What it suits
Bus, tipper and prime mover wash bays that need both the platform length and the capacity beyond what the eight tonne twin post carries.
Build
Build details
- Twin posts share a single 7600 x 900 mm platform on 10 x 5 in joists
- In-ground installation keeps the platform flush with the bay floor
- Wiper rings keep water and dirt out of each hoist cylinder
- Hard chrome plated steel plungers for wear resistance
Deciding between single post and twin post, or which tonnage suits your bay? That comparison lives on the washing lift hub, not repeated here.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What vehicles is this sized for?
Buses, tippers and prime movers — the largest capacity and the longest platform in the range, at 7600 x 900 mm.
What compressed air supply does it need?
Highest in the range at 12-15 kg/cm2. Like the eight tonne single post, the top end exceeds the 12 kg/cm2 working pressure our compressors are rated to, so pair it with the right compressor rather than assuming any shop-air line will do.
