Overview
The MAHLE CWL-10 Short Rise Wheel Lift is a 100% air-operated, midrise commercial vehicle wheel lift that delivers 20,000 lb total lifting capacity (10,000 lb per lift) for heavy-duty service applications. Engineered for shops with low ceiling heights, the CWL-10 lifts vehicles from floor level to a maximum height of 24 inches, providing fast access to major components including transmissions, differentials, and suspension systems. The integrated vehicle support stand with positive pinning system ensures safe, stable under-vehicle access. Dual trigger control valves enable synchronized raising and lowering, while the wide spring-loaded base provides a stable lifting platform for fire trucks, refuse trucks, motor coaches, and heavy recreational vehicles. Sold as a pair, the CWL-10 is portable, eliminating the need for a dedicated bay, and requires only 160 psi shop air, no electrical or hydraulic systems to maintain.
