Powerful and safe: painters are perfectly equipped with this lifting platform!
Consul expands its range with pneumatic lifting platforms
Three new developments with greater load capacity and lifting height
The lift manufacturer Consul has expanded its range: From January 2020, it will be offering the “PneuLift 0.35 F” scissor lift with compressed air lifting bellows and pneumatic control. The offer is clearly aimed at the areas of painting preparation and painting booths. Because of the possible ignition of explosive paint or dust/air mixtures, the company cannot use conventional electromechanical lifting devices there. (Electro-)hydraulic variants are also prohibited because they can emit paint-wetting oil vapors (LABS) into the ambient air. These adversely affect the freshly painted surfaces, for example by cratering.
The manufacturer’s pneumatic platform expert, Stephan Herweg, names four main features that should set the new family of lifting platforms apart from the competition:
- The higher load capacity of 3,500 kilograms
- All bearings and pins sit in anti-wear bushings
- The center crossbars fold down automatically, giving free access to the rocker panel
- Ergonomic lifting height of around 1,310 millimeters
Base frames, gratings, ramps and roll-off safety devices are galvanized as standard. There are three versions of the “PneuLift 0.35” in a total of five construction variants: The basic version “F” and the “FK” with an integrated double lifting system for wheel-free lifting. Consul offers both construction variants for floor level (BE) as well as surface (BA) installation. The fifth construction variant is the “FQ”; it is intended for cross transport with a vehicle on a trolley between work preparation and the paint booth. The floor-level versions are available with a CE stop. The track width of all construction variants is 1,980 millimeters, the track length is 3,700 millimeters. The erection length with access ramps of 4,857 millimeters overall length is the same for all stages. The air connection should deliver a maximum of 8 bar pressure.
According to Consul, they manufacture these lifts exclusively in Germany. Standard colors are RAL 9005 and 7035 (jet black and light grey), other (RAL) colors are optionally available. The net list price for the “PneuLift 0.35 F BA” is 5,800 euros, the “Pneulift 0.35 FK BA” is available for 7,000 euros. The BE variants each cost 500 euros more. The transverse transport platform “Pneulift 0.35 FQ” is available for 8,200 euros.
