The ARCO AC-B40AY is a portable, ultra-thin mid-rise scissor lift rated to 4,000 kg. Its wheel-free platform design allows technicians to access the tyres and brakes without obstruction, making it particularly suited to tyre fitting, brake servicing, wheel alignment preparation, and undercarriage inspection tasks in automotive workshops.
The twin hydraulic cylinder design provides balanced, synchronised lifting across both platforms, and the pneumatic lock release with electromagnetic lowering gives the operator precise control over the descent. No floor anchoring is required, making the AC-B40AY a flexible asset in any workshop layout.
The ultra-thin construction of the AC-B40AY allows it to fit beneath low-clearance vehicles easily. With no cross rails or torsion bars between the lifting platforms, technicians have unimpeded access to wheel hubs, callipers, suspension components, and undercarriage points from any direction.
All pivot points are fitted with self-lubricating bushings that require minimal maintenance over the product’s service life. The mechanical locking device engages automatically as the lift rises and is only released via the pneumatic system, providing a passive safety mechanism that protects operators at all times.
The AC-B40AY is supplied as a complete, assembled portable scissor lift ready for workshop use. No permanent floor installation is required. Connect the power supply and the pneumatic air line and the unit is operational.

No. The AC-B40AY is a portable scissor lift that does not require permanent floor anchoring. This means it can be repositioned within the workshop as needed, providing flexibility for workshops where the layout changes or where the lift needs to serve multiple work bays. The unit’s own weight and the vehicle’s load keep it stable during lifting.
Wheel-free refers to the platform design, where the lifting surface does not support the vehicle’s tyres directly. Instead, the lift contacts the vehicle at the recommended jacking points on the vehicle’s chassis. This leaves the tyres, brake discs, callipers, and wheel hubs fully accessible to the technician without any part of the lift being in the way.
The AC-B40AY uses twin hydraulic cylinders connected to a synchronisation device that ensures both sides of the lift rise at the same rate. This patented synchronisation approach keeps the vehicle level throughout the lifting cycle, regardless of how the weight is distributed across the vehicle’s chassis.
The lift includes an automatically engaging mechanical safety lock that prevents unintended descent during servicing, a height limit switch that stops the lift at maximum height, an anti-explosion safety valve on the hydraulic system, and a safety descending stop with an audible alarm. The lock can only be released via the pneumatic system, requiring a deliberate operator action.
