The Consul 2-Ram system has been developed with the most modern workshop requirements in mind. The swivel arms (Swivel arms) are crucial elements of the system as they allow for the precise support of vehicles with different wheelbases and track widths. The arms' three-part construction and double extension capability ensure that even vehicles with a wheelbase of 4,325 mm can be lifted safely and optimally.
A arm locking device (Arm locking device) is a critical safety function that mechanically secures the arms in the desired position, preventing accidental movement during hydraulic operation.
The surface of the lifting tables is equipped with a hard rubber profile, which ensures excellent grip while protecting the vehicle's body or chassis from pressure-induced damage. Fine-tuning the height is done using the threaded spindle which allows for millimeter-precise adjustment with a 25 mm stroke, essential for professional servicing.
The distance between the 2,500 mm columns provides sufficient stability for a load of 6,500 kg, while the maximum lifting height of 2,185 mm creates comfortable working conditions for the mechanics.
To further increase the flexibility of the system, Consul offers a range of accessories compatible with this swivel arm lift (especially for models with capacities from 4.5 tons upwards):
Spacers: Available in various sizes (50 mm, 100 mm, 12 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm), these allow for further extension of the lift arms or more precise reaching of vehicle support points. These kits generally consist of 4 pieces.
Pick up support from 4.5 t: An accessory specifically recommended for SUVs and commercial vehicles (1 set = 2 pcs), ensuring proper support for heavier vehicles with higher chassis.
Important Note: A detailed brochure (in PDF format) is also available for the product, containing further installation and operating information.
This Consul 2-Ram submersible, pivotable arm lifting system represents a robust, safe, and extremely flexible lifting solution for high-performance commercial vehicle repair shops.
