Levelling — the controlled carriage movement towards the landing, within the levelling zone, by means of a levelling device that vertically aligns the carriage level relative to the landing level. Levelling device — any mechanism that will move the carriage within the levelling zone towards the landing. Levelling device, anti-creep — a levelling device used on hydraulic lifts to correct automatically a change in carriage level caused by leakage or contraction of fluid in the hydraulic system. Levelling device, automatic — a device that corrects the carriage level on both underrun and overrun, and maintains the level during loading and unloading.
