Product overview

The Iron Lift FORGE 40A is an everyday 4,000 kg two-post hoist built around flexibility in a busy general workshop. Its clearfloor layout keeps the centre of the bay open, while the arm geometry allows the vehicle to be positioned in either a conventional symmetric layout or an offset arrangement that can improve door access. For day-to-day servicing, the FORGE 40A combines a single-point lock release, direct-drive hydraulic lifting, automatic arm restraints and an overhead safety shut-off. Two installation-height settings give the installer some flexibility to suit the available building height without changing the basic working layout.

Key features

  • 4,000 kg rated lifting capacity
  • Clear-floor overhead layout with no base plate across the working bay
  • Flexible arm geometry for symmetric or offset vehicle positioning

  • Single-point manual safety-lock release from one column
  • Dual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders
  • Overhead safety shut-off
  • Automatic arm restraints
  • 90 mm minimum pad height
