Heavy-Duty Four-Post Lifts
Rotary Lift has introduced new heavy-duty four-post vehicle lifts that are both user-friendly and fast, the company says. The new HDC series four-post lifts are available with capacities of 50,000 and 60,000 lb for servicing a variety of heavy-duty vehicles including trucks and buses. The battery-powered lifts are said to be easy to operate and economical to maintain. Rotary claims they can raise a vehicle faster than any competing four-post lift.
Rotary’s Shockwave-equipped light-duty lifts and Mach series mobile column lifts have proven popular, the company says, and the new HDC series lifts incorporate their productivity features in an anchored four-post design. They’re a high-capacity option for shop operators who have a bay that can be dedicated to a four-post lift.
HDC series lifts can be operated from any column, allowing the user to work from the corner of the bay that’s most convenient. Each post is equipped with the company’s patented control system, which features an intuitive graphic layout of the lift and real-time height reading. The control panels can be preprogrammed to remember their locations even after the power is turned off.
Each HDC series lift column includes a hydraulic cylinder. With no cables or chains running the length of the runways and no sheaves, an HDC series lift is said to be easy to maintain. To further reduce maintenance needs, the four hydraulic cylinders are inverted, so the chrome piston rods remain protected from debris and damage at all times.
HDC series lifts are anchored to the shop floor using just a few wedge-style anchors per column. The anchors require no excavation or site preparation, saving time and money during the installation process. Electrical installation is also easy, since the lifts are battery-powered. Each column is fitted with its own batteries and an onboard charger, requiring only a standard 110V electrical connection for charging.
Two runway lengths, built to handle maximum wheelbases of 28 or 33 ft, are available for both models. The HDC lifts feature a 78-in. maximum rise to the top of the runways.
Several optional accessories are available.
Both models have been third-party tested and certified by the Automotive Lift Institute to meet ANSI safety and performance standards.
