The main criteria for choosing a car service for car repair or maintenance are quality and punctuality. To perform work efficiently, car service employees must have access to vehicle components, including the brake system and wheels. This can be ensured by special auto-lifting mechanisms, among the numerous models of which Launch four-post lift.
Car lifts are devices designed to lift and fix vehicles of various weights at a certain height. Made in China, the Launch 4-post lift is capable of lifting vehicles weighing over 4 tons to a height of 1900 cm. The load capacity of the device is the most important selection criterion, since this indicator determines which category of cars a car service can service. With the help of car lifts, the repair of the bottom is facilitated.
What is the difference between four-post car service lifts
In terms of design, four-post car lift is a large structure. It is equipped with a movable platform that rises up four supports (columns). The vehicle is driven onto a movable platform along special bridges, securely fixed, after which the platform with sides to prevent slipping raises the car to the required height.
At four-column lifts for adjusting the camber the entire platform rises, unlike two-column models, on which cars are picked up under the bottom for lifting. To increase the rigidity of the platform, special extensions are provided.
We offer four-post car service lifts with different types of platforms:
- smooth;
- long smooth;
- to adjust the alignment;
- with additional micro lifter.
The lifting of the platform is carried out by means of cables installed in the columns, which drive and synchronize the hydraulic cylinder located in one of the columns. The hydraulic station is equipped with a control panel that allows you to manage the processes of lifting, lowering and blocking. An air valve is provided for lowering the platform. Thanks to the presence of a safety mechanism, the platform remains at a height even in the event of a break in the hydraulic line.
Four-post car lifts can lift freight vehicles weighing up to 50 tons.
4-post car lifts for wheel alignment: features
4-post car lift is designed to adjust wheel alignment of vehicles of various types and carrying capacity. It is equipped with front turning circles, rear movable platforms and pneumohydraulic traverses (traverses provide lifting of the front of the car).
Among the advantages that distinguish 4-post camber lift, it should be noted:
- high level of safety when performing work;
- excellent stability;
- low noise level during ascents/descents.
Thanks to the hydraulic system, the car lifts are suitable for adjusting the wheel alignment of vehicles with low ground clearance, including sports models.
Toe alignment is a highly demanded service, so investing in a reliable car lift can be called a quick-payback investment. Car services with four-post car lifts are able to offer car enthusiasts a full range of repair and maintenance services.
