Lifting one wheel of a floating axle will result in a dangerous horizontal
displacement of the column.
Hoisting floating axles
6.3 Linking the column lifts
The column lifts are set up in a completely closed circuit of at least 2 and at most
28 column lifts. There should be at least 1 (one) main column lift in a column
circuit. It is not important where the main column lift has been set up in the circuit
but it should preferably be positioned close to the mains supply.
If there is a single main column in a column circuit, the circuit is referred to as a
set. A set may consist of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 columns (2, 3, or 4 with a single phase).
Most vehicles have a weight distribution of approximately. 1/3-2/3. When using 4
columns, this means that the total vehicle weight has to be less than 4x the
column capacity. The maximum heaviest axle load has to be equal or less than 2
column capacities.
