The Consul 2.35 MKK type, twin-cylinder, inground (unterflur) lifting system offers an ideal solution for lifting passenger cars and most light commercial vehicles (e.g., VW T5) in a workshop environment. With a load capacity of 3500 kg, the system is excellently suited for bodywork repairs and the use of vehicle lifts, thanks to the strategically designed cylinder spacing.
This model belongs to the Consul Twin Ram Inground Lifts category and is characterized by a reliable, durable design. Important note: The installation of the lift must mandatorily be combined with the appropriate chassis element.
The Consul 2.35 MKK lift contains several design elements that guarantee safe and efficient operation:
Integrated Installation Cassette: The structure has an installation cassette equipped with a galvanized profile steel frame, which ensures a long service life and corrosion resistance.
Chrome-Plated Guide Cylinders: The hydraulic cylinders are fitted with hard-chrome-plated pistons, resulting in smooth running and minimal wear.
Electro-Hydraulic Drive: The drive unit is located externally to the lifting unit, which facilitates maintenance.
Mechanical Synchronization: Mechanical synchronization is achieved with the help of a yoke, which also functions as a safety device.
Hydraulic Synchronization During Lowering: Adjustable restrictor valves ensure safe and even lowering.
Electronic Control: The system features electronic control and a built-in safety valve.
Excellent Protection: The unit belongs to protection class IP54, has GS certification, and complies with DIN EN 1493 and CE standards.
Utility Connection: Connection stub DN 100 to a KG pipe for cassette ventilation and the creation of the hydraulic line network.
Cassette Cover: The cassette cover is entirely galvanized.
