The Consul 4-post lift 4.65 model is a robust and reliable solution for lifting passenger cars and commercial vehicles, especially concerning wheel alignment tasks. This high-performance lift is also excellently suited for servicing long-wheelbase vehicles, guaranteeing maximum safety and precision in the workshop environment.
The Consul 4.65 lift is built to the highest quality and safety standards, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic services where reliability and fast execution are essential.
This 4-post lift incorporates several design elements that optimize usability and safety:
High Load Capacity: Its nominal load capacity of 6,500 kg also allows for the safe lifting of heavy commercial vehicles.
Low Installation Height: The installation height, optimized for wheel alignment, is only approx. 185 mm (optionally 235 mm with AM version), facilitating the drive-on of sporty or low-profile vehicles.
Hydraulic System: The quiet-running, oil-bath hydraulic drive ensures a smooth and reliable lifting process.
Electro-hydraulic Control: Modern control system for precise and easy operation.
Safety Features: Redundant safety system, including a tension-free cable, cable break protection, and rollback protection.
Acoustic Foot Protection: Increases personal safety during lifting and lowering.
Operating Direction: Operation is performed on the rear left side, corresponding to the vehicle's drive-on direction.
Main Switch: Main switch disconnected according to CE requirements, which can be locked if necessary.
The Consul 4.65 lift is specifically designed for precise wheel alignment, featuring several integrated functions:
Long Approach Ramps: 1,500 mm long drive-on ramps ensure comfortable drive-on for sporty and long-wheelbase vehicles.
Adjustable Platform: One platform is fully adjustable, equipped with a locking mechanism. Optionally available with roller guidance for even finer positioning.
Integrated Jack Beam Rail: The rail integrated into the platform allows for the simple and precise placement of jacking beams.
Pneumatic Locking: Central control for the pneumatic locking device (8 bar pressure required).
Height-dependent Locking: Locking rods placed in 100 mm increments across the entire lifting height ensure mechanical support.
If the lift is ordered with the wheel alignment kit, the following functions become available:
Integrated Full-Length Sliding Plates: Slide-on surfaces required for precise adjustment.
Turntable System: Suitable for 50 mm high systems, turntable cover with series mounting.
