Like most Covenant warships, the ''CCS''-class battlecruiser is equipped with a single ventrally mounted [[gravity lift]], enabling quick and easy transportation of personnel, vehicles, equipment and supplies to a planet's surface. A large, circular platform can be detached and lowered to the ground to provide a stable surface for disembarking and embarking troops, vehicles, and matériel. The platform has six interlocking hinges and is carried with the ship; when the cruiser is in position over a planet's surface, the six interlocks retract and the beam repels the platform at a controlled descent to the surface. Once on the ground the platform acts as an anchor for the ship. The ship can make use of the gravity lift without the platform, but it must remain in position.{{Ref/Reuse|StnLfts}}{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} When attached to the ship, the central gravity platform doubles as the firing port for the energy projector,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} like that of the ''CAS''-class assault carrier and the {{ | Like most Covenant warships, the ''CCS''-class battlecruiser is equipped with a single ventrally mounted [[gravity lift]], enabling quick and easy transportation of personnel, vehicles, equipment and supplies to a planet's surface.

The gravity lift bay is similar in design to the cargo bays except that it is only one level high. The gravity lift's door mechanism is situated in the center of the room, with cargo and personnel hatches located around the rectangular bay's walls. Several gravity lift bays are on board the cruisers, not far from the cargo and shuttle bays. Each bay has four cargo hatches along opposite walls for vehicle transfer.{{Ref/Reuse|StnLfts}}{{Ref/Reuse|T&R}} | The gravity lift bay is similar in design to the cargo bays except that it is only one level high.
