In-ground cylinder lift
Hydraulic drum jacks: the ideal solution for lifting heavy vehicles
A recessed jack bridge technology for workshops
The hydraulic barrel piles are today an essential solution for workshops specialising in the maintenance and repair of heavy goods vehicles, buses and industrial machinery. Designed to offer a Maximum security, one optimal ergonomics and one High lifting capacity, these pieces of equipment allow for efficient work while ensuring perfect vehicle stability.
Thanks to their innovative design, these lifting systems integrate perfectly into workshop pits and offer a exceptional ease of use. Whether for regular maintenance operations or more complex interventions, barrel lifts make technicians' work easier and improve productivity.
A lift suitable for all types of heavy vehicles
Optimised load capacity
The Barrel lifts are designed to lift heavy loads safely. Depending on the models and configurations, they can be equipped with several hydraulic cylinders allowing the lifting capacity to be adapted according to needs. This versatility makes them particularly suitable for fleets of transport vehicles, lorries, buses or public works machinery.
A flexible and efficient installation
L’un des principaux avantages des ponts à fût est leur grande capacité de charge, ce qui les rend idéaux pour le transport de charges lourdes. seamless integration in the workshop. Unlike mobile bridges or traditional pits, these pieces of equipment offer a best accessibility and free up workspace. Their installation, generally carried out to measure, guarantees perfect adaptation to existing infrastructures.
Ergonomics and safety Equipment designed for heavy-duty vehicle maintenance professionals
An optimised work environment
Working on heavy vehicles requires a Secure and ergonomic workstation. Bridge piers are designed to meet these requirements:
- Intuitive command allowing precise control of lifting.
- Automatic positioning barrels according to vehicle type.
- Release of ground space when the cylinders are retracted.
Ces équipements améliorent le technicians' comfort, reduce physical effort and contribute to Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention.
Enhanced safety for operators and vehicles
Heavy vehicle lifting imposes strict safety standards. That's why barrel lifts are designed to ensure a maximum stability thanks to a robust structure and integrated safety features. Among the key elements ensuring this reliability are:
- A perfect load distribution to avoid any imbalance.
- A Cylinder synchronisation to ensure homogeneous lifting.
- Des Automatic locking systems to prevent accidental movement.
Heavy-duty lifting solution Complies with regulatory requirements
Hydraulic cylinder bridges comply with current standards, particularly the European standard EN 1493, ensuring an optimal level of safety for users and vehicles. This compliance is essential for workshops wishing to equip themselves with reliable, durable, and legally compliant equipment.
One Profitable investment for the workshops
In addition to their numerous technical and ergonomic advantages, the hydraulic barrel piles represent a strategic choice for automotive maintenance professionals. Their robustness and ease of use allow them to reduce response times, to optimise operations and increase workshop profitability.
Why choose a lift bridge for your workshop?
- A productivity gain thanks to quick installation and efficient lifting.
- An optimised workspace promoting ergonomics and safety.
- A sustainable solution adapted to the requirements of modern workshops.
One point of contact for the supply, fitting and installation of your lifting equipment
Whether it's for the creation, expansion or renovation of your maintenance workshop, you have a single point of contact to manage your entire project (supply of your lifting equipment, site meetings, civil engineering works, installation, commissioning and training of your staff).
Reduce downtime at most from your workshop
Thanks to our unique installation process, which is the same as that for our prefabricated steel tanks, we ensure a very rapid and hassle-free fitting service. The schedule for our intervention will be communicated to you in advance and will be adhered to. You will then be able to manage the downtime of your workshop during the works period as effectively as possible and prepare for its reopening.
Greatly optimise your work and dI reduce your civil engineering costs
The unique design of our caisson pile chassis allows for much narrower and shallower excavations. This reduces the scale of the civil engineering works required. Furthermore, you will not need to construct a raft foundation. The design of a concrete raft foundation is a costly and difficult task that demands extreme precision. its construction is complex as the raft must be perfectly smooth and level over a large area, which incurs significant costs that can spiral out of control in the event of defects.
The «classic» installation of jack bridges in France:
All market players offering recessed cylinder lifts install their solution either with a concrete framework and «pit», or with a complete chassis placed on a raft foundation and a cassette fixed from below. This type of installation involves considerable civil engineering work and costs: notably the obligation to carry out a very large and deep excavation to be able to descend into it during installation, but above all, it involves the creation of a concrete raft foundation on which the cylinder lift cassette will be placed and fixed.
Xpertive's installation:
As you'll have gathered, with our solution you'll reduce the scope and cost of your work, your workshop's downtime will be shorter, and you'll have the most efficient lifting equipment on the market.
