The Consul 4-post lift model 4.55 SN is a robust and versatile lifting solution specifically designed for lifting passenger cars and commercial vehicles, as well as for wheel alignment, with a total weight capacity of up to 5,500 kg. It is particularly suitable for the safe and precise handling of vehicles with long wheelbases. The version equipped with an integrated wheel lift (3,500 kg capacity) provides maximum flexibility during workshop operations.
This lift combines reliability, advanced hydraulic technology, and user-friendly operation, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic workshops.
The Consul 4.55 SN lift includes several design features that increase efficiency and safety:
Low Noise Hydraulics: The hydraulic drive running in oil guarantees extremely quiet operation, contributing to a more pleasant working environment.
Electro-hydraulic Control: Ensures precise and reliable operation throughout the entire lifting process.
Operating Direction: The controls are located on the rear left, according to the vehicle's installation direction, optimizing the operator's position.
Safety Switches: It features a separate main switch compliant with CE directives, which can be locked if necessary.
Acoustic Foot Protection: Provides increased safety for the operator during lifting and lowering.
Advanced Hydraulic System: Hydraulic ram cylinders, as well as safety functions such as protection against loose cables and roll back protection.
Platform Design: Platforms equipped with 1,500 mm long ramps are also ideal for sporty, low-profile vehicles.
Adjustable Platform: One platform is fully adjustable, equipped with a locking mechanism. Optionally available in a roller-guided version.
Integrated Jacking Beam Rails: An integrated rail system for the jacking beams required for wheel alignment is located in the platforms.
Integrated Wheel Lift: The wheel lift with a capacity of 3,500 kg and extendable supports operates with a Master/Slave hydraulic system for synchronized lifting.
Accessories: The scope of delivery includes 40 mm elastomer supports (pick ups).
Pneumatic Locking: Central control for the pneumatic locking system (8 bar operating pressure).
Height Locking: Locking rods ensure mechanical support at 100 mm intervals throughout the entire lifting height.
Certifications: GS-certified, compliant with EN 1493 standard and possessing CE marking.
If the lift is ordered with the runway installation kit, the following functions will be integrated:
Full-Width Slide Plates: Installation of full-size sliding plates required for runway installation.
Turntable System: Design for accommodating 50 mm high turntables, with a continuous turntable surface.

The Consul 4.55 SN utilizes a low-noise, oil-immersed hydraulic drive. This technology not only reduces noise pollution but also contributes to the system's long service life by optimizing lubrication. The main lifting function is provided by a high-performance 3.0 kW motor, capable of reaching maximum lifting height under load in 55 seconds. The system includes the hydraulic cylinder, as well as critical safety elements: the cable breakage protection and anti-slip protection.
The 5,500 kg load capacity allows for the safe lifting of most passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The 5,500 mm long runways are ideal for modern vehicles with long wheelbases. The platforms are 630 mm wide, and their distance is adjustable between 690 mm and 1,140 mm, allowing even wider models to be conveniently positioned.
The 1,500 mm long ramps facilitate vehicle entry, especially for lower sports cars. One runway with locking mechanism is equipped, which can optionally be supplemented with a roller guide system for even faster and more flexible positioning.
The 3,500 kg capacity integrated wheel free lift is essential for complex wheel and brake service operations.
Master/Slave System: For synchronized lifting, the wheel free lift operates with a Master/Slave hydraulic system, which guarantees that both lifting points always remain at the same height.
Extendable Supports: Supports extendable in the range from 1,400 mm to 1,900 mm allow adaptation to different track widths.
Fast Operation: The wheel free lift reaches a lifting height of 450 mm in just 15 seconds.
Safety is a central element of the design:
Mechanical Locking: At the full lifting height, locking rods placed every 100 mm ensure mechanical support, independent of the hydraulic system.
Pneumatic Central Locking: The pneumatic system with 8 bar pressure centrally controls the locking devices.
Protection Class: IP 54 protection rating, which ensures protection against dust and splashing water.
Standards: Complies with the strict DIN EN 1493 requirements and has CE approval.
