Rotary Lift introduces the latest addition to its line
of mobile column lifts, the RCH4 mobile column lifting system. According to
Rotary Lift, the RCH4 has an easy-to-use, operator-friendly design that makes
it up to 30 percent faster than competitive lifts, for greater bay productivity
and reduced vehicle downtime.
The RCH4 is sold in sets of four, six or eight battery-operated
columns. Each column is identical and has a rated capacity of 18,000 lbs., for
total lifting capacity of up to 144,000 lbs. The speedy RCH4 can lift a vehicle
70 inches in just 78 seconds. The RCH4 also features Rotary Lift’s automatic
steering system which makes it faster and easier to position the columns for
service. Fixed forks fit most large tires without time-consuming adjustment, so
technicians can get the vehicle up in the air for service more quickly.
“Mobile column lifts are a popular choice for
commercial trucking fleets, transit agencies, government fleets and vocational
customers because they are versatile enough to be used almost anywhere to
service virtually any medium or heavy-duty vehicle,” says Doug Spiller, Rotary
Lift heavy duty product manager. “The new RCH4 is an excellent choice for
maintenance managers who are looking for a mobile column lift that’s affordable
and has the features and benefits they need to improve shop productivity.”
Every column is equipped with Rotary Lift’s patented
control panel. These intuitive controls include a graphic layout of the column
set-up, real-time height reading and error display, battery indicator,
programmable height limit settings and one-touch controls. Lifting and lowering
of all columns is automatically synchronized, and there is a slow-lowering
function for precision vehicle positioning. Technicians can operate the entire
lift from whichever column is most convenient.
Some mobile column lifts only work when the columns
are connected by a complete circuit of communication cables all the way around
the vehicle. But the RCH4 needs just three cables connected in a horseshoe
shape. As a result, one end of the lift is always open, making it easier to
quickly position vehicles on the lift. The lightweight cables feature a
quick-connect design and are 33 feet long for added flexibility.
The RCH4 is battery operated with an internal charger,
eliminating the need for power cords and improving the lift’s portability. Its
hydraulic cylinder is inverted so the chrome piston rod is protected from
debris and damage at all times, extending the life of the lift and reducing
maintenance costs.
There are a number of optional accessories available
for the RCH4:
•
High-efficiency LED lighting system provides
hands-free lighting under the vehicle.
•
Steel reducer sleeves slide onto the forks to allow
proper contact with smaller radius tires.
•
Large wheel riser kit raises tires on ramps to allow
for proper fork placement.
•
Weight gauge shows technicians the load weight of the
vehicle being lifted.
The RCH4 mobile column lifting system has been
third-party tested by ETL and ALI certified to meet industry safety and
performance standards.
