Previously, SmartLift in-ground lifts were installed 0.25 inches above the floor to help prevent water from infiltrating the lift housing. But, this left a quarter-inch bump that interfered with equipment and carts, not to mention the technician’s feet.
Rotary has redesigned the lift frame, the company said, to include a formed grade angle, which acts like a ramp on the front and rear of the lift, enabling technicians to move equipment over the lift.
In addition, Rotary said it replaced the original flange-style bolts on the cover plate with flush-mount bolts.
“Although these may seem like minor modifications, they add up to major improvements in what is already an industry-leading product,” said Jason Matthews, SmartLift product manager.
