UFS 3-490-06 5 June 2026 UNIFIED FACILITIES (UFS) APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED ELEVATORS UFS 3-490-06 5 June 2026 FOREWORD Unified Facilities Supplements (UFS) provide non-mandatory, supplemental information in support of Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). Only UFC establish enforceable criteria. UFS are For Information Only (FIO) and exist to help users understand and apply UFC requirements. The purpose of UFS is to offer procedural guidance, best practices, lessons learned, examples, and explanatory materials that clarify how to meet UFC criteria. They may include step-by-step procedures, checklists, illustrations, or decision aids, but they do not create new requirements or modify UFC content. UFS are developed by Discipline Working Groups (DWGs) and published by

Personnel Hoist: A personnel hoist is a mechanism for use in connection with the construction, alteration, maintenance, or demolition of a building, structure, or other work. It is used for hoisting and lowering workers or materials, or both, is equipped with a car that moves on guide members during its vertical movement and includes its hoistway.

. The difference is that a wire rope sheave is mounted to the top of the hydraulic plunger and steel hoist ropes are attached to the cylinder base, run over the sheave, and down to the cab frame. As the cylinder runs up, the 1:2 roping moves the elevator cab twice the distance of the plunger travel. The cost of acquisition, maintenance, and service for a roped- hydraulic elevator is substantially greater than for the direct plunger types and is not permitted in DOD facilities except in the event of compelling design conditions.
