Rotary Lift said its new Wireless Mach 4 mobile column lift does away with cords and cables. Each Wireless Mach 4 column is powered by batteries and communicates with the other columns wirelessly – so technicians no longer have to worry about knocking the lift out of service by running over the cords or getting one hooked on a truck bumper. Wireless Mach 4 also reduces trip hazards and makes lift set-up a snap, Rotary added.

Wireless Mach 4 is fast and easy to set up, operate, troubleshoot, retrofit, and update, the company said, adding that technicians can operate the entire lift using the patent-pending control panel on any of the columns. The panel features an intuitive graphic layout of the column set-up, on-board diagnostics, easy-to-read LEDs and one-touch controls.

Wireless Mach 4 is available in sets of four or six columns. Each column has a rated lifting capacity of 18,000 lbs. and is powered by two deep-cycle marine batteries. Lifting and lowering of all columns is automatically synchronized. Wireless Mach 4 can raise a vehicle 70 in. in just 78 seconds. The lift can be used anywhere in the shop, including wash bays, as well as outside, the company add.

In addition, Rotary said the lifts are equipped with back-up communication cables that can be used in place of the wireless system with the flip of a switch, for virtually zero downtime. The wireless system can also be retrofitted to existing Mach 4 mobile column lifts. The lift has locking mechanisms every 3 in. and a lower-to-lock function. Its easily adjustable forks can handle a wide range of wheels without bulky adapter sleeves, and optional extended forks are available for supporting inboard tires on dual-wheeled axles, according to the maker.
