Advisory 410.1 General. Inclined stairway chairlifts and inclined and vertical

should be taken in selecting lifts as they may not be equally suitable for use by
people using wheelchairs and people standing. If a lift does not provide 80 inch
(2030 mm) vertical clearance, it cannot be considered part of an accessible
route in new construction.
The ADA and other Federal civil rights laws require that accessible features be
maintained in working order so that they are accessible to and usable by those
people they are intended to benefit. Building owners are reminded that the ASME
A18 Safety Standard for Platform Lifts and Stairway Chairlifts requires routine
maintenance and inspections. Isolated or temporary interruptions in service due
to maintenance or repairs may be unavoidable; however, failure to take prompt
action to effect repairs could constitute a violation of Federal laws and these
