This detailed description presents the Consul 0.42 S-AM BA – 4560 mm presents the technical specifications and advantages of a type, floor-mounted electro-hydraulic scissor lift, specifically designed for lifting vehicles and precise, level wheel alignment operations. The equipment is an ideal choice for workshops requiring a reliable, high-capacity, and functionally versatile lifting solution.
The Consul 0.42 S-AM BA is a robustly designed, floor-mounted (BA – Bodenaufbau) scissor lift with a maximum load capacity of 4,200 kg. Its outstanding feature is that it allows for lifting vehicles fully horizontal, at a fixed height for wheel alignment operations. The design includes full-size sliding plates and an integrated turntable lifting system with a cassette solution, ensuring maximum flexibility in handling different vehicle geometries.
This lift is ideal for vehicles whose total weight does not exceed 4,000 kg, and where a perfectly horizontal working height is essential for precise suspension alignment.
The Consul 0.42 S-AM BA lift incorporates several design elements that increase safety, durability, and usability:
Platform Material: The runways are made of special rolled steel profiles, guaranteeing exceptional rigidity and long service life, even under heavy loads.
Control: Electro-hydraulic control system ensures smooth and reliable lifting and lowering processes.
Hydraulic System: Application of a Master/Slave hydraulic system guarantees even load distribution and leveling.
Installation Method: Floor-mounted (BA – Bodenaufbau) design, which allows for simpler installation, not requiring a deep pit.
Pneumatic Release: When lowering, the mechanical locks can be released pneumatically by pressing a push button, enabling convenient and fast operation.
Safety Switches: Features a CE compliant, lockable main switch.
Acoustic Protection: Foot protection system ensures the operator's safety during the lowering phase.
Mechanical Locking: 17-step mechanical locking system ensures safe holding at various heights.
Bearing: Split, 20 mm thick fixed and moving bearing surfaces (galvanized as standard) ensure minimum friction and long-term reliability. Calibration for wheel alignment is optionally available.
Drive-on Ramps: The platforms are equipped with approach ramps and anti-roll back protection.
Wheel Alignment: Especially suitable for fixed, horizontal position wheel alignment.
Slip Plate Integration: The pickup points, equipped with a 50 mm high slip plate cover, included in the standard version, enable the use of slip plates.
Sliding plates: Adjustable, full-size sliding plates ensure the necessary lateral clearance for wheel alignment adjustment.
Jacking Beam Rails: Integrated rail system for jacking beams, further increasing the flexibility of working underneath the vehicle.
Protection and Standards: IP 54 protection class, 230 V socket, GS certificate, DIN EN 1493 and CE compliance.

For maximum functionality, Consul offers several accessories for this model, which can also be retrofitted (if permitted by the manufacturer):
3D Wheel Alignment Adapter Kit: Adapters for connection to 3D wheel alignment systems (e.g., Beissbarth Easy 3D). These kits enable precise wheel alignment on the lift.
Anti-slip Coating: Special anti-slip coating for the runways (note: this coating cannot be retrofitted to already manufactured platforms).
Drive-on Ramps: Various length approach ramps, including the standard ramp of 1,000 mm length with anti-rollback protection, as well as longer, straight, extended ramps (approx. 1,500 mm).
Illumination: Optional lighting packages, such as 4 LED lamps (unassembled), complete with switch and cabling.
Control Panel Placement: Option for positioning the control console on the right side (at an extra charge).
Fixing Materials: Special fixing kits (e.g., for the 0.35/0.40 series), which include the necessary M16 anchor bolts and nuts for professional floor mounting.
Slip Plate Replacement Cassettes: Replacement carriers in sizes 475 / 630 mm for existing slip plates, allowing for easier adjustment for certain operations.
By using the Consul 0.42 S-AM BA lift, workshops benefit from the following advantages:
Precise Wheel Service: The fixed, horizontal lifting position ensures that wheel alignment is performed under the vehicle's natural load condition, minimizing measurement errors.
Easy Access: The floor-installed (BA) design and low installation height (approx. 310 mm) facilitate vehicle lifting, even for models with low chassis.
Integrated Functionality: The combined use of sliding plates and the slip plate cassette system allows for flexible work without the lift having to leave the horizontal adjustment.
Robust Construction: The Consul structure, made of high-quality, thick profile steel, guarantees long-term, intensive industrial use.
This Consul scissor lift offers the perfect combination of reliability, compliance with high safety standards, and functions optimized for wheel alignment tasks.
