Mahle CAL-4 — 8 Ton Commercial Vehicle Air Lift
Drive axle service on commercial vehicles and fleet equipment usually means juggling multiple jacks or stands just to get a low-clearance suspension safely off the ground - extra tools mean extra setup time and extra chances for something to shift mid-job.
The CAL-4 is built to service drive axles with a single tool: 100% air-operated, an easy 7.9" starting height, and a downstop safety system with pins every 3" for secure load holding at any point in the lift. The adjustable saddle system adapts to different axle widths, and the design lets one tech service multiple tires in a single lift operation instead of repositioning jacks tire by tire.
Who the CAL-4 Is Built For
- ✅ Shops servicing drive axles on commercial vehicles, trucks, and fleet equipment
- ✅ Mobile service and field techs who need a low 7.9" starting height for low-clearance suspensions
- ✅ Bays that want to service multiple tires in one lift instead of repositioning a jack for each wheel
- ✅ Operations that value the downstop safety system's 3" pin increments for secure load holding
What the CAL-4 Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Loads exceeding the 8,000 lb (8 ton) capacity rating — step up to the CAL-10 for heavier work
- ❌ Shops without a reliable shop air supply to run a 100% air-operated lift
What Makes the CAL-4 Different
Downstop Safety System
Pin increments every 3" let techs lock the load securely at multiple heights during service — not just at the top of the stroke.
Low 7.9" Starting Height
The CAL-4 slides under low-clearance drive axles that a taller jack simply can't reach.
Single Jack Tire Service
One CAL-4 can service multiple tires in a single lift operation, cutting the setup time of repositioning a jack wheel by wheel.
