Overview
The MAHLE CFL-4A Forklift Jack is a professional-grade air-assisted lifting solution engineered for industrial forklift maintenance and repair. With a robust 4-ton (8,000 lb) capacity and 16-inch maximum lift height, the CFL-4A combines pneumatic air assist with hydraulic power to minimize operator effort and maximize productivity. The dual-position lift pad accommodates both flat and edged forklift surfaces, while the ultra-low starting height of 2.3 inches provides access to nearly all industrial forklifts. Built to MAHLE's original equipment standards and backed by a lifetime warranty, the CFL-4A delivers reliable performance for high-volume shop environments and fleet maintenance operations.
