DOWNERS
GROVE, Ill., Jan. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rotary®, part of
Vehicle Service Group™ (VSG) and Dover (NYSE: DOV),
today announced the launch of its new, patent-pending All-Vehicle
(AV) lift arms. The arms are a breakthrough innovation designed to
make it easier for automotive service professionals to correctly
spot and lift nearly any vehicle make and model – including next
generation electric vehicles (EVs) – using a single lift.
As vehicle designs have continued to evolve in recent years,
selecting the right lift equipment is becoming more of a challenge
for automotive service professionals. As a result, automotive
service shops have had to utilize multiple types of lifts to
provide full service or offer limited service on some vehicles due
to space constraints.
The new Rotary AV lift arms allow for maximum reach and
retraction to properly lift all vehicles within the rated lift
capacity using OEM recommended pick up points. Both large and small
shops can now easily lift EVs, imports and luxury vehicles without
having to turn business away because of the inability to properly
lift specific models.
"Whether retrofitting an existing Rotary SPOA10 series lift or
installing a next-generation lift system with the AV arms, shops
will have the only automotive two-post lift they'll ever need,"
said Jason Matthews, Director of
Product Management for Rotary.
The AV lift's unique arm design eliminates the need to re-spot
vehicles to properly reach OEM recommended pick up points. Its
launch is yet another way in which Rotary is 'Serving the Shop' by
helping owners and technicians run their repair operations more
efficiently and maximize labor time and cost savings.
Among the numerous benefits the new AV lift arms bring to the
automotive service space are:
- Full clearance on EVs for easy battery removal and service
- The shortest arm retraction in the industry by up to 9 inches
(ideal for EVs, SUVs and unibodies in addition to standard
vehicles)
- Easier vehicle spotting with a 30% larger pickup range than
conventional two-stage lifts
- The lowest profile arms for a two-post lift in the industry,
designed for working on low profile vehicles without
interference
"The anticipated surge in EV adoption underscores the importance
of future-proofing automotive service shops," Matthews added. "The
new AV arms are doing that and more by helping shops prepare to
service more vehicles, optimize operations and increase
profits."
