Hanging on a 2-post lift using special transition nozzles
Attention! Old adapters designed for hanging W460 models are not suitable for W463 models!
Note. Attachments can also be used in conjunction with props to secure a raised vehicle.
A set of transition nozzles consists of 4 supports (1) and 4 basic elements (2).
The design of transition nozzles for hanging SUVs on a 2-post lift
1 - Support
2 - Base element
The nozzles are fixed on the legs of the 2-post lift, which are then brought under the ends of the side beams of the car body.

Hanging on a 2-post lift using wheel clamps
Another way to hang SUVs on a 5 ton 2 post lift is to use special wheel clamps.
Attention! The clamps are designed for fixing on rims with an outer diameter of not more than 900 mm!

Separate hanging of the body and frame
When working on a leveling stand, a scheme for separate hanging of the car body and frame can be used.
Installing a car on a leveling stand with the bridges removed is fraught with the risk of losing balance. In such cases, the body is dismantled from the frame and both elements are hung separately.
The body is hung out in a standard way using a 2-post lift and transition nozzles (see above).
When hanging the frame (both removed and installed bridges) the legs of the lift are brought into the areas of the support brackets of the trailing arms of the suspension, - in order to avoid the risk of loss of balance, the frame must be securely fixed on the legs.
