The U-T50EA1 is a professional 5-ton two-post vehicle lift engineered for automotive workshops, tyre and service centres, dealerships, and fleet maintenance facilities that need a lightweight, low-profile, electrically released lifting platform with the performance-specified cycle times that professional workshop scheduling demands. Sharing its core dimensional platform with the U-T50B1 — including the 95mm minimum height and compact 770kg machine weight — the U-T50EA1 upgrades the lock release to electric operation and specifies a defined ≤45-second lowering cycle alongside the ≤45-second lift — providing the complete, symmetrical performance specification that allows accurate bay time allocation across both directions of the lift cycle.

Safety Features:

Electric Lock Release — Consistent, Controlled Latch Operation
The U-T50EA1's electric lock release provides controlled, electrically operated safety latch engagement and disengagement throughout the full 1,900mm lift travel — ensuring the locking mechanism operates reliably, consistently, and with unambiguous status confirmation at every lift position. Electric operation eliminates the mechanical variability, operator effort variation, and latch status ambiguity that manual release systems can exhibit across different operators and across the mechanical wear accumulation of high-cycle commercial use. For workshops where multiple technicians operate the same lift across shifts, and where latch operation consistency is a safety and workflow priority, the electric release ensures every operator experiences the same reliable, controlled latch behaviour from the first cycle of the day to the last.

95mm Minimum Height — Maximum Low-Clearance Vehicle Compatibility
The U-T50EA1's 95mm minimum height provides the lowest arm pad-to-floor clearance in the entire UNITE vehicle lift range — matching the U-T50B1's class-leading low-profile specification with electric lock release added. For workshops servicing sports cars, low-profile passenger vehicles, modified vehicles, and any fitment where ground clearance approaches the limits of standard-minimum-height lifts, the U-T50EA1's 95mm specification accommodates the full range without contact risk during loading — making it the electrically released lift of choice for vehicle mixes that include low-clearance models alongside standard height vehicles.

≤45-Second Lift and ≤45-Second Lower — Symmetric Performance Specification
The U-T50EA1's fully symmetric performance specification — ≤45 seconds for both lift and lower cycles — provides the complete, balanced cycle time data that workshop managers and service schedulers need for accurate bay time allocation. Where the U-T50B1's adjustable lowering time provides operational flexibility at the cost of a defined lower time specification, the U-T50EA1's ≤45-second lower cycle is a stated, reliable performance commitment — the same planning certainty in the lowering direction as in the lifting direction. For operations where predictable, consistent cycle times in both directions directly affect scheduling accuracy and throughput management, the U-T50EA1's symmetric ≤45/≤45 specification is the performance completeness that the U-T50B1's adjustable lower cannot provide.

770kg Machine Weight — Second Lightest in the UNITE Lift Range
The U-T50EA1's 770kg machine weight makes it the second lightest vehicle lift in the entire UNITE range — just 20kg heavier than the U-T50B1 (750kg) and significantly lighter than every other lift in the lineup. The 770kg weight delivers the same practical installation, positioning, and floor load advantages that define the U-T50B1's accessibility — easier workshop installation handling, more manageable initial positioning, lower floor structural load requirements, and greater workshop repositioning flexibility — with the added benefit of electric lock release included in a machine that is still demonstrably lighter than any other lift in the professional 5-ton range.

Automatic All-Steel Arm-Locking Device — Positive Mechanical Security
The U-T50EA1's automatic all-steel arm-locking device engages mechanically whenever the lift arms are positioned at the vehicle's support points — securing arm placement against vehicle weight, vibration, and operational forces throughout the service cycle under the full 5,000kg rated capacity. The all-steel construction provides the structural integrity that positive arm locking demands at maximum load — maintaining the support point position established before lifting throughout every service procedure at every height.

Dual Hydraulic Cylinders — Even Load Distribution and Stability
The U-T50EA1's dual hydraulic cylinder configuration distributes the 5,000kg rated load across two independent, synchronised cylinders — providing greater carriage stability, consistent vehicle support under variable weight distributions, and reduced stress on individual hydraulic components throughout the lift's operating life. The synchronised system maintains even column height throughout every lift and lower cycle — preventing differential height between columns under asymmetric vehicle loads on every service.

Anti-Explosion Hydraulic Safety Valve — Active Hydraulic System Protection
The U-T50EA1's anti-explosion safety valve prevents uncontrolled hydraulic pressure release under the 5,000kg rated load — protecting both the vehicle on the lift and the technicians working beneath it from the consequences of hydraulic system failure. Height limit switch, over-travel protection and chain protector drive system preservation complete the multi-protection safety architecture.
