Product overview

The Iron Lift FORGE 45C is a straightforward commercial 4,500 kg two-post hoist for workshops that value broad arm reach and an uncluttered service bay. Four three-stage arms make it easier to reach different factory lifting points across a mixed vehicle fleet, while the overhead clear-floor structure leaves the centre of the bay open. Long carriages, dual direct-drive cylinders and automatic arm restraints are combined with a single-point lock release for practical workshop operation. It is a strong general-purpose choice for mechanical repairs, suspension work, drivetrain access and routine fleet servicing.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the FORGE 45C aimed at?
It is positioned as a general commercial-workshop two-post: 4,500 kg capacity, four three-stage arms and a clear floor for broad day-to-day service work.
Both are 4,500 kg clear-floor models, but the FORGE 45C uses a conventional four three-stage arm layout rather than the flexible symmetric/asymmetric positioning focus of the FORGE 45A.
The published minimum pad height is 90 mm.
No. Capacity is only one part of suitability. Lifting points, weight distribution, vehicle dimensions and arm reach must also be within the hoist limits.
Yes. Installation, servicing, repairs and spare-parts support can be arranged through Iron Lift.
