Rotary Lift's new Wireless Mach 4 mobile column lift does away with cords and cables, making set up and operation of the lift simpler and safer.
Wireless Mach 4 can raise a vehicle 70 inches in just 78 seconds.
Power cords and communication cables can get in technicians' way, slow lift setup and are vulnerable to damage that can leave a lift unusable. Each Wireless Mach 4 column is powered by batteries and communicates with the other columns wirelessly. 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 company says, and Wireless Mach 4 also reduces trip hazards.
Technicians using Wireless Mach 4 make one trip around the lift at the beginning of a shift to turn it on and configure it. They can operate the entire lift using the patent-pending 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.
"The lift is a tool that technicians use to get the vehicle into position to do their real job: truck maintenance and repair," explains 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 percent over similar lifts, saving an organization more than $7,600 in labor costs annually."
Wireless Mach 4 is available in sets of four or six columns, each with a rated lifting capacity of 18,000 lbs. and powered by two deep-cycle marine batteries. Lifting and lowering of all columns is automatically synchronized. Wireless Mach 4 can raise a vehicle 70 inches in just 78 seconds. The lift can be used anywhere in the shop -- including wash bays -- as well as outside.
Columns are equipped with back-up communication cables that can be used in place of the wireless system with the flip of a switch, for virtually zero downtime. The system can also be retrofitted to existing Mach 4 mobile column lifts.
Rotary Lift's Wireless Mach 4 mobile column lift is made in the U.S.A. It has been third-party tested by ETL and ALI certified to meet ANSI safety and performance standards.
