EElevator, Please don't scare me. This will be my first "Canton" cantilever. I have installed a few Savaria MRL traction cantilever type units. Worked on a few Roped cantilever LULAs and residential
This job was limited on options for equipment. Canton is a company I had experience with ( twin post) and this is what they suggested to meet my criteria.
KIS100 is the only operator that will conceal and operate the scissor gate. The cab allowance is 1000# and im calculating 650# for the birdcage. Thinking to add weight behind the lower wainscot, or under the platform.

Seems no fans for the smart rise. My local mentor is all Smartrise. Canton mentor "cobra" says Virginia all day.
Ive installed both. When that virginia is wired up good it works damn good. I like their tech support.
Smartrise havn't really had many issues either. Support was a little dry but some support techs were great. Had a bad smartrise board upon arrival of a new unit, but it was swapped out fast.
