5 Ton Capacity Floor-plate 2-Post Lift, Automatic Lock Release

Workshops that service a diverse mix of vehicles face a unique challenge: finding a single lift that can safely handle everything from small passenger cars to heavy light trucks. The CAV TP5.0E Floor-Plate 2-Post Lift addresses this challenge directly, offering a 5-ton lifting capacity that covers virtually every vehicle on the road today.

With a rated capacity of 5,000kg, the CAV TP5.0E is built for heavy-duty commercial applications. This capacity comfortably accommodates large vans, full-size pickup trucks, and light commercial vehicles that exceed the capabilities of standard 3-ton or 4-ton lifts. For workshop owners who service fleet vehicles, delivery vans, or commercial transporters, the CAV TP5.0E provides the confidence that comes with knowing the equipment is rated for the job.

The automatic lock release system is a key feature that enhances both safety and operational efficiency. Through an intuitive control box, the operator manages lifting and lowering operations seamlessly. When the lowering cycle is initiated, the safety locks disengage automatically without any manual intervention. This fully automated process removes the potential for operator error, speeds up service times, and delivers a consistent user experience that technicians appreciate during busy workdays.

Examining the engineering in greater detail, the CAV TP5.0E utilizes a robust chain lifting system paired with high-quality hydraulic cylinders. This combination delivers powerful, smooth, 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, heavy-duty cables that ensure both sides rise in perfect alignment. This balanced lifting action is critical when handling heavier vehicles, as uneven lifting can stress the chassis and compromise stability.

The 3+3 telescopic lifting arms in an asymmetrical design represent a significant engineering advancement that sets the CAV TP5.0E apart from standard 2+2 configurations. The three arms on each side provide additional support points and greater flexibility when positioning under vehicles with complex chassis layouts. This asymmetrical design, developed specifically for modern vehicles up to the latest transporter generations, ensures that even vehicles with non-standard undercarriage configurations can be lifted securely. The automatic arm locking system engages once the arms are positioned, holding them firmly in place throughout the service. The floor-plate design provides a stable, integrated base that offers enhanced structural rigidity and a clear overhead workspace. The maximum lifting height switch adds an important safety layer, automatically cutting motor power at the upper limit to protect hydraulic cylinders from over-extension.

 
Product highlights

• 5 Ton Lifting Capacity – Heavy-Duty Coverage: The CAV TP5.0E delivers a substantial 5-ton lifting capacity, making it the ideal choice for workshops that regularly service light trucks, delivery vans, and commercial vehicles. This capacity covers a broader range of vehicles than standard lifts, allowing workshop owners to accept a wider variety of jobs and serve commercial clients who need reliable, heavy-duty service.
  
  
• Automatic Lock Release System – Fully Automated Operation: The automatic lock release system simplifies the entire lifting and lowering process through control box operation. Safety devices reset automatically when lowering is initiated, eliminating manual release handling. This automation reduces the risk of human error, speeds up service times, and allows technicians to focus on the vehicle rather than equipment operation. For busy workshops, this translates to improved efficiency and consistent results.
  
  
• 3+3 Asymmetrical Telescopic Lifting Arms – Maximum Flexibility: The 3+3 telescopic lifting arms in an asymmetrical design are a standout feature of the CAV TP5.0E. This configuration provides three arms on each side, offering additional support points and greater adaptability for vehicles with complex chassis layouts. Developed specifically for modern vehicles up to the latest transporter generations, these arms ensure secure lifting for a wider range of vehicle types. The telescopic design allows each arm to extend and retract, accommodating varying wheelbases and chassis widths with ease.
  
  
• Strong Synchronization Cables for Safe Operation: The CAV TP5.0E features heavy-duty synchronization cables that maintain perfect alignment between both columns throughout the lifting cycle. This balanced lifting is especially important when handling heavier vehicles, as any unevenness can place stress on the vehicle's frame or create instability. The robust cable system ensures long-term reliability, even under demanding commercial workshop conditions.
  
  
• Chain and Hydraulic Cylinder Drive System: The proven combination of a chain drive system and high-quality hydraulic cylinders delivers consistent lifting power with minimal maintenance requirements. The chain mechanism is engineered for durability in demanding applications, while the hydraulic cylinders provide the force needed for controlled lifting of heavy loads. This drive system has been selected by CAV for its dependability in professional workshop environments.
  
  
• Maximum Lifting Height Switch for Operational Safety: The integrated maximum lifting height switch automatically cuts power when the carriage reaches the upper limit, protecting hydraulic cylinders from over-extension and ensuring safe operation. This feature provides an additional layer of protection for both the equipment and the vehicles being serviced.
