The Consul HD FLEX® II 2.40 is a flexibly installable, two-post hydraulic lift based on proven mechanical Premium technology. It is specifically optimized for servicing long-wheelbase vans and commercial vehicles (4,025 mm), while offering the characteristic cable- and hydraulic hose-free design of the Consul HD FLEX® series. This lift prioritizes reliability, safety, and flexible operation for modern workshops.
The design of the HD FLEX® II 2.40 minimizes maintenance requirements and maximizes uptime by eliminating the frequent failure points of conventional two-post lifts:
Cable- and Hose-Free Design: No hydraulic hose and no steel cable between the two posts. This drastically reduces wear, maintenance costs, and downtime.
Special Profile Columns: Specially rolled profile columns without fixed connections ensure high stability and flexible installation possibilities.
Precise Carriage Guidance: The load-bearing carriages are guided by 6 rollers, guaranteeing an extremely smooth and stable lifting/lowering process.
High-Performance Hydraulics: High-pressure hydraulic drive with 2 high-pressure cylinders ensures fast and reliable operation.
Electronic Synchronization: The Softline push-button control features electronic synchronization, which guarantees the perfect simultaneous movement of the two columns.
Automatic Arm Locking: The arms lock automatically at a height of 300 mm, ensuring safe working.
Pressure-Free System: Allows setting locking/resting positions by depressurizing the hydraulic system, increasing flexibility during workflows.
Convenience Features: Air supply with quick connectors on both sides, as well as a padded door protector for vehicle protection.
Safety Standards: IP54 protection class, GS certificate, DIN EN 1493, and CE approval.

During the design of the Consul HD FLEX® II 2.40 lift, special attention was paid to user experience and maximum safety:
Control: The control panel features Softline push-buttons, enabling intuitive and easy operation.
Main Switch: The main switch is separate and can be locked as needed (in compliance with CE regulations).
Engine Protection: The motors are equipped with thermal protection to avoid overloading.
Full Column Cladding: The interior of the column is completely covered, which protects the internal mechanics from contamination and improves the aesthetic appearance.
Acoustic Foot Protection: Built-in acoustic protection during lowering, which warns of danger.
For maximum flexibility, the lift can be extended with a number of optional accessories:
Self-supporting Base Frame (Optional): Allows the lift to be installed even in places where the floor is not suitable for direct fixing (e.g., insufficient concrete thickness).
Second Control Unit (Optional): A second control unit is available for the „slave” column, usable for HD Flex and HD Pro series with Softline pushbutton control and air connection. This significantly increases workshop flexibility, especially for long vehicles.
Drive-on Ramps: Set of 4 drive-on ramps available for easier vehicle loading.
Lift pads with turntable inserts: Set of 4, with Ø 100 mm turntable inserts (instead of the standard Ø 130 mm).
Fastening Material: Fixing material set up to 7,000 kg capacity, containing 12 M16 anchor bolts, threaded rods, and washers.
ConSoft Diagnostic Software: Maintenance and diagnostic software for two-post lifts.
Limit Switches: Ceiling limit switch with light barrier or manual pull switch for precise control of the maximum lifting height.
Spacers (100 mm): 1 set (4 pcs) of spacers for Consul swing arm lifts up to 4 tons.
The Consul HD FLEX® II 2.40 is the ideal choice for service workshops looking for a reliable, high-capacity lift with minimal space and maintenance requirements, especially considering the servicing of modern long-wheelbase commercial vehicles.
