The Consul 2-Post Lift Premium EL® 2.35 model belongs to the Consul C-Line premium category, specifically tailored for the demands of modern workshops. This professional two-post lift without a base frame (posts can be mounted directly onto the floor) offers an ideal solution for lifting smaller vehicles, such as the Smart Fortwo BR453, as well as long-wheelbase medium-sized commercial vehicles, for example, the VW T6. Reliability, precise control, and safe operation are guaranteed in accordance with the highest industrial standards.
The Premium EL® 2.35 series is designed with durability and user-friendly design in mind. The structure incorporates several features that optimize workflows and increase safety:
Special Rolled Column Profiles: The lift posts are made of specially rolled profiles, ensuring excellent rigidity and a long service life even under heavy loads.
Installation Orientation: The posts are installed perpendicular to the vehicle's lifting direction, providing optimal access to the vehicle.
Precise Carriage Guidance: The load-bearing carriages are guided by six (6) rollers, resulting in an extremely smooth and stable lifting/lowering movement.
Safety Mechanisms:
Load Screw and Safety Nut: A combination of a bronze load screw and a cast light metal safety nut ensures the secure retention of the load.
Broken Nut Lift-Locking: Special function that prevents unwanted lowering even in the event of a broken safety nut.
Acoustic Foot Protection: An audible alarm warns of hazardous zones, increasing personal safety.
Control Panel:
Softline Push-Button Control: Modern, ergonomic push-button control unit featuring a computer-controlled leveling system for perfect horizontal positioning.
Main Switch: Lockable main switch located directly on the column for quick and safe power disconnection.
Full Column Cladding: The inner part of the column is completely covered, protecting the hydraulic and electrical components from contamination and external influences.
Adjustable Arms and Extensions:
Padded Door Impact Buffer: Protects the vehicle door from damage.
Adjustable Pickup Plate: The pick-up plate is adjustable by approx. 25 mm, ensuring flexible adaptation.
Arm Locking System: The arms are easily adjustable and can be locked in 300 mm increments, ensuring stable support.
