchaser’s representative reaching agreement with the lift contractor, where necessary, before an order is finalized. This will enable a check to be made that all the necessary information has been exchanged. NOTE A typical checklist of the information to be exchanged is shown in B.1. 4.2 Lift enquiry or invitation to tender 4.2.1 General The purchaser’s representative should allow adequate time for the lift contractor to tender.

Extracts from standards and regulations should not be quoted in the enquiry documents. NOTE 1 Attention is particularly drawn to the Lifts Regulations 1997 [3] with regard to new lifts.
