The Corghi Erco HC4002 is a 4,000kg clear-floor electrohydraulic hoist built for general repair and servicing, from small hatchbacks through to large SUVs and vans. It is designed and manufactured to the current EN 1493 lift standard and carries CE certification.
The HC4002 is an asymmetric installation. The columns are set to give a wide door-opening angle, so a technician can get into the cabin without risking a door edge on the post, and rubber door guards are fitted as standard. Four three-stage telescopic arms provide a wide lifting envelope for short to medium wheelbases, and the rear arms park parallel to the columns to leave maximum room for positioning a vehicle.
Two widths, two heights
Installation is where the HC4002 earns its keep. The top crossbar has adjustable mounting, so you can set the overall width at 3,500mm or reduce it to 3,250mm for a tighter bay, with 2,752mm between the columns. Column height is 3,995mm or 4,220mm, with an optional 700mm extension. The bent columns are built in two sections with an internally reinforced structure, which keeps the lift stable and makes it easier to move and install. The required concrete depth is 140mm, or 100mm with the optional base-plate extensions, depending on the anchors used.
Lifting is by two full-length, direct-drive hydraulic cylinders of the pushing type, synchronised by cable and driven by a 3kW motor in either 400V three-phase or 230V single-phase. Maximum lift height is 2,043mm. The double-telescopic pads adjust from 95mm to 174mm and include 50mm and 100mm extensions for 4WDs; optional pads reduce the minimum height to 78mm for very low vehicles, and an EV lifting accessory kit is available.
Safety hardware includes an electrically operated mechanical lock, an encapsulated arm-locking system with 360-degree toothed engagement that keeps moisture and workshop debris out of the mechanism, a top-crossbar limit switch that stops the lift before a roof meets the beam, and a CE safety stop before the final descent, which removes the need for a foot-guard bar. A secondary lowering-speed kit is available for a slower, more controlled descent.
