Rotary Lift’s MW-500 Mobile Wheel Lift can remove and position any size wheel or tire weighing up to 500 lbs.
“With the MW-500 Mobile Wheel Lift, a single technician using a vehicle lift can lift the truck to a comfortable working height, raise the wheel lift to cradle the wheel, remove the lug nuts and lower the wheel to the ground without strain. A job that used to require multiple people can now be completed by one operator,” says Ron Lainhart, parts and service manager for Rotary Lift.
The MW-500 wheel lift’s arms are spaced wider than those on Rotary Lift’s MW-200 light-duty wheel lift to facilitate moving heavy-duty wheels and tires. The arms feature rollers that allow the wheel to be easily rotated 360 degrees when aligning it with the hub and are mounted on an offset column to provide unobstructed access to the lug nuts.
The MW-500 wheel lift is capable of holding dually wheels to maximize efficiency. Each arm’s roller is split in half so a technician can load two wheels onto the lift, raise them into place and rotate the wheels independently to align them instead of repeating the same process twice with a single wheel. A tie-down strap is included to prevent wheels from falling off the wheel lift.
The MW-500 wheel lift’s rise time is just six seconds. It is powered by air and comes equipped with an air hose and features an additional air tool connection on the column to reduce the number of hoses running from the compressor.
