The Mahle CWL-10 Commercial Vehicle Air Wheel Lift (set of 2) is engineered for heavy-duty shops servicing fire trucks, refuse vehicles, motor coaches, and large recreational vehicles. With a combined 20,000 lb capacity per set, these patented air wheel lifts eliminate the need for traditional floor jacks and cumbersome support stands, giving technicians complete open access beneath the vehicle for streamlined service and repair work.
Designed for commercial truck bays and fleet maintenance facilities, the CWL-10 lifts vehicles directly from floor level to 24 inches using shop air at 160 psi. The wide, spring-loaded base delivers exceptional stability under load, while the built-in vehicle support stand feature safely holds the vehicle in position, allowing technicians to work confidently underneath without additional equipment.
Whether you're servicing dual-wheel commercial axles or handling brake maintenance on heavy coaches, the Mahle CWL-10 air wheel lift provides fast, safe lifting with the convenience of dual trigger control valve synchronization for balanced raising and lowering. These lifts are ideal for shops with limited ceiling clearance where traditional heavy-duty lifts cannot be installed.
The Mahle CWL-10 is built to the demands of high-volume commercial truck and fleet repair environments. Each lift starts from floor level and extends a full 24-inch stroke, raising vehicles smoothly and securely with precision air cylinder control. The wide base and robust steel construction ensure stability even when lifting the heaviest loads.
A standout feature is the dual trigger control valve, which allows operators to synchronize both lifts simultaneously for balanced, safe vehicle elevation. This patented design (US Patent #D357,106 & 5,484,134) is trusted by fleet maintenance professionals across North America for its reliability and ease of use.
For shops servicing a diverse range of wheel sizes, the CWL-10 easily handles 21" to 24.5" wheels out of the box. Adding optional small wheel adapters (part # 485 80092 00, sold separately) extends compatibility down to 16-inch wheels, making this lift system adaptable for medium-duty trucks, delivery vans, and smaller commercial vehicles as well.
One of the greatest advantages of the Mahle CWL-10 air wheel lift is the elimination of supplemental jack stands and support equipment. Once lifted, the built-in support stand mechanism holds the vehicle securely, giving technicians unrestricted access to axles, brakes, suspension, exhaust systems, and drivetrain components.
This open-access design dramatically improves workflow efficiency in busy commercial service bays. Technicians can roll tool carts directly underneath, maneuver freely around the lifted vehicle, and complete complex repairs faster without constantly working around obstructive support equipment.

Many commercial truck service facilities face the challenge of low ceilings, making traditional heavy-duty lifts impractical or impossible to install. The Mahle CWL-10 solves this problem with its compact 53.3" overall height and 24" maximum lift, providing sufficient working clearance without requiring tall bay doors or high ceilings.
This makes the CWL-10 the ideal choice for retrofit installations in existing facilities, mobile service operations, and smaller fleet garages where overhead space is at a premium. Despite the compact profile, you still get a full 10 tons per lift (20,000 lb total) of heavy-duty capacity.
The Mahle CWL-10 operates entirely on compressed air at 160 psi – no hydraulics, no electric motors, just clean and dependable pneumatic power. Air-powered systems are easier to maintain, more resistant to contamination, and highly reliable in demanding shop environments where uptime is critical.
Backed by US Patents #D357,106 & 5,484,134, the Mahle air wheel lift design has been refined and proven in thousands of commercial service facilities worldwide. The patented control system and support stand mechanism ensure safe, repeatable lifting cycles day after day, giving shop owners peace of mind and technicians a tool they can trust.
Note: Small wheel adapters for 16" to 19" wheels are sold separately (part # 485 80092 00).
The CWL-10 is the professional choice for:
If your shop handles vehicles too large for standard automotive lifts but you lack the ceiling height or budget for massive in-ground systems, the Mahle CWL-10 offers the perfect middle ground: heavy-duty capacity, portability, and compact dimensions that fit real-world shop constraints.
