“We are extremely proud to reach this milestone,” says Durant Plant Manager Wayne Bowling. “While we know others have offshored similar products, Hunter keeps reinvesting in our plant and our people. We are fortunate to have both dedicated employees who have contributed to Hunter’s strong manufacturing presence in the USA, and 30,000-plus customers who believe the technology, durability and value of RX racks are worth it.”
Hunter’s RX Scissor Lift family is now in its third generation and used in a wide-array of shops in over 100 countries, the company says. The first rack was produced in 2001. All of Hunter’s alignment racks have been manufactured in Durant since 1976.
Today, the RX Scissor Lift Rack is available in various capacities, including 10,000, 12,000, 14,000 and 16,000 lb. The rack offers a low-profile compact package, featuring extra-wide runways and a hydraulic system to lower descent time by 50 percent. Hunter’s patented PowerSlide feature locks slip plates and turn plates, freeing the technician of traditional pin-locking, Hunter says.
