The Mahle CWL-15 is a professional-grade air-powered wheel lift system designed for heavy-duty commercial vehicle service. With a robust 30,000 lb (13,608 kg) capacity per set, this pair of wheel lifts delivers the power and stability needed to safely elevate fire trucks, refuse trucks, heavy recreational vehicles, and motor coaches. Whether you're performing tire service, brake work, or suspension repairs, the CWL-15 provides complete open access under the vehicle without the need for additional support stands—thanks to its built-in vehicle support stand feature.
Engineered for versatility and ease of use, the Mahle CWL-15 accommodates a wide range of wheel sizes from 21" to 24.5", with optional small wheel adapters available to handle 16" to 19" wheels. The wide, spring-loaded base provides a stable platform for secure lifting, while the dual trigger control valve enables synchronized raising and lowering of the vehicle using shop air. With a maximum lift height of 24 inches and a minimum start height at floor level, this system is perfect for shops with low ceiling heights where overhead clearance is a concern.
The CWL-15 is purpose-built for the demands of commercial vehicle service. With patented controls (US Patent #D357,106 & 5,484,134) and powerful air-driven operation, you can lift one end of a wide array of heavy vehicles quickly and safely. The 24-inch stroke provides ample lift height for comprehensive undercarriage access, while the 160 psi (11 bar) air pressure requirement ensures consistent, reliable performance with standard shop air systems.
No more struggling with jacks and stands—this system eliminates the need for additional support equipment. The built-in vehicle support stand feature means once your vehicle is lifted, it's securely held in place with complete stability. This is particularly valuable when working on heavy commercial vehicles where safety and stability are paramount.
One of the standout features of the Mahle CWL-15 is its exceptional wheel size versatility. Out of the box, the system easily handles wheel sizes from 19.5" to 24.5". Need to work on smaller wheels? Simply add the optional small wheel adapters (# 485 80092 00) to accommodate wheels as small as 16 inches. This flexibility makes the CWL-15 ideal for shops servicing diverse fleets of commercial vehicles with varying wheel configurations.
The low-profile design is another major advantage. Starting at floor level with a compact overall footprint of 53.3" H x 41.6" W x 44.3" D, these wheel lifts fit into shops with limited ceiling clearance while still delivering a full 24 inches of lift height. This makes them perfect for facilities where traditional overhead lifts simply won't fit.
