Maximise Space. Improve Access.
Work More Efficiently. 

In busy workshops, vehicle lifting equipment plays a central role in keeping servicing and repair work moving efficiently.

Whether you're carrying out routine maintenance, diagnostics, suspension repairs, or tyre and wheel servicing, the right lift can have a significant impact on workflow, technician productivity, and the effective use of available space.

As vehicle technology continues to evolve and workshops handle an increasingly diverse mix of cars, SUVs and light commercial vehicles, lifting equipment must be capable of supporting a wide variety of tasks while maintaining high standards of safety and reliability. 

Choosing the right lift is about more than lifting capacity alone. The installation configuration, accessibility, vehicle coverage and day-to-day usability can all influence how effectively a workshop operates and how efficiently technicians can complete servicing and repair work.

SSL-3500
FULL-HEIGHT
SCISSOR LIFT
 
 

The SUN® SSL‑3500 Full Height Scissor Lift is designed to deliver precisely that. Combining a compact footprint with a substantial 3,500kg lifting capacity, it provides a practical lifting solution for workshops looking to maximise flexibility without sacrificing performance.

Suitable for cars, SUVs and light commercial vehicles up to 3500kg, the SSL‑3500 supports a wide range of servicing and repair tasks while offering installation flexibility to suit the unique requirements of your workshop.

KEY FEATURES

  • 3,500 kg rated lifting capacity suitable for servicing and repair tasks on cars and light commercial vehicles
  • Full‑height double scissor design allows you to fine‑tune the working height for the task
  • 105–2000 mm lifting range (surface‑mounted configuration) to support easy access and full working range
  • Versatile setup options configure as drive on reverse off or drive through to make the most of your space
  • Pull out extensions accommodates longer wheelbase vehicles
  • Flexible platform spacing 800 to 880 mm allows adaptable setup
  • 645 mm wide platforms provide enhanced stability and support modern vehicle widths
  • Rubber lifting pads included protect vehicle contact points during lifting
  • Four hydraulic rams ensure smooth stable lifting and enhanced safety between platforms
  • New automatic levelling system keeps platforms level during operation
  • Automatic lowering control provides consistent controlled descent for precision and safety
  • Emergency lowering override adds safety in fault scenarios
  • No compressed air required, no pneumatics simplifies installation and increases compatibility

ENGINEERED TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR WORKSPACE

Workshop space is valuable. Unlike traditional 2‑post and 4‑post lifts, the SSL‑3500 can be installed as either a surface-mounted or recess-mounted solution, allowing workshops to choose the configuration that best suits their layout. A recessed installation creates a flush-mounted platform that allows vehicles to drive directly onto the lift, helping maintain a clean workspace while maximising available floor area. With configurable drive-through or drive-on/reverse-off operation, the SSL‑3500 can be adapted to work around your workflow rather than forcing you to work around the lift.
