This product description presents the Consul 1-Piston (single hydraulic cylinder) in-ground lift system with H-beam chassis (H-Chassis), specifically designed for lifting vehicles with a load capacity of 3,500 kg. This chassis is the foundation for reliable and space-saving lifting solutions, ideal for workshops where integration into the floor level is crucial.
The Consul H-Chassis is a robust structural element that ensures the optimal stability and operation of the single-cylinder in-ground lift. The design prioritizes flexibility and durability, enabling the safe lifting of a wide range of vehicles.
Main design features:
H-Beam Construction: The main supporting structure is made of an H-profile, which guarantees excellent rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
Adjustable Sliding Plate System: The H-beam consists of four aluminum sliding plates that are adjustable both longitudinally and transversely. This feature is extremely important for the precise positioning of vehicles with different wheelbase dimensions and track widths.
Surface treatment: The beam is supplied in a painted version, ensuring basic corrosion protection.
Elastomer Adapters: The set includes 20 mm thick elastomer adapters, which protect the vehicle chassis from direct mechanical stress and slipping during the lifting process.
Fixing Materials: The fastening materials required for installation are part of the package.
Quality Assurance: The product has GS certification, as well as compliance with DIN EN 1493 and CE standards, guaranteeing adherence to the highest safety regulations.
The table below details the critical technical parameters of the Consul 1-Piston H-Chassis 3,500 kg capacity variant:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Load Capacity | 3,500 kg | Maximum safe load. |
| Lifting Height | ca. 1.862 mm | Measured from the floor level. |
| Lifting Surface in Longitudinal Direction | 1,300 – 1,912 mm | Adjustable range along the vehicle length. |
| Lifting Surface in Transverse Direction | 700 – 1,900 mm | Adjustable range along the vehicle track width. |
| Construction Height / Resting Height | ca. 68 mm | Extremely low profile for in-ground installation. |
| SKU (Item Number) | 491308 | Internal Identifier. |
| HAN (Manufacturer Code) | 473758 | Manufacturer identifier. |
| Category | Single Hydraulic Cylinder In-Ground Lifts |
One of the biggest advantages of the H-Chassis is the adjustable pickup range. The longitudinal (between 1,300 mm and 1,912 mm) and transverse (between 700 mm and 1,900 mm) adjustment options ensure that workshops can safely secure and lift almost any passenger car or smaller commercial vehicle. The aluminum sliding plates allow for light yet extremely stable movement during adjustment.
Consul products comply with strict European regulations. The DIN EN 1493 standard incorporates the most important safety requirements for lifting equipment, while the CE marking certifies the product's conformity with health, safety, and environmental requirements. The GS certificate (Geprüfte Sicherheit – Tested Safety) signifies further independent quality assurance.
The mere approx. 68 mm resting height allows for an extremely low installation depth. This minimizes disturbance to the floor surface and ensures that the lift is almost completely hidden when not in use, allowing the workshop floor to be used barrier-free.
The product description highlights accessories that can further increase the functionality and lifespan of the lift, especially if the lift is equipped with an integrated auxiliary lift:
Elastomer adapters are essential for protecting vehicles. These rubber inserts absorb vibration and prevent damage to the bodywork. They are available in various thicknesses to suit different vehicles and lifting points:
250 x 150 x 20 mm
250 x 150 x 40 mm
250 x 150 x 60 mm
250 x 150 x 90 mm
These kits (in units of 4 pieces) are ideal for lifts equipped with integrated auxiliary lifts.
To meet professional demands, Consul offers additional customization options:
Galvanized H-Beam (Surcharge): For a surcharge, the H-beam can also be supplied with hot-dip galvanization. This surface treatment significantly increases corrosion resistance, which is especially recommended for installations in wet or aggressive environments.
Special Drill Pattern: If the chassis needs to be adapted to an existing lifting unit, a special drill pattern can be ordered. The article number of the existing chassis must be referenced when ordering. (Note: Supplied without fixing materials.)
Rotation Prevention Lug (Surcharge): For a surcharge, a rotation prevention lug can also be ordered, which further increases stability in case of heavy or asymmetric loads.
Detailed technical documentation is also available for the product:
This Consul H-Chassis 3,500 kg version is a reliable, standards-compliant base that guarantees the long-term, safe operation of the in-ground lift system, even in the most demanding service environments.
