Published: 21 November, 2023
Straightset has launched the Space SDX35 EV 2-Post lift, which is aimed at workshops looking to take on EVs, as well as any conventional drivetrain cars and vans. The baseless 2-Post lift provides a lifting height of 2,015mm, and includes low-profile rotating final stage arms, reducing the space requirement making it easier to work under the car on parts such as wheels, brakes and suspension. It has also been designed with a new motor protection and cooling system and new thermal treatment on screws to reduce vibrations.
