4.2 Ton Clear-floor-2-Post Lift, Automatic Lock Release

The CAV TP4.2E 4.2 Ton Capacity Clear-Floor 2-Post Lift arrives as a smart, budget-conscious choice for workshops that refuse to compromise on quality. CAV has engineered this model specifically to deliver outstanding value, wrapping professional-grade features into a package that suits both new workshops and established businesses looking to expand their service bays. With a solid 4200kg lifting capacity, this unit handles the vast majority of vehicles that roll through a typical repair shop, from family sedans and SUVs to light commercial vans and pickup trucks.

What sets the TP4.2E apart right from the start is its clear-floor architecture. There are no overhead cables or hydraulic hoses dangling above the vehicle, which means technicians can walk around the lift without ducking or dodging obstructions. This open design also makes it significantly easier to position vehicles and access all four sides simultaneously, a tangible productivity booster when every minute counts during a busy workday. The lift runs on a 2.2kW motor that drives a robust chain lifting system paired with premium hydraulic cylinders. This combination delivers smooth, steady upward motion, reaching a maximum height of 1900mm in roughly 40 to 50 seconds. That is enough clearance for most technicians to work comfortably underneath, whether they are swapping out an exhaust system or performing a detailed underbody inspection.

The minimum height of just 115mm deserves special attention. For workshops that regularly service sports cars or modified vehicles with aggressive lowering kits, this low profile is a lifesaver. Many standard lifts struggle to slide their arms under such vehicles, but the TP4.2E slides in with room to spare. CAV has also fitted this model with a maximum lifting height switch, a small but critical component that acts as an intelligent limiter. It cuts power to the motor once the lift reaches its designated top position, protecting the hydraulic cylinders from over-extension and preserving their longevity over years of heavy use. And because CAV understands that workshops operate on different electrical standards around the world, the power supply is configured according to each customer's specific requirements, a thoughtful touch that simplifies installation no matter where the lift ends up.

Product highlights

• Automatic Lock Release System:
  The automatic unlocking system on the CAV TP4.2E sets it apart from standard lifts. It streamlines the entire lowering procedure, requiring just a simple action from the operator. This enhances efficiency in a busy workshop environment and reduces the physical effort typically associated with manual release handles. It makes the lift exceptionally user-friendly, enabling technicians to focus more on the repair task at hand rather than wrestling with controls.
  
  

• 3+2 Asymmetric Telescopic Lifting Arms:
  The TP4.2E comes standard with a 3+2 asymmetric telescopic arm configuration. The asymmetry is a deliberate design choice that shifts the front arms outward, creating extra door clearance when the vehicle is raised. This allows technicians to fully open vehicle doors without hitting the columns, a major convenience during interior work or final inspections. The telescopic nature of all five arms offers excellent adaptability, allowing for quick adjustment to securely contact the jacking points on vehicles with varying wheelbases, from compact hatchbacks to full-size SUVs.
  
  

• Exceptionally Low Lifting Point:
  A standout feature of this CAV lift is its low lifting point, making it particularly well-suited for sports vehicles and low-profile cars that often pose a challenge for standard lifts. Many modern performance cars have minimal ground clearance, making it difficult to position traditional arms. The TP4.2E’s design overcomes this issue, allowing for safe and easy engagement with the vehicle's chassis, expanding the range of vehicles your workshop can confidently service.
  
  

• Robust Synchronization and Chain-Hydraulic System:
  Reliable synchronization is the hallmark of a quality 2-post lift, and the TP4.2E delivers with heavy-duty cables and durable pulleys that ensure both carriages move in perfect harmony. This prevents any uneven loading or twisting of the vehicle frame. This synchronized system is paired with a chain and hydraulic cylinder lifting mechanism, a combination CAV has chosen for its proven durability and straightforward maintenance. The chains provide a rugged, mechanical connection for lifting, while the hydraulic cylinders deliver the smooth power needed, ensuring consistent and dependable performance shift after shift.
