Bed lifts and a surprise

16 February 2016

Installed electric lifts to access storage under the beds.  Simple system using inline skate wheels with two electric linear actuators from Frigelli.  The surprise came when the storage area underneath the bed storage was opened and found full of water.  Initially alarming, it was determined that the front of this area is the bulkhead separating it from the chain lockers.  The chain locker drain was plugged filling the locker above a horizontal seam and leaking into the storage area.  The drain became covered by a rubber chain pad and allowed debris to plug the drain.
