Aqua Creek F-RNGR2 Ranger 2 ADA Pool Lift, 350 lb Capacity, No Anchor
Independent pool access, built to last.
The Aqua Creek F-RNGR2 Ranger 2 Pool Lift (PST-FRNGR2C) gives you a stable, non-rotating ADA-compliant lift that delivers independent pool access in a single out-and-down motion. Built on a powder-coated stainless steel frame with a low-profile footprint, the Ranger 2 fits backyard pools, small hotels, therapy facilities, and community aquatic centers without sacrificing capacity or reliability. This is the no-anchor configuration, so it ships ready to drop into your existing anchor or pair with the Aqua Creek anchor kit of your choice.
Stainless Backbone
You get a frame built entirely from stainless steel with a baked-on powder coat finish, so chlorine, salt, splash, and UV cannot eat through it the way they do a painted steel column. The non-rotating column design loads side stress straight down into the anchor instead of twisting it, which is why Aqua Creek backs the structure with a 5-year limited warranty. The Ranger 2 ships fully assembled, lands on your deck ready to commission, and keeps a clean, low-profile look that blends with patio and pool-room decor.
Field Reversible Mount
You can install the Ranger 2 to seat the user on either the left or right side of the column without ordering a different SKU or buying a conversion kit. That matters when your deck space, ladder, or existing anchor sits where it sits and you cannot rebuild the pool to suit the lift. The 14 inch water draft and small footprint also let you place the Ranger 2 close to coping in tight backyard pools where larger 400 lb lifts will not fit.
Two-Button Independent Access
The Ranger 2 puts the user in control. A water-resistant 2-button corded handset drives the lift down into the pool and back up to the deck, so swimmers can transfer, descend, soak, and exit without an attendant standing over them. Flip-up armrests clear the way for a side transfer from a wheelchair or deck chair, the adjustable footrest supports tall and short users alike, and the included lap belt keeps the rider centered through the full out-and-down arc.
Who It's For
Backyard Residential Pools
The small footprint and 14 inch water draft fit standard residential decks where a full-size commercial lift cannot, giving family members independent pool access without rebuilding the deck.
Hotels and B and B Pools
Small lodging operators use the Ranger 2 to meet 2010 ADA Standards for accessible pool entry without committing to a permanent built-in lift or a larger 400-plus lb commercial unit.
Therapy and Rehab Pools
Aquatic therapy clinics rely on the non-rotating column and lap-belt seat to lower patients gently and predictably, supporting repetitive transfers across a clinical day.
HOA and Community Pools
Homeowner associations and small community pools use the Ranger 2 to add a compliant lift on tight pool decks where a Pro Series or Revolution lift will not fit.
Why PST Customers Pick This
ADA and UL Listed
Designed to meet 2010 ADA Standards for pool lifts and carries UL certification, so it satisfies code where lifts are required.
Rechargeable 24V Battery
A sealed 24-volt battery with wall-mount charger powers the lift, so no shore-power tether or hard-wired electrical drop is required on the deck.
Ships Fully Assembled
The lift lands on your deck ready to install. Drop it in your anchor, charge the battery, and you are ready to commission and use.
Built in the USA
Aqua Creek manufactures the Ranger 2 in Montana, with US-based service and parts support behind every lift sold.
Compact Footprint
The non-rotating column and 14 inch deck-to-water draft fit residential and small commercial decks where larger rotating lifts cannot.
No-Anchor Configuration
This F-RNGR2 ships without an anchor, so you can match it to your deck: concrete, paver, wood, or quick-release. Order the Aqua Creek anchor kit that fits your deck.
Installation Notice
Pool lifts must be installed per the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the manufacturer's anchor and deck-thickness requirements. An anchor is not included with the F-RNGR2 configuration. Verify your deck thickness, reinforcement, and water depth (42 to 48 inches recommended) before ordering an anchor kit, and have a qualified installer set the anchor so the lift loads safely under the full 350 lb capacity.
Full Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the F-RNGR2 no-anchor model and a Ranger 2 with anchor?
The F-RNGR2 ships without an anchor so you can match it to your deck. Aqua Creek offers concrete anchors, paver anchors, wood-deck anchors, and quick-attach knob anchors for the Ranger 2. If you already have a Ranger or Ranger 2 anchor installed, the no-anchor SKU drops straight in. If this is a new install, order an anchor kit alongside the lift.
What pool size and depth does the Ranger 2 fit?
The Ranger 2 is rated for residential and small commercial pools. Aqua Creek recommends a water depth of 42 to 48 inches measured from the deck to the pool floor at the lift location. The lift uses a 14 inch deck-to-water draft and a compact setback (14.5 to 19 inches), so it fits tight backyard decks and small hotel pools where a larger 400 lb lift will not.
Is the F-RNGR2 ADA compliant?
Yes. The Ranger 2 is designed to meet the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design for fixed pool lifts, including the 300 lb (minimum) capacity requirement, independent operation, and the required seat-clearance and water-submersion criteria. It is also UL certified for the electrical system.
Can I install the Ranger 2 myself?
The lift itself ships fully assembled, but the anchor must be installed correctly for the lift to be safe at full capacity. Concrete anchors require a core-drilled deck and grouted sleeve, paver anchors require a poured pad below the pavers, and wood-deck anchors require structural blocking. PST recommends a qualified pool installer or contractor set the anchor. After the anchor is set, mounting the lift and charging the battery is a one-person job.
How does the battery work and how long does a charge last?
The Ranger 2 runs on a sealed 24-volt rechargeable battery with a wall-mount charger. Aqua Creek rates the battery for many lift cycles per charge under residential and light commercial use. Store the lift off the deck or under the included canvas cover (sold separately) and top the battery off on the charger between sessions to maximize battery life.
Is the Ranger 2 field reversible?
Yes. The Ranger 2 is field reversible, meaning the same lift can be configured to seat the user on the left or right side of the column without ordering a different SKU. This matters when your deck layout, anchor location, or pool ladder forces a specific entry side.
What is covered by the warranty?
Aqua Creek backs the Ranger 2 with a 5-year limited structural warranty on the frame and a 5-year pro-rated warranty on the electronics (100 percent replacement coverage on non-structural components in years 1 and 2, with decreasing coverage in later years). PST handles warranty claims directly with Aqua Creek on your behalf as an authorized dealer.

Does what a small weed- eater would do it minutes versus an hour
Great product does exactly what was advertised to do.
I ordered the wrong part. Customer service was very helpful. I returned it and within the week my credit card was credited back. Excellent customer service policy.
There was a delay in shipping due to postal service. They sent another part right away.
New model 59303 works great, but too bad the last generation Balboa WiFi module 50350 became un-useable.
Exactly as advertised and super fast shipping and delivery
