Product Overview

The S.R. Smith PAL2 Portable Pool Lift 202-0000 is a reliable accessibility solution for commercial swimming pools, hotels, resorts, aquatic centers, rehabilitation facilities, community pools, and other public aquatic environments. Designed for portability, ease of operation, and dependable performance, the PAL2 allows facilities to provide accessible pool entry without permanently dedicating the lift to one location.

The PAL2 features a heavy-duty counterbalanced base, battery-powered operation, integrated armrests, and approximately 240 degrees of rotation to support convenient transfers between the pool deck and water. Its portable, free-standing design allows the lift to be moved by one person and positioned where it is needed.

Finished in Gray Mist, the PAL2 combines powder-coated stainless steel and aluminum construction for a professional appearance and durability in demanding aquatic environments. The lift provides a 300 lb / 136 kg lifting capacity and includes a rechargeable 24V battery, charger, waterproof hand control, footrest, seat belt assembly, battery console cover, and PAL Secure-It Kit.

The PAL2 has been third-party tested and verified for ADA compliance. However, final compliance depends on proper placement, pool configuration, deck clearances, water level, and other site-specific requirements.

Product Specifications

Portable Commercial Pool Accessibility

Unlike traditional permanently anchored pool lifts, the PAL2 uses a counterbalanced portable design. This allows facility operators to relocate the lift between compatible pool locations while maintaining a stable platform for transfers.

The included PAL Secure-It Kit provides a method for securing the lift to the pool deck when required. This flexibility makes the PAL2 especially useful for properties with multiple aquatic areas or facilities that need an accessibility solution without installing a conventional permanently mounted lift.

LiftOperator® Intelligent Control

S.R. Smith's LiftOperator® Intelligent Control system is mounted directly to the mast for convenient operation. The system operates from a 24-volt rechargeable battery and includes a waterproof hand control that allows the lift to be operated during pool entry and exit.

The battery-powered design eliminates the need for the lift to connect to the pool's circulation or hydraulic system.
