Zusammenfassung:An axle lift (20) to be mounted to an air sprung wheel axle suspension of a vehicle. The axle lift comprises an actuator (22) adapted to lift the wheel axle and a supporting console (21) adapted to be mounted to a carrying bracket (3) of the vehicle chassis and supporting one end of the actuator underneath the carrying bracket. The supporting console has legs (34) extending along lateral plates (3B) of the carrying bracket, which legs have an upper leg portion (26) adapted to be arranged against the pivot bolt (15) head and the tensioning nut (16), or against accessories (17) arranged around the pivot bolt head and/or tensioning nut. The axle lift is adapted to be retrofitted to an existing wheel axle suspension without loosening the pivot bolt (15). The axle lift furthermore comprises a supporting bracket (27) which is connected to the supporting console (21), which supporting bracket in the mounted state abuts an underside of the carrying bracket to counteract the actuator force. The supporting bracket is adapted to be secured to the carrying bracket. The supporting bracket and/or the supporting console have an alignment feature (30, 35) to allow securing of the supporting console to the carrying bracket in varying positions adaptive to the varying alignment positions of the pivot bolt in the carrying bracket.
