Quick backstory: The motorpool at the place I work got a new automotive lift and moved the old one to a pole barn within ~10-20 ft from the panel that will be supplying it but when it was in the minor repair garage area it was supplied by a panel in the mechanic’s office. It’s original disconnecting means from way before I got there was a twist-lock within ~2 ft of the unit.
My question is this, does the unit now need to be on a twist-lock for it’s disconnecting means or can it’s new branch circuit fees into a disconnect with a handle and then feed to the unit?
I can’t find anything in the 2017 NEC in Article 511 that helps me to determine what is required for an automotive lift. Is there another article I’m missing or a different code book that shows what is required for safety/maintenance?
