THUNDER PROFIMASTER
Mobile Lift & Accessories – Model 3000
INTRODUCTION
THUNDER PROFIMASTER is a new name in providing “VEHICLE LIFTING
SOLUTIONS MADE EASY” which means vehicle lifting is now completely redefined with a
German partnership. Now in India for the first time!
We are the same group who has been in the market known to all as “THUNDER HORN”
who introduced car air horns for the first time in India. Here we are with yet another innovative car
lifting concept again for the first time in India.
IME-AUTOLIFT, a brand well known in Germany for many years have been in the
manufacture of car lifts, truck lifts and train lift for more than 30 years. The company has its Head
office at Salzburg / Austria and manufacturing base in Germany and Hungary. IME-Auto lift has
sold more than 10000 machines in Europe since the year 2004 when they first invented the
concept. Now Auto-lift GmbH and Sundar Enterprises are jointly producing these machines in
India with most of the critical parts being imported from Germany.
The idea behind the invention of these machines is that a single person can now handle
the whole Garage by using various attachments for lifting, removing the engine, suspension
repair, Strut repair, exhaust repair, tyre shop, brake repair, body shop repairing, painting shop and
a lot more …
These machines are made to the German standards and have a one year warranty on
all manufacturing defects. An easy to maintain training manual helps you to keep the machine
working trouble-free for a very long period and due to the availability of all spare parts, these
machines can be used for a life time.

D. The THUNDER PROFIMASTER consists of:
1. The Column - The basic part of the system consists of a specially shaped column of folded metal sheet into which the lifting carriage is placed. It contains two channels for the control system, a horizontal bar as a grip for moving the machine, motor mounting, belt tightening screw and the top cover with a housing for the conical load bearing.
2. The Base - The base is A-shaped with fixed wheels at two of its ends and a mobile one at the third opposite end. This ensures stability and mobility. The base is made of two parallel bars bent at the right angle, a beam welded to the parallel bars and two centered holes. The bottom of the bars has housing for a bearing
3. Lifting Carriage - The carriage consists of a U-shaped structure, with two axles containing each a wheel with dry bushings, which carry the weight to lift, a cover with a hole for the spindle, and a vertical hook at the front for holding the different fittings. Inside is a force nut of an appropriate material for this function. Also a safety nut with an appropriate mechanism is provided to stop the use in case of breakage of the principal nut.
4. Control Mechanism - The control mechanism consists of parallel bars in a special design, on the top of which there is a control lever for the lifting and lowering of the vehicle. A reversing switch is attached to the bottom part of the bars, for the forward and backward run of the motor. This switch has its own box, with power cables going to the electrical motor on one side and to the electrical outlet on the other. The electrical motor’s power is of 1.1kW 1440 rpm, single-phase with high starting torque. The bars have two limit stops which mark the travel end for a total of approx. 1 m between the two ends. The bar also contains a pin for the safety control system.
5. Power Mechanism - Parallel to the column is a spindle which, through rotation, lifts or lowers the weight. It is supported between the upper and the lower bearings. Underneath, a pulley is linked through a belt with a motor pulley, located above the axle of the electrical motor.

4. Before lifting the vehicle, make sure the engine is turned off. Release the handbrake and put the gear in neutral position. (see figure 3)
5. Once these steps are completed, the vehicle can be lifted, as shown in the following image, moving up the lever until the desired height of the vehicle is reached (see figure 4) and moving down for lowering the vehicle. Don’t forget to release the handbrake and put the gear in neutral position when you are using the THUNDER PROFIMASTER. If you have no power available and the vehicle is in a lifted state, you can lower the vehicle by removing the top rubber cap and turning the spindle anticlockwise with a 30mm wrench.

6. You can also lift the vehicle at the rear wheel by proceeding as explained above. (see figure 6)
7. In case you want to lift the vehicle by the sill instead of by a wheel, you will have to replace the holding device for the wheel by the holding device for the sill. To do this, follow the next steps: Don’t forget to release the handbrake of the vehicle and to put the gear in neutral position!!!
a. Lift the holding device for the wheel, then take it from the groove and place the holding device for the sill in it as shown in figure 8

8. Once the holding device for the sill is placed in the THUNDER PROFIMASTER the vehicle can be lifted sideways, following the next steps: Place the lift perpendicular to the vehicle’s side-view mirror as shown in figures 8, 9, 10
9. Remember that the THUNDER PROFIMASTER with the holding device for the sill always has to be aligned with the vehicle’s external rear-view mirror. Never in the center (see figure 11) or at the back (see figure 12).

Why does the vehicle not turn over when lifting it with the THUNDER
PROFIMASTER
The vehicle is shown by the force F representing its weight. The force F will remain vertical as the
vehicle gradually inclines. On the other side is the point of rotation R. While the vehicle is inclining, the
distance ‘d’ between ‘F’ and ‘R’ decreases. Until this distance ‘d’ doesn’t reach zero or turn negative,
the vehicle WILL NOT TURN OVER.
This will NEVER happen with the THUNDER PROFIMASTER
