Product overview

The Iron Lift FORGE 55HD combines 5,500 kg lifting capacity with a wide, tall clear-floor structure for workshops servicing heavier vans, fleet vehicles and light trucks within a two-post format. The 3,137 mm spacing between columns gives a generous working envelope, while three overhead-height settings allow the structure to be matched to the workshop building. Four three-stage arms provide reach across different lifting-point positions. Heavy-duty rubber pads, saddle adapters and both 3-inch and 6-inch extensions are included, giving the workshop more flexibility when moving between different chassis and lifting-point heights.
