Rotary Lift of Madison, Ind., released the Mach 4 mobile column lift, which is easy to set up and raises a vehicle more quickly than comparable mobile column lifts, according to the company.


The lift is sold in sets of four or six battery-operated columns. Each column has a rated capacity of 18,000 pounds. The lift can raise a vehicle 70 inches in just 78 seconds. It can be used to service vehicles from Classes 1 through 8.

Each Mach 4 column is powered by two deep-cycle marine batteries and is equipped with an onboard waterproof Minn Kota charger. It can be used anywhere in the shop, including wash bays as well as outside. Its hydraulic cylinder is positioned to protect its chrome piston rod from debris and damage at all times.

The Mach 4's proprietary horseshoe wiring uses three communication cables (forming a horseshoe shape), leaving the front or back of the lift open. This layout enables technicians to drive trucks in and out of the bay area without disconnecting and reconnecting cables. The cables are also located up and out of the way, instead of on the ground and automatically rewind into a built-in cord reel.

Each of the Mach 4's columns is identical, and the entire lift can be controlled while standing at the most convenient column.

Optional productivity features for the Mach 4 include:
• High-efficiency LED lighting system to provide hands-free lighting under the vehicle.
• Frame-engaging end lift to enable lifting by the front and rear of the vehicle using stacking adapters and two columns (15,000 lbs. total capacity).
• Frame-engaging beam that is used laterally across the vehicle for wheels-free lifting.
• Fork-lift adapters for lifting material handling trucks weighing up to 10,000 lbs.
