Product Overview
Provide safe, dignified access to an inground swimming pool with the S.R. Smith PAL2 Portable Aquatic Lift. Part number 202-0000 is a battery-powered, free-standing pool lift designed for commercial facilities, hotels, apartment communities, rehabilitation centers, schools, and residential properties requiring accessible pool entry.
The PAL2 combines a modern Gray Mist finish with a patented counterbalance design that allows the lift to be moved between suitable pool locations by one person. Its portable construction eliminates the need for a permanent deck anchor during ordinary positioning, while the included PAL Secure-It Kit allows the unit to be fixed to the deck when required for ADA compliance.
The lift has a maximum operating capacity of 300 pounds and uses a 24-volt rechargeable battery to power the lifting and rotational movements. A screw-driven electronic actuator provides smooth, controlled transfer from the pool deck into the water and back.

Operation and Accessibility
The PAL2 is intended to transfer a seated user from the pool deck into the water and return the user safely to the deck. The waterproof handset allows independent operation when the user is able to control the lift without assistance.
The lift should only be positioned on a rigid, level pool deck with a slope not exceeding two degrees. Both rear wheels must be locked before transferring a user. The PAL2 must never be moved while someone is seated in the lift.
Final ADA compliance depends on the pool geometry, installation location, clear deck space, water depth, seat position, and correct installation of the included Secure-It Kit. Facility owners remain responsible for confirming that the completed installation meets all applicable accessibility requirements.
