Rotary Lift introduces Inspect to Protect, the industry’s first nationwide heavy-duty lift inspection program. The ANSI national standard covering vehicle lift operation, maintenance and inspection, ANSI/ALI ALOIM (current edition) and a growing number of state codes and regulations require that all vehicle lifts be inspected by qualified lift inspectors at least annually.
“Properly functioning vehicle lifts are crucial to service bay safety and can directly impact both employee morale and productivity,” said R.W. “Bob” O’Gorman, president of the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI). “Periodic lift inspections following the manufacturer’s recommendations ensure reliability and allow the continued safe operation of the lift.”
Under Rotary Lift’s Inspect to Protect program, dealers can call Rotary at (800) 640-5438 and be connected to local, factory-trained lift inspection providers through the Rotary Authorized Installer nationwide network.
Each participating Inspect to Protect company has inspectors on staff who meet all of the requirements for a “qualified lift inspector” outlined in the ANSI standard. Plus, each company is required to attend annual Rotary Lift training, maintain insurance coverage and be able to provide customers with lift maintenance, repair and genuine Rotary replacement parts.
Rotary Lift equips its Inspect to Protect program providers with inspection checklists that detail what should be inspected on all of its lift models. At the conclusion of every inspection, customers receive an inspection certificate signed by the lift inspector that details what was found during the inspection, any adjustments made and parts replaced for each lift. This inspection certificate can be posted on the lift in a literature pouch provided by the inspector or it can be stored with other lift records.
The program runs through Dec. 31.
