Cantilever lift and method for operating a control device of a cantilever lift

The platform lift (11) has an electric motor (27) with a temperature-dependent electrical component (28), which communicates a signal to an input of a control unit (33) through a measurement connection (35,37) of the electric motor. A liftable- and lowerable platform (17) is provided, which is stable in all lifting positions in the horizontal. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating an electric or electronic control unit of a platform lift.
