CONWAY, Ark. — Snap-on Inc. has unveiled the John Bean 15k Four-Post Open Front Alignment Lift for servicing a wide range of vehicles.
The lift is "extremely sturdy," the company said, and is designed with open-front columns, ultra-wide 26-inch runways and integrated 100-inch-long rear slip plates.
The lift is constructed to handle heavy-duty, dual-rear-wheel trucks as well as standard, four-wheel alignments on passenger vehicles, Snap-on said.
"John Bean hydraulic car hoists are designed to let shops manage a wide range of vehicles," Neil Davis, product manager for John Bean, said. "The John Bean 15k four-post lift is equipped with safety devices to protect both the operator and the vehicle while being serviced."
Available in two lengths, standard and extended, the lift is certified to the industry's ANSI/ALI automotive lift standard.
Key features of the lift include:
• Extended rear column drive-on to accommodate dual-rear tire vehicles;
• Ultra-wide 26-inch runways for wide track width vehicles;
• Extra-long 100-inch rear slip plates for improved four-wheel alignment capability for long and short wheelbase vehicles;
• Open-front cross beam allowing access to service areas for adjustments and repairs;
• Ultra-wide ramps with an anti-slip textured surface;
• Cartridge-based locking and cable brake system for ease of maintenance; and
• Adjustable air-hydraulic jack beam with extended-reach lifting arms, higher lifting stroke and low drive-over heights, a standard accessory on the 15k 4-post lift.
