This compact two-post floor plate vehicle hoist provides an engineered lifting solution specifically configured for low-clearance residential sheds and standard home garages. Featuring a 4500kg structural capacity and a highly restricted 2400mm column height, it allows home enthusiasts and trade technicians to perform major mechanical servicing, brake repairs, and suspension overhauls safely under low ceilings. The low-profile floor plate configuration preserves an open overhead workspace, ensuring tall four-wheel drives can be raised without encountering top-beam structural interference.

  • Optimised 2.4m Column Height — The specialised low-profile layout fits directly inside standard domestic garage spaces that cannot accommodate full-sized commercial columns.
  • Electronic Lock Release — Advanced push-button control station disengages all mechanical safety locks electronically to eliminate manual release cables and streamline lowering operations.
  • 4500kg Trade Rating — Heavy-duty structural steel profiles provide an elevated safety margin, allowing users to lift everything from light passenger cars to modified four-wheel drives.
  • Low-Profile Base Plate — A shallow ground-level steel cover protects internal hydraulic connections and synchronisation chains while maintaining a minimal drive-over profile.

Overview

Unlike standard commercial two-post hoists that require a minimum ceiling clearance of 3.6 metres or more, this low-headroom alternative shortens column height to 2.4 metres to function perfectly within low-profile home garages. It is engineered explicitly for automotive collectors, home restorers, and independent trade specialists working out of domestic sheds where vertical clearance is highly restricted, meaning it is not suited to professional rapid-fit tire centers requiring full standing height elevation for light commercial vehicles.

Key Features

  • Automated Electronic Safety Locks — Electromagnetic lock bars automatically drop into position as the carriage rises, disengaging smoothly via a single button on the power panel.
  • Flexible Symmetric Arm Configuration — Heavy-duty telescoping lifting arms extend smoothly to match optimal manufacturer chassis pick-up points on short-wheelbase sports cars and heavy four-wheel drives.
  • Dual Hydraulic Lifting Rams — Dual high-pressure hydraulic cylinders linked to industrial leaf chains ensure synchronised carriage travel and reliable vertical stability throughout the entire lifting cycle.
  • Automatic Arm Restraints — Heavy gear-tooth locks engage automatically upon ascent to fix the lifting arms in place, eliminating any pivoting hazards while work is carried out underneath.

Before You Order

Installation requires a level, fully cured concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 115 mm and a compressive strength rating of 32Mpa. The electro-hydraulic power pack operates via a standard 240 V single-phase electrical supply connected to a dedicated 15 A circuit breaker (should not operate off of a 10amp extension lead). Verify that your floor footprint can easily accommodate the total outer width and that your ceiling height provides sufficient clearance for the vehicle roof when fully raised.

What's Included

  • Two low-profile 2400mm structural steel column assemblies
  • Four telescoping lifting arms featuring automatic gear ring restraints
  • Low-profile load-bearing steel floor plate cover and internal hydraulic lines
  • Two internal hydraulic cylinders featuring high-strength leaf chains
  • 240 V single-phase hydraulic power pack and integrated electronic control box
  • Four screw-adjustable pick-up pads with polyurethane cushions
  • High-tensile steel synchronisation balancing cables and concrete floor anchor bolts

Please note that grade AW46 hydraulic oil and four-wheel drive height extensions are sold separately.

To establish a highly functional home workshop, consider pairing this low-clearance lifting system with our space-saving tyre changers, electronic wheel balancers, or high-tech wheel alignment machines. Contact our sales desk for local trade delivery scheduling and warehouse collection options.
