Service departments have many options for vehicle lifts, but it can be tough choosing the right one to suit their operations.
Rotary Lift has come out with a free Lift Application Guide that categorizes lift styles according to vehicle sizes and weight, and is available to Canadian dealers.
“In most vehicle maintenance facilities, the vehicle lift is used more often than any other piece of shop equipment,” said David Fischmer, Marketing Director for Rotary Lift, in a written release. “With so much riding on your lifts, it’s important that they’re chosen carefully to meet your facility’s specific needs.”
The guide lists eight various vehicle classes, from class one at under 6,000 lbs up to class eight at 33,000 lbs plus, and then shows the corresponding lifts that would work for that weight.
“Of course, proper lift selection goes beyond vehicle weight, length and wheelbase,” said Fischmer. “Customers should also consider facility layout, the types of services they perform, budget, technician ergonomics, safety, efficiency, and productivity enhancements.
The company also said it offers a free service to help customers determine the style and number of lifts needed in a new or remodelled facility.
