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

The floor-plate design of the CAV TP4.2 offers distinct advantages for busy workshop environments. The low-profile steel plate connects the two columns at ground level, providing enhanced structural rigidity while keeping the workshop floor clear of overhead cables or obstructions. This configuration is particularly beneficial for tire and brake services, where technicians need unrestricted access around and underneath the vehicle. CAV has engineered this floor-plate system to be durable enough for daily heavy use, with the synchronization cables housed protectively within the floor structure, shielded from workshop debris and accidental impacts.

Looking deeper into the engineering of the CAV TP4.2, the lifting mechanism pairs a high-quality hydraulic cylinder with a dependable chain drive system. This combination delivers smooth, consistent lifting power, achieving the full 1850mm lifting height in approximately 40 to 50 seconds. The synchronization between the two columns is maintained by robust cables and precision pulleys, ensuring that the carriage on each side rises at exactly the same rate. This balanced lifting action is essential for vehicle safety, as uneven lifting can stress the vehicle's frame or cause instability during service.

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 TP4.2 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. CAV has thoughtfully positioned this model as a high-value entry point, offering the essential features of a premium lift at an accessible investment level, with optional accessories available for those who need additional functionality.

 
Product highlights

• 4,200kg (9,200lbs) Lifting Capacity – Exceptional Value: The CAV TP4.2 stands out in its class by offering a 4.2-ton lifting capacity at a price point that makes sense for growing workshops. This capacity covers the vast majority of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles on the road today. For a workshop owner investing in their first heavy-duty lift or expanding their service capabilities, the CAV TP4.2 delivers the performance of a premium lift without the premium price tag.
  
  

• Double-Side Manual Unlocking System for Efficiency: The dual-point manual release system is designed with real-world workshop efficiency in mind. Technicians can operate the lowering function from either column, eliminating unnecessary walking and reducing service time. This flexibility is particularly valuable in tighter workshop layouts where access to one side of the lift may be temporarily obstructed by tool carts or other equipment.
  
  

• Strong Synchronization Cables and Pulleys for Balanced Lifting: Safety starts with balance, and the CAV TP4.2 ensures that every lift is level and stable. The heavy-duty synchronization cables and precision pulleys work together to keep both carriages moving in perfect harmony. This system is built to withstand the rigors of daily use, maintaining consistent performance over the long term and reducing the risk of misalignment that can compromise vehicle safety.
  
  

• 2+2 Telescopic Lifting Arms with Automatic Locking: The CAV TP4.2 comes equipped with 2+2 telescopic lifting arms, offering two arms on each side that extend and retract to accommodate a wide range of vehicle wheelbases and chassis widths. The automatic arm locking system engages when the arms are positioned, holding them securely in place during the lift. This feature provides peace of mind, knowing that the support points will not shift once the vehicle is raised.
  
  

• Chain and Hydraulic Cylinder Drive System: The combination of a robust chain drive system and a high-quality hydraulic cylinder provides reliable lifting power with minimal maintenance requirements. The chain mechanism is engineered for durability, while the hydraulic cylinder delivers the force needed to lift heavy loads consistently. This proven drive system has been selected by CAV for its dependability in demanding workshop environments.
  
  

• Maximum Lifting Height Switch for Added Protection: The integrated maximum lifting height switch adds an extra layer of safety by automatically cutting power when the carriage reaches its highest position. This protects the hydraulic cylinders from over-extension and prevents the vehicle from being raised beyond the safe operating limit of the lift.
  
  

• Customizable with Optional Features: Recognizing that different workshops have different needs, CAV offers a range of optional accessories for the TP4.2. Whether you need additional height adapters, specialized support pads, or extended arm configurations, these options allow you to tailor the lift to your specific service requirements.
