This detailed description refers to the Consul 0.42 S-AM BE type, 4560 mm scissor lift, which is specifically designed for workshop and service environments, particularly for wheel alignment and general lifting tasks. This model belongs to the Consul C-Line and Z-Line product series, and thanks to its in-ground installation (BE) design, it ensures floor-level access, maximizing the working area.
The Consul 0.42 S-AM BE is an electro-hydraulic, in-ground scissor lift ideal for lifting passenger cars and vehicles up to 4,200 kg gross weight. Its outstanding feature is the level lifting height, which creates perfect conditions for precise brake testing and wheel alignment tasks. The „S-AM” designation indicates synchronized lifting and movable sliding plates, while the „BE” confirms the in-ground (Bodeneinbau) design.
This lift is manufactured in compliance with the highest safety and quality standards, including DIN EN 1493 and CE standards.
In-ground Installation (BE): The entire lift is installed below floor level, ensuring that the lift platforms are completely flush with the surrounding floor when lowered. This guarantees unobstructed drive-on and drive-off for vehicles and creates an optimal working environment.
Optimized for Wheel Alignment: The configuration allows vehicles to be fixed in a fixed, horizontal groove, which is essential for the precise use of modern 3D wheel alignment systems.
Synchronized Hydraulics: The Master/Slave hydraulic system guarantees perfect synchronization of the platforms even under asymmetrical loads, ensuring a safe and smooth lift.
Integrated Receptacle System: The receptacle points equipped with a cover plate allow for the integration of turntables (up to 50 mm height) required for 3D wheel alignment equipment.

The design of the Consul lift focused on durability, safety, and ease of handling:
Special Rolled Steel Platforms: The runways are made of extremely robust, special hot-rolled profiles, which guarantee high rigidity and a long service life.
Corrosion Protection: The runways and platforms are equipped as standard with 20 mm thick, split fixed and sliding bearings, which are galvanized (serially hot-dip galv.), providing excellent protection against corrosion.
Adjustable Sliding Plates: The platforms are equipped with adjustable, full-size sliding plates (sliding plates) that can be adapted to the vehicle's wheelbase. These plates are split and can be adjusted to the positions required for wheel alignment.
Drive-Through Version: The platforms have drive-over ramps, which facilitate vehicle positioning.
Electro-hydraulic Control: The system ensures reliable and fast operation.
Pneumatic Release: When lowering, the mechanical locking brake is released pneumatically via a push button, which is a convenient and fast process.
Mechanical Locking System: A 17-position mechanical locking system secures the vehicle at the desired height, supplementing the hydraulic system for maximum safety.
Safety Switches: Acoustic toe protection and a separately switchable main switch (in accordance with CE requirements) increase workplace safety.
Brake Testing Capability: The lift is suitable for brake testing in a fixed, level position (Wheel alignment in fixed levelled position).
Integrated Rail for Jack Lift: A rail integrated into the platforms allows for simple and safe positioning of the hydraulic jacking beams for lifting the vehicle chassis.
Socket Outlet: The unit is equipped with a 230 V socket (IP 54 protection rating), which increases workshop flexibility.
The Consul 0.42 S-AM BE lift can be flexibly extended to adapt to workshop needs. Although the main product is the built-in unit, the following accessories are available (for completeness):
3D Wheel Balancer Adapter Set: Adapter kits (set of 2) that can be retrofitted specifically for Beissbarth Easy 3D systems.
Anti-slip Coating: Anti-slip coating available for platforms (not retrofittable).
Control Panel Placement: Option for positioning the control console on the right side (at an extra charge).
Illumination: Optional LED lighting (4 LED lamps, not pre-installed) for improved working conditions.
Turntable Replacement Cassettes: Interchangeable cassettes (475 / 630 mm) for wheel alignment equipment.
Platform Accessories: 250 mm platform extension (maximum 1 can be ordered).
Fastening Material: Special fastening kit for the 0.35/0.40 series (28 pcs M16 reaction bolts and screws).
This Consul scissor lift is the perfect combination of reliability, precision, and modern workshop requirements, offering a long-term, efficient solution for vehicle services.
