⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"“We installed the VGE-T40EX last month, and it’s transformed our bay workflow. Cars up in under a minute, arms lock automatically — no fiddling. Even with 4×4s and vans, the adjustable arms and pad extensions make positioning quick and stable. Very happy with the build quality so far.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The scanner delivers excellent, detailed 3D tread reports and really gives customers clarity. The installation was straightforward (surface mount), though you need a decent floor area and a little patience with the integration process. Once set up, works like a dream.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

“We run a busy tyre-and-service centre, and the safety locks, automatic release, and overload protection make me far more confident working under vehicles. The manual override drop is handy too — gives extra peace of mind if there’s a power outage. Definitely a big upgrade from our old manual ramps.”

FAQs About 4 Tonne Electric Release 2 Post Lift



What kind of vehicles can this 2-post lift handle?

Does installation require special floor or electrical setup?
Yes. The lift must be installed on a level, solid concrete floor suitable for secure anchoring, and powered via a 240 V supply (or 415 V for the three-phase variant). For safety and warranty compliance, professional installation is strongly recommended.
What safety features are built into the lift?
The lift includes dual hydraulic cylinders with synchronised lifting, an automatic dual-point electromagnetic lock release, overload relief valves, parachute valves for hose-failure protection, a lifting-height limit safety switch, protective rubber on column doors to prevent vehicle damage, and a manual emergency drop function with adjustable descent speed.
