The Consul 4.45 K-SN is an extremely compact four-post lift, specially optimized for lifting passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, as well as for wheel alignment. This model is an excellent choice for workshops where space-saving and high load capacity are both essential. The maximum load capacity of 4,500 kg and the integrated wheel lift capability (up to 3,500 kg) allow for flexible use.
The 4.45 K-SN model combines reliability, safety, and modern hydraulic technology, ensuring efficient and precise operation.
This 4-post lift incorporates several design elements that enhance user comfort and safety:
Integrated Wheel Lift: The wheel-free lift with built-in, pull-out supports allows the wheels to be lifted freely, which is essential for precise wheel alignment. The wheel-free lift operates with a Master/Slave hydraulic system for synchronized lifting.
Compact Design: The ramp height of just 145 mm (optionally 195 mm in the AM version) provides an extremely low approach height, which is particularly advantageous for sports cars or low-profile vehicles.
Safe Operation: The lift's hydraulic system features a low-noise drive operating in oil. Safety systems include the hydraulic tension cylinder, protection against loose cables, cable break monitoring, and anti-roll-back protection.
Ergonomic Handling: Electro-hydraulic control and the main switch (lockable according to CE directives) allow for simple operation. Acoustic foot protection further enhances safety.
Optimized for Wheel Alignment: The platforms feature 1000 mm long access ramps, which are also ideal for sports vehicles. One platform is almost fully adjustable, equipped with a locking mechanism. When ordering with the wheel alignment kit, integrated full-size jacking plates and supports (up to 50 mm height) are available.
The precise technical parameters of the Consul 4.45 K-SN lift ensure long-lasting, reliable performance.

Durability and user-friendly operation were the focus during the design of the Consul 4.45 K-SN lift:
Hydraulic System: The low-noise hydraulic drive operating in oil guarantees a smooth and reliable lifting/lowering process.
Control: The electro-hydraulic control unit is located at the front left of the lift, ensuring easy access.
Mechanical Locking Device: Locking rods placed in 100 mm increments across the full lifting height provide mechanical latching, supplementing the hydraulic safety systems. The pneumatic locking device operates with central control (8 bar pressure required).
Platforms: The 500 x 4,440 mm running surfaces provide sufficient space for most passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The access ramps are 1000 mm long, which facilitates driving on.
The 4.45 K-SN lift can be flexibly expanded to suit workshop requirements:
Column Distance Extension: A special adapter kit (Consul Adaption for enlargement of column distance to 3,000 mm) is optionally available, which can increase the clear column distance to 3,000 mm for the 4.45 series.
Wheel Alignment Set: Available for the full-value wheel alignment Consul Wheel Alignment Set (4.45 K-SN), which includes integrated full-size jacking plates and 50 mm high turntables.
Jacking Plate Retrofit Kit: If the lift is retrofitted with jacking plates afterwards, the corresponding Consul Jacking Plate Retrofit Kit is available for flat platforms.
Special Adapters: Adapters for 3D wheel alignment systems (e.g., Beissbarth Easy 3D) are also available for retrofitting.
Auxiliary Lift (Option): Available for a surcharge: Consul Auxiliary Lift, spray galvanized version (Auxiliary lift, spray galvanized – SURCHARGE), which provides further lifting capabilities.
Anti-slip Coating: For a surcharge, but cannot be retrofitted anti-slip coating can be requested for the run-up surfaces.
Drive-on & Drive-off Ramps: Separately orderable drive-on/drive-off ramps with anti-roll-back protection, for in-ground (recessed) installation, with or without wheel lift.
This Consul 4-post lift is the ideal choice for professionals looking for a robust, safe, and space-saving solution for daily service work, especially for wheel alignment tasks.
