Mobile column lift improves vehicle maintenance

The new Mach 4 mobile column lift is designed to provide fast and easy operation, and is sold in sets of four or six battery-operated columns. Each column has a rated capacity of 18,000 pounds and the lift can raise a vehicle 70 inches in just 78 seconds. Each Mach 4 column is powered by two deep-cycle marine batteries and equipped with an onboard waterproof Minn Kota charger. Units can be used anywhere in a shop, including in wash bays and outdoors, and its hydraulic cylinder is positioned to protect the chrome piston rod from debris and damage at all times. The Mach 4’s proprietary wiring layout is also designed to be faster to set up and more convenient than traditional systems. It uses just three communications cables (forming a horseshoe shape), leaving the front or back of the lift open, which enables technicians to drive vehicles in and out of the bay area without having to disconnect and reconnect cables. The cables are also located up and out of the way, and a quick tug on each disconnected cable automatically rewinds it into Rotary’s exclusive built-in cord reel.
