Axle lift for a vehicle axle

An axle lift is proposed for a vehicle axle guided on an axle lever mounted in a vehicle-fixed support (2) via a pivot pin, with spacer plates (9) arranged on both sides of the axle lever between the latter and inner sides of the support (2), each of which is provided with an opening (39) for the passage of the pivot pin, and with a force member (11) attached to a console (12) arranged rigidly with respect to the support (2), having a pressure transmission (20) movable against the axle lever through actuation of the force member (11). In order to avoid increased lateral forces in the area of the pressure-transmitting parts of the axle lift, the console (12) is connected to the spacer plates (9). Furthermore, a corresponding spacer plate (9) is proposed, that is, a spacer plate for arrangement between the axle lever and the inner side of the vehicle-fixed support (2). The spacer plate (9) is provided with an opening (39) for receiving the pivot pin (6A) and at least one further opening (38A, 38B) for fastening the axle lift.
