This new aquatic lifting device is specifically designed for both residential applications as well as hospitality and multi-unit facilities who are seeking a sensible solution for providing access to their swimming pools for users with disabilities.
It is easy to operate and maintain, is transportable, is reliable, and is priced to fit into any budget. In addition, the device features an attractive design which blends into any pool environment without projecting an institutional appearance.
Standing a mere 32 inches (81 cm) above the deck, the aXs provides 360° rotation to ensure sufficient clear deck space for safe transfers on and off of the lift. It is intended to be used with simple pool gutter configurations having a deck to water distance of no more than 6 inches (15 cm).
With a lifting capacity of 300 pounds (136 kilograms), the Basic version meets all Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), and features an exclusive seating system. This system, designed by people with disabilities for people with disabilities, is wider and deeper than most conventional seats, and has no edges to restrict transfers.
The MT, or Manual Turn version, is designed for applications such as residential use, where ADAAG guidelines are not required and pricing is an issue. The MT provides the same features as the Basic version without the automatic turning capability. Both versions offer an intuitive handset in both a wired or wireless configuration. The handset controls all operations of the lift.
4 configurations are available:
| Model | Turning | Handset |
| MT | Manual | Wired |
| MT wireless | Manual | Wireless |
| Basic | Automatic | Wired |
| Basic wireless | Automatic | Wireless |
The aXs is fabricated using both aluminum extrusions and stainless steel. All surfaces are treated with a tough and attractive powder coated finish to protect against prolonged exposure to the elements. Custom colors are available. The housing is formed from ABS plastic with an acrylic cap to minimize discoloration due to exposure to the sun.
