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

In the demanding environment of commercial vehicle repair, equipment reliability and safety are non-negotiable. The CAV TP4.0 Floor-Plate 2-Post Lift is built to meet these rigorous demands, offering a 4-ton capacity that comfortably handles heavy trucks, full-size SUVs, and commercial vans that exceed the capabilities of standard 3-ton lifts.

The floor-plate design of the CAV TP4.0 distinguishes it from clear-floor or baseplate models. This structure connects the two columns at floor level with a low-profile steel plate, creating a unified base that enhances structural rigidity without creating a tripping hazard. Unlike overhead cable systems, the floor-plate configuration houses the synchronization cables within the floor structure, keeping them protected from workshop debris and accidental damage. This design also provides technicians with a clear overhead workspace, which is particularly beneficial when servicing engine bays or performing transmission work that requires access from above.

Delving into the engineering expertise behind the CAV TP4.0, the lifting mechanism combines a high-quality hydraulic cylinder with a robust chain drive system. This combination delivers smooth, powerful lifting performance, achieving the full 1900mm lifting height in just 40 to 50 seconds. The synchronization of the two columns is managed by strong, durable cables and precision pulleys, ensuring that the carriage on each side rises in perfect unison. This balanced lifting is critical for vehicle safety, preventing uneven loads that could stress the vehicle's frame or cause instability.

The dual-point manual release system is a thoughtfully designed feature that enhances control. Located at each column, the release points allow the operator to lower the lift from either side, providing flexibility and convenience depending on where the technician is positioned. This manual release mechanism gives the operator direct, tactile control over the descent speed, allowing for a controlled and measured lowering process. Furthermore, the CAV TP4.0 incorporates a maximum lifting height switch, which automatically cuts power to the motor once the platform reaches its upper limit. This feature protects the hydraulic cylinders from over-extension and adds a crucial safety net for busy workshop environments.

 
Product highlights

• Massive 4,000kg (9,000lbs) Lifting Capacity: The CAV TP4.0 is purpose-built for workshops that service more than just passenger cars. With a capacity of 4 tons, this two-post lift confidently raises heavy-duty pickups, full-size vans, and commercial vehicles weighing up to 9,000 pounds. This capability expands the range of services your workshop can offer, allowing you to attract a broader clientele and take on more profitable heavy-vehicle repair jobs.
  
  

• Double-Side Manual Unlocking System for Easy Operation: Convenience is built into the CAV TP4.0 with its double-side manual unlocking system. The operator can initiate the lowering process from either column, providing flexibility in busy workshop layouts where accessibility may vary. This dual-point control simplifies the workflow, allowing technicians to work efficiently without walking around the lift to find the release mechanism.
  
  

• Heavy-Duty Synchronization Cables and Pulleys: The balanced lifting of the CAV TP4.0 is secured by strong synchronization cables and high-quality pulleys. These components work together to ensure that both carriages move at the same rate, maintaining a level platform throughout the entire lifting cycle. This robust synchronization system is engineered for longevity, reducing the risk of cable stretching or misalignment that can compromise safety and vehicle stability over time.
  
  

• 2+2 Asymmetric and Telescopic Lifting Arms: The CAV TP4.0 is equipped with 2+2 asymmetric lifting arms, featuring two arms on each side with different lengths. This asymmetry allows technicians to position the arms more accurately around the vehicle's center of gravity, ensuring optimal weight distribution. The telescopic design allows each arm to extend and retract, providing the flexibility needed to accommodate vehicles with varying wheelbases and chassis configurations.
  
  

• Automatic Arm Lock and Unlock System: Safety during positioning is assured with the automatic arm locking system. Once the arms are adjusted to the desired contact point on the vehicle's chassis, the automatic lock engages to hold them securely in place. This feature prevents the arms from drifting or swinging outward during the lifting process, maintaining stable support throughout the service. The unlock system operates efficiently when repositioning is required.
  
  

• Chain and High-Quality Hydraulic Cylinder Drive System: The CAV TP4.0 utilizes a chain lifting system paired with high-quality hydraulic cylinders. This proven drive combination delivers consistent lifting power with minimal maintenance. The chain mechanism is durable and resistant to wear, while the hydraulic cylinder provides the force needed to lift heavy loads smoothly and efficiently.
  
  

• Maximum Lifting Height Switch for Protection: The maximum lifting height switch is a critical safety feature integrated into the CAV TP4.0. It prevents the carriage from traveling beyond the designed upper limit, protecting both the hydraulic cylinder from over-extension and the vehicle from potential contact with overhead obstacles.
  
  

• Adjustable Lifting Pads for Versatile Vehicle Support:The CAV TP4.0 features adjustable lifting pads that can be raised or lowered to accommodate different vehicle ground clearances. This adjustability ensures secure and stable contact with a wide range of vehicles, from low-profile sports cars to high-riding SUVs.
