Professional Heavy-Duty Lifting Power for the Most Demanding Service Operations
The iDeal Lift MSC-13K-B-678 mobile column lifting system represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty lifting technology for commercial service facilities. This complete 6-column set delivers a massive 79,200 lb. total lifting capacity, with each column rated at 13,200 pounds, making it the ideal solution for buses, heavy commercial trucks, construction equipment, large fleet vehicles, and specialized heavy machinery.
Engineered with advanced Siemens PLC technology and precision Electro-Optical encoder synchronization, the MSC-13K-B system ensures continuous, perfectly balanced lifting across all columns. This is the iDeal Mobile Column Lift that comes equipped with the latest professional-grade lifting technology pre-installed, providing unparalleled safety, precision, and reliability right out of the box.
Powered by 24VDC battery operation with a robust 3HP power pack per column, this system offers complete wireless mobility and positioning flexibility. Unlike fixed lifts or corded systems, you can position each column exactly where needed across your service bay, with a maximum distance between columns of up to 32 feet 8 inches. The integrated LCD screen with keyboard provides clear, intuitive visuals of lifting height and system settings, while the advanced master controller enables seamless individual or synchronized operation of all columns.
Available in Multiple Configurations:
This system is sold as a set of 6 columns (MSC-13K-B-678) with a total capacity of 79,200 lbs. Also available in 2-column sets (MSC-13K-B-226) with 26,400 lb. capacity, or 4-column sets (MSC-13K-B-452) with 52,800 lb. capacity to match your specific lifting requirements.
Why Choose the MSC-13K-B Mobile Column Lifting System
Massive 79,200 lb. total system capacity – handles the heaviest commercial vehicles, buses, and equipment with complete confidence and stability
Siemens PLC with Electro-Optical encoder synchronization – maintains perfect alignment across all columns during every lift and lower cycle for maximum safety and precision
True wireless mobility – battery-powered design eliminates cords and fixed installation constraints, allowing unlimited positioning flexibility throughout your service bay
Fast, efficient operation – complete lifting cycle in just 75 seconds, lowering in 60 seconds, keeping service times short and productivity high
Multi-layer safety systems – independent mechanical locking on each column plus emergency stop switches provide the highest level of operator and vehicle protection
Advanced Engineering for Professional Performance
Every aspect of the MSC-13K-B system is designed for professional-grade performance in demanding commercial environments. The adjustable 14-inch lifting forks accommodate the widest range of wheel sizes and positions, ensuring secure contact points on virtually any vehicle type from standard trucks to specialized heavy equipment.
Despite each column weighing 1,210 pounds (total system weight: 7,260 lbs), the innovative pallet jack-style wheel system allows a single operator to easily maneuver columns into position with minimal physical effort. Once positioned, the heavy-duty hydraulic system combined with oversized carriage bearings delivers smooth, fast, and exceptionally durable lifting performance.
The system operates at a remarkably quiet 70dB(A) noise level, maintaining a professional shop environment even during intensive use. With an overall height of 88.5 inches and width of 44 inches per column, the system fits standard commercial bay clearances while providing outstanding lifting range and rock-solid stability.
Safety is paramount in every design element. Each column features an independent mechanical locking system that engages automatically during lifting, plus a dedicated emergency stop switch that provides instant shutdown capability. These redundant safety systems ensure maximum protection for both operators and valuable equipment under service.
Standard Equipment and Optional Upgrades
Every MSC-13K-B system includes a professional cable reel system as standard equipment. This integrated system keeps synchronization cables organized, protected, and properly managed during column movement and operation, ensuring reliable communication between all columns during paired or synchronized lifting operations.
Standard Cable Reel System – Keeps Synchronization Cables Protected and Organized
Upgrade your system with the optional Hand Held Remote Control, providing wireless operation from anywhere in your service bay. This premium accessory gives operators complete freedom of movement and enhanced visibility during lifting operations, enabling precise positioning adjustments and control from the optimal vantage point.
Optional Hand Held Remote – Wireless Control for Maximum Operator Convenience
Optional jack stands are also available for extended undercarriage service work and additional safety redundancy when vehicles need to remain elevated for extended periods.
