Using patented technology, Rotary Lift said its new Wireless Mach 4 mobile column lift does away with cords and cables.
Each Wireless Mach 4 column is powered by batteries and communicates with the other columns wirelessly. As a result, technicians no longer have to worry about knocking the lift out of service by running over the cords or getting one hooked on a truck bumper.
“The lift is a tool that technicians use to get the vehicle into position to do their real job: truck maintenance and repair,” said Doug Spiller, Rotary Lift heavy duty product manager. “Making the lift as fast and easy to use as possible lets technicians get to work more quickly, which improves overall shop productivity and drastically reduces vehicle downtime. Our time and motion studies have shown that Wireless Mach 4 provides a productivity improvement of greater than 30% over similar lifts, saving an organization more than $7,600 in labor costs annually.”
Technicians can operate the entire lift using a control panel on any of the columns. The panel features an intuitive graphic layout of the column set-up, on-board diagnostics, easy-to-read LEDs and one-touch controls, Rotary said.
Wireless Mach 4 is available in sets of four or six columns. Each column has a rated lifting capacity of 18,000 lbs. and is powered by two deep-cycle marine batteries. Lifting and lowering of all columns is automatically synchronized.
