Heavy Duty Mobile Column Lift

The John Bean^® Mobile Column Lift System is a powerful, compact, and versatile solution for technicians to work on the most heavy-duty vehicles without a standard work bay.

Designed for easy operation to perform under the extreme demands required by heavy-duty vehicles, the John Bean Mobile Column Lift System is the ideal lift solution for transport fleets, schools, government, and military applications.

Our heavy-duty Mobile Column Lifts support the vehicle to a height of six feet, allowing mechanics to work comfortably, eliminating the risks of standing or lying in uncomfortable positions. The adjustable universal carriage accommodates wheels up to 59-inches in diameter without additional accessories.

The sleek and efficient MCL design provides optimal space for technicians to work around the columns, and each set of Mobile Column Lifts can be conveniently stored in a small area when not in use. Our solid steel I-Beam design can safely hold substantial weight without bending and is easier to move than bulky hydraulic columns.

Every column has additional safety features that go above and beyond certification requirements, equipped with a redundant safety system that includes a wedge lock (the same locking device used on elevators) and an industrial-strength emergency brake. The John Bean Mobile Column Lift System offers heavy-duty lifting in a range of environments to safely and effectively suit the needs of your business.

Features

STRONG AND SOLID I-BEAM SUPPORT COLUMN

Our main support column is the only true solid, one-piece I-Beam on the market. Unlike other manufacturers who form and/or weld their columns, our I-Beam column guarantees no welding seams, therefore increasing rigidity and stability by eliminating any risk of weak points or mechanical failure.

HYDRAULIC JACK TROLLEY

The hydraulic jack trolley allows users to position the Mobile Column in just minutes, resulting in a faster turnaround time.

UNPARALLELED SAFETY FEATURES

Our back-up safety systems give users an added measure of security at all times. In addition to meeting all requirements for certification, our MCL is built with a redundant safety system, each column is fully equipped with a wedge lock and industrial strength brakes. This ensures the lift will never lower in the event of an unlikely primary system failure.

EASY TO OPERATE

LED display with auto diagnostics makes the Mobile Column Lift simple to operate. No master column is needed, with three operation modes. Built-in automatic synchronization feature keeps lifts level and secure at all times.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

STAINLESS STEEL RE-CIRCULATING BALL-SCREW

Unlike any other Wireless Mobile Column Lift, these mobile lifts operate by the extraordinary power of a stainless steel, re-circulating ball-screw. This unique operating approach eliminates all hydraulics and maintains a natural unison between columns while operating at constant speed.
