Rotary Lift introduces Shockwave, a package of patent-pending lift technologies that it says dramatically accelerate vehicle service speed to provide greater technician productivity and higher shop profitability. Shockwave-equipped two-post and SmartLift inground lifts use DC power to drive the world’s fastest rise/descent times according to the company. They also feature a Spotline laser spotting guide to speed up vehicle positioning, and a choice of new superstructures to maximize flexibility.
“We spent two years talking with shop owners, dealers and technicians about their ‘pain points’ with vehicle lifts. Then we created Shockwave to address their common concerns,” explains Jim Dirksen, vice present, sales and marketing for Rotary Lift’s parent company Vehicle Service Group (VSG). “Recognizing that the lift is a shop’s top money-making tool, we included features that enable Shockwave-equipped lifts to start paying for themselves right away through lower installation and operating costs, and better cycle times.”
Shockwave-equipped lifts boast 25-second rise and 19-second descent times. This speed is made possible in part by its DC power unit, the company says. A Shockwave-equipped lift is battery operated, with a built-in charger that runs on 110V current.
The company says, technicians can position a vehicle more quickly because of the Spotline laser spotting guide and fast-set superstructures. Spotline projects a green laser line into the middle of the lifting area. The technician pulling a vehicle into the bay just centers the line on the vehicle’s hood and dash for positioning. A motion detector turns Spotline on/off automatically.
Rotary Lift offers five models of Shockwave-equipped two-post lifts. Choose between three superstructures: standard arm packages; moveable pads; or the pad/arm hybrid that combines a three-stage rear arm with a fixed front pad.
There are four models of Shockwave-equipped SmartLift inground lifts: the Trio superstructure or moveable pad superstructure.
Shockwave-equipped two-post and SmartLift inground lifts are ALI certified to meet ANSI safety and performance standards.
