Overview
The MAHLE CLS-15 Air Lift is a 15-ton (30,000 lb) pneumatic lifting solution engineered for commercial vehicle service and heavy-duty repair applications. This 100% air-operated lift integrates a vehicle support stand directly into the design, eliminating the need for separate jack stands and providing secure, stable support throughout the repair process. With a minimum start height of 17.6 inches and maximum lift height of 52.3 inches (with extension), the CLS-15 accommodates a wide range of truck and commercial vehicle configurations. The removable handle and dual-wheel design deliver exceptional mobility for precise positioning under load, while the air rocker valve provides smooth, controlled raising and lowering.
