The ARCO AC-2PL-4E is a hydraulic two-post car lift with a floor plate base, rated to 4,000 kg. Designed for automotive workshops, garages, and service centres, this lift provides reliable and safe vehicle elevation for routine maintenance, tyre changes, exhaust work, and undercarriage inspection.
The manual release system gives the operator direct control over the descent, and the 2.2 kW single-phase motor keeps power consumption practical for standard workshop electrical installations. Rise time is 55 seconds with a 26-second drop time.
The floor plate base of the AC-2PL-4E is particularly suited to workshop floors where overhead anchor points or clear-floor installation is not practical. The floor plate distributes the structural load over a wider area, reducing point loading on the slab below.
A 3,426 mm machine width provides a generous working clearance around the vehicle, and the 2,824 mm overall height fits within the ceiling clearances of most standard workshop buildings. The 55-second rise time allows efficient throughput in a busy service environment.
The AC-2PL-4E is delivered with all structural components, the hydraulic power unit, and the lifting arms. Professional installation is required and must be carried out on an appropriate concrete floor slab of sufficient thickness and strength.

The AC-2PL-4E delivers dependable 4-ton lifting performance for everyday workshop vehicle servicing with straightforward operator control.



The AC-2PL-4E must be installed on a reinforced concrete floor slab of adequate thickness and compressive strength. The floor plate base distributes the structural load over a wider area than point-anchor designs, but installation must still be carried out on a properly cured, reinforced concrete surface. Consult a structural engineer if in doubt about floor suitability.
The AC-2PL-4E uses a manual release system for the descent. The operator engages the release mechanism to begin controlled lowering, providing direct control over the speed and stopping point of the descent. This manual approach is simple and does not depend on electrical power for the lowering function.
The AC-2PL-4E is rated for a maximum lifting capacity of 4,000 kg. This covers most standard passenger cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. Always verify the kerb weight of the vehicle before lifting and ensure that the weight is evenly distributed across all four arm contact points.
The hydraulic power unit operates on a single-phase 220V supply with a 2.2 kW motor. This is compatible with the standard single-phase electrical supply available in most automotive workshops and service centres.
