Hofmann Duolift Gte | 2500 Manual

The manual details a precise sequence for safe operation. The exact control lever functions are detailed on the lift's nameplate:

By law (in the EU and many US states), lifting equipment must be proof-tested at 125% of rated capacity every 12 months. The manual specifies that only a certified third party may perform this test on the GTE 2500.

Position the lift support pads (diameter 120 mm) at the manufacturer's recommended lifting points on the vehicle.

Press the "Up" button briefly to release the load from the mechanical safety catches. hofmann duolift gte 2500 manual

The lift utilizes a vertical trapezoidal lifting screw (spindle) inside each column. The carriage rides on a bronze or high-grade plastic Load Nut . Positioned directly underneath is a Safety Nut . If the load nut strips or fails, the carriage drops a fraction of an inch onto the safety nut, immediately mechanical locking the system.

Symmetric layout for balanced weight distribution Arm Configuration: Adjustable telescopic lifting arms 2. Pre-Installation and Floor Requirements

Raise the vehicle roughly 15 cm off the ground. Give the bumper a gentle push to verify the vehicle is balanced and stable. The manual details a precise sequence for safe operation

is a base-frame, electromechanical two-post lift designed for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles Doyle Technologies Inc Weight Capacity: Rated for a maximum load of (approx. 5500 lbs). Load Distribution: Permissible front-to-rear load ratio is 2:3 or 3:2 Lift Metrics: Boasts a maximum lifting travel of , bringing the total lift height up to depending on the pad setup. Drive Mechanism:

Ensure the facility provides enough vertical clearance for the full lifting travel of 1,800 mm plus the vehicle height. Critical Safety & Operating Procedures

The manual explicitly voids the warranty if the hydraulic oil is mixed (e.g., VG 46 with VG 32) or if non-Hofmann approved parts are used.
