The Consul HD FLEX® II 2.55 G two-post lift is tailored to the needs of modern workshops, offering outstanding load capacity and unparalleled flexibility for vehicle servicing. This user-friendly, hydraulic lift provides an ideal solution for handling vehicle fleets ranging from smaller Smart models up to long-wheelbase Volkswagen Crafter and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. Thanks to the revolutionary design, the arms provide a wider pickup range and optimal positioning possibilities.
During the design of the HD FLEX® II series, safety, efficiency, and minimizing maintenance were the central focus. Eliminating the cables and hydraulic hoses customary on conventional lifts guarantees a clean, tidy workspace while ensuring reliable operation.
Outstanding Structural Elements:
Cable- and Hose-Free Design: No hydraulic hose or steel cable visible on the exposed parts, which increases safety and reduces maintenance requirements.
Special, Machining-Free Columns: The columns are made from special hot-rolled sections without a fixed connecting element, allowing for more flexible installation.
Roller Guidance: The carriage structure is guided by 6 high-load capacity rollers, ensuring smooth and precise lifting/lowering movement.
High Pressure Hydraulics: The drive is provided by 2 high-pressure hydraulic cylinders, enabling stable and powerful lifting.
Softline Push-Button Control: The Softline push-button control with electrical synchronization ensures intuitive and precise operation.
Safety Solutions:
Separate Main Switch: Lockable main switch compliant with CE regulations for safe shutdown.
Automatic Arm Locking: Automatic arm locking system with manual release function.
Pressure-Free Locking/Resting Option: A pressure-free hydraulic system achieves a safe working position.
Acoustic Foot Protection: Prevents accidental injuries during work performed under the vehicle.
Motors with Thermal Protection: The motors have built-in thermal protection to prevent overloading.
Convenience Features:
Quick couplings: Quick connectors for air supply are available on both sides.
Padded Door Impact Buffer: Protects the vehicle door from damage.
Full Column Internal Cladding: The interior of the columns is fully covered, protecting the mechanics from contamination.
Installation Flexibility: The installation width can be varied without reducing the load capacity.
