“Technicians and fleet maintenance managers love the MOD30’s versatility, productivity, user-friendliness and proven performance,” says Doug Spiller, Rotary Lift heavy duty product manager. “Through our focus on continuous improvement, Rotary Lift has partnered with key customer fleets around the country to develop new saddle adapters and other design enhancements to make the MOD30 even better.”
According to Rotary Lift, the MOD30 raises trucks for service using two or three hydraulic posts. Rotary Lift has developed a lower-profile version of its patented universal saddle adapter for the front post. This truck saddle offers the same extensive reach as the standard saddle, the company says, while providing greater clearance between the lift and the truck. This design is said to make it easier to pick up vehicles with low ground clearance. Rotary Lift says the adapter can be retracted fully into the ground for zero obstructions when the lift is not in use.
For maximum flexibility, customers can choose between Rotary’s standard universal saddle adapter or a new “six-pack” adapter for the MOD30’s rear post. The new saddle features six receptacles that Rotary Lift says can hold multiple inserts that not only swivel 360 degrees, but also slide left and right to provide an incomparable pick-up range. As a result, the adapters can reach into areas that other adapters can’t access. This design also is said to enables the MOD30 to safely lift vehicles using the pick-up points recommended by their manufacturers.
According to Rotary Lift, both of the MOD30’s saddle adapters offer a greater adjustment range than any other adapters, making lift set-up faster and easier for technicians.
Technicians operate the MOD30 while standing at the upright control console. The console also provides lift status, operation and maintenance information, online training guides and programmable wheelbase settings. Rotary Lift says joystick controls allow infinite speed control for locating and connecting with confined lifting points. Rotary Lift also claims it has improved the console’s graphical display to make it easier to match the screen image to the lift layout. The console access panels also have been redesigned so the units can be installed flush against a wall, if desired.
