4 Ton Clear-Floor 2-Post Lift, Dual-point manual release

For auto repair workshops, the layout of the workspace can significantly impact workflow efficiency. The CAV TP4.0L Clear-Floor 2-Post Lift addresses this with a design philosophy that prioritizes open, unobstructed access. Unlike floor-plate models that have a steel base connecting the two columns at ground level, the CAV TP4.0L keeps the floor between the columns entirely clear, allowing technicians to move freely with tool carts, transmission jacks, and other equipment without navigating around a floor-level obstruction.

With a lifting capacity of 4 tons (9,000 lbs), the CAV TP4.0L comfortably handles the diverse vehicle mix found in a modern repair shop, from compact cars and family sedans to full-size SUVs and light commercial vehicles. This capacity ensures that workshop owners can accept a wide range of service work without worrying about whether their equipment can handle the job.

The clear-floor design offers particular advantages for specific types of service work. When performing transmission removal or exhaust system repairs, technicians often need to position equipment directly under the vehicle. A floor-plate would obstruct this positioning, but the CAV TP4.0L's open floor design allows transmission jacks and other rolling equipment to be placed exactly where they are needed. This translates to faster service times, reduced technician strain, and improved overall workshop productivity.

Examining the engineering in greater detail, the CAV TP4.0L utilizes a robust chain lifting system paired with high-quality hydraulic cylinders. This combination delivers smooth, powerful, and consistent lifting performance, achieving the full 1900mm lifting height in just 40 to 50 seconds. The synchronization between the two columns is maintained by strong cables routed overhead, along with precision pulleys that ensure both carriages rise in perfect unison. This balanced lifting action is essential for vehicle safety, as uneven lifting can stress the vehicle's frame or create instability.

The dual-point manual release system gives operators flexible control over the lowering process. With release mechanisms located on both columns, technicians can initiate descent from whichever side is more convenient, streamlining workflow in busy bays. This manual release provides tactile feedback, allowing the operator to control the lowering speed smoothly. The CAV TP4.0L also includes a maximum lifting height switch that automatically stops the motor at the upper limit, protecting the hydraulic cylinders from over-extension and providing a reliable safety measure. The 2+2 telescopic lifting arms with automatic locking adapt to a wide range of vehicle chassis, providing secure support at manufacturer-recommended lifting points.

 
Product highlights

• 4,000kg (9,000lbs) Lifting Capacity – Exceptional Value for Entry-Level Investment: The CAV TP4.0L delivers a full 4-ton lifting capacity at a price point that makes sense for workshops making their first investment in heavy-duty lifting equipment. This capacity covers the majority of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks on the road today. For workshop owners who want professional-grade performance without overcapitalizing, the CAV TP4.0L represents a smart, balanced investment.
  
  

• Clear-Floor Design – Unobstructed Under-Vehicle Access: The defining feature of the CAV TP4.0L is its clear-floor configuration. With no baseplate connecting the columns at ground level, technicians enjoy free movement underneath the vehicle and across the bay floor. This design is particularly valuable for transmission work, exhaust repairs, and any service that requires rolling equipment to be positioned directly under the vehicle. The clear-floor layout also reduces tripping hazards and makes sweeping and cleaning the bay floor more straightforward.
  
  

• Double-Side Manual Unlocking System for Flexible Operation: The dual-point manual release system allows technicians to lower the lift from either column, providing flexibility in busy workshop layouts. This design reduces unnecessary walking and allows the operator to control the descent from the most convenient position. The manual release provides direct tactile feedback, enabling smooth, controlled lowering every time.
  
  

• Strong Overhead Synchronization Cables and Pulleys: The CAV TP4.0L features heavy-duty synchronization cables routed overhead, along with precision pulleys that maintain perfect alignment between both columns throughout the lifting cycle. This balanced lifting is critical for vehicle safety and stability, preventing the kind of uneven lifting that can stress a vehicle's frame. The overhead cable routing keeps the workshop floor clear and protected from damage.
  
  

• 2+2 Telescopic Lifting Arms with Automatic Locking: Equipped with 2+2 telescopic lifting arms, the CAV TP4.0L offers two arms on each side that extend and retract to accommodate a wide range of vehicle sizes and chassis configurations. The automatic arm locking system engages once the arms are positioned, holding them securely in place throughout the lifting cycle. This feature provides stable support and reduces the risk of arm drift during service.
  
  

• Chain and Hydraulic Cylinder Drive System: The combination of a robust chain drive system and high-quality hydraulic cylinders delivers dependable lifting power with minimal maintenance. The chain mechanism is engineered for durability in demanding workshop conditions, while the hydraulic cylinders provide the consistent force needed for heavy lifts. This proven drive system has been selected by CAV for its reliability and long service life.
  
  

• Maximum Lifting Height Switch for Operational Safety: The integrated maximum lifting height switch automatically cuts power to the motor when the carriage reaches its highest position. This protects the hydraulic cylinders from over-extension and prevents vehicles from being raised beyond the safe operating limit, providing peace of mind for workshop owners and technicians.
