The MAHLE CAL-4 Air Lift is a robust 8,000-lb capacity commercial vehicle lifting solution engineered for professional shops handling cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles. With 100% air operation and no electrical power requirement, this pneumatic lift delivers 17 inches of stroke from a low 7.9-inch starting height to a maximum lift height of 23.5 inches. The unit features a two-stage air valve for precise control during raising and lowering operations, large pneumatic wheels for easy shop floor maneuverability, and adjustable lifting saddles that adapt to various vehicle configurations.
