VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY
IMPORTANT:
Basically single and paired operation are only meant
for levelling a vehicle and/or in combination with axle
stands.
Safety guideline parameters:
- For single operation the maximum allowed
height difference is 2 inches.
- For paired operation the maximum
allowed height difference between front
and rear axle is 6 inches.
- In case of a tandem axle on the rear the
maximum allowed height difference
between both rear axles is 2 inches.
Lowering one column too far will cause:
- No load at all on this specific column!
- No load on diagonal opposite column!
- Double load on the remaining columns!
Columns used for very rigid vehicles (airplane
tugs, trains) will be overloaded when lowering one
column ½”to 2”.
Swing axle:
Lifting on one wheel of a swing axle will create
a horizontal displacement of the lifting
column. (see fig. 5.8-c)
