Vertical Lift Testing

The vertical lift platform, which will move heavy equipment between floors in the LSST summit facility building, was tested on December 10-19. The lift, manufactured by Pflow Industries, was successfully raised and lowered its full travel distance without cargo. The mobile roof also operated as planned, raising to allow the lift to reach the Dome maintenance level. Full-load final acceptance testing will occur in the next few months. This photo shows the mobile roof rising as the lift rises.
