The Consul 1-Piston In-ground Lift Multi-Chassis is an extremely versatile, single-cylinder, in-ground lift designed specifically to meet the demands of flexible vehicle handling in workshops. This model offers an ideal solution for vehicles ranging from smaller ones, such as the Smart Fortwo (BR453), up to longer vans, such as the long version of the VW T6. The Multi-Chassis design ensures the necessary adaptability for different wheelbases and chassis sizes thanks to the 3-piece, double-extendable lifting arms.
This in-ground lift can be perfectly integrated into the floor, minimizing space requirements while providing maximum access to the underside of the vehicle. The robust design and compliance with strict safety regulations guarantee reliable and safe operation.
This service lift prioritizes efficiency and safety, equipped with several features that facilitate the challenges encountered during daily workshop work:
Versatile Pick-up Range: Capable of safely lifting vehicles ranging from the size of a Smart Fortwo (BR453) up to longer, heavier vans, such as the long version of the VW T6. This wide spectrum makes it ideal for workshops with mixed fleet sizes.
3-Piece Extendable Lifting Arms: The lifting arms consist of three segments, which enable an extremely large extension range, approximately from 530 mm to 1,140 mm. This flexibility is critical for optimal positioning relative to different vehicle geometries.
Adjustable Lifting Arms Pads: The pick-up plates located at the end of the lifting arms can be adjusted by approximately 25 mm, allowing for fine-tuning to reach the exact lifting points.
Hard Rubber Profile: The pick-up plates are fitted with a hard rubber profile that protects the vehicle chassis from scratches during lifting while ensuring stable contact.
Lifting Arm Locking Mechanism: For safe operation, the lifting arms are equipped with a locking mechanism that prevents unintentional movement or slippage during lifting.
Compliance with Standards: The lift complies with DIN EN 1493 standard and has CE approval, guaranteeing adherence to high-level European safety and quality requirements.
Low Minimum Height: The extremely low bottom clearance of approx. 95 mm also allows for the easy pick-up of very low-profile vehicles.
