New arms make it easier to correctly spot and lift nearly any vehicle make and model, including EVs, using a single lift
Madison, Ind.—Rotary debuted its new, patent-pending All-Vehicle (AV) lift arms at the 2023 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas. The new arms are an innovation from Rotary designed to make it easier for automotive service professionals to correctly spot and lift nearly any vehicle make and model, including next generation EVs, using a single lift.
As vehicle designs continue to evolve in recent years, selecting the right lift equipment is becoming more of a challenge. As a result, shops have had to utilize multiple types of lifts to provide full service or offer limited service on some vehicles due to space constraints.
The new Rotary AV lift arms allow for maximum reach and retraction to properly lift all vehicles within the rated lift capacity using OEM recommended pick up points.
“Whether retrofitting an existing Rotary SPOA10 series lift or installing a next-generation lift system with the AV arms, shops will have the only automotive two-post lift they’ll ever need,” said Jason Matthews, Director of Product Management for Rotary.
The arm design eliminates the need to re-spot vehicles to properly reach OEM recommended pick up points.
Highlights and features
- Full clearance on EVs for easy battery removal and service
- The shortest arm retraction in the industry by up to 9 inches (ideal for EVs, SUVs and unibodies in addition to standard vehicles)
- A 30% larger pickup range than conventional two-stage lifts for easier vehicle spotting
- The lowest profile arms for a two-post lift in the industry designed for working on low profile vehicles without interference.
“A lot of people talk about the importance of future-proofing automotive service shops to prepare for the surge in EVs,” Matthews added. “This is all that and then some. It’s helping shops prepare to service more vehicles, optimize operations and increase profits.”
