Washing Lift
8 Ton Single Post Washing Lift
Eight tonnes, single post, an 820 mm-wide platform for longer vehicles.
A single-plunger air-over-oil washing lift rated at eight tonnes, with a 320 mm plunger and a 5500 x 820 mm platform on 10 x 5 in joists, long enough for double cabs and light lorries. Runs on 10-15 kg/cm2 shop air with a 175 litre oil tank, and reaches the standard 1500 mm lifting height, with 1700 mm available to order.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What vehicles fit the platform?
The 5500 x 820 mm platform suits vans, light lorries, double cabs and 4x4s.
What compressed air supply does it need?
This one runs at 10-15 kg/cm2, noticeably higher than the smaller washing lifts, and the top of that band goes beyond the 12 kg/cm2 working pressure the compressors in this catalogue are rated to — worth confirming compressor sizing with us before ordering.
