Mobile Column Lift Can Be Powered by Remote Control
Rotary Lift’s new Mach Flex (MCH19 FLEX), powered by RedFire, helps technicians lift more than 150,000 pounds with a patent-pending remote control, according to the supplier. Using the remote control lets the technician move the vehicle around while operating the lift from anywhere in the bay for maximum visibility and flexibility.

With Mach Flex’s industrial-grade remote control, a single technician can operate the lift while walking around the vehicle and the bay, keeping an eye out for any obstructions or other issues, according to Rotary Lift. The remote control guides the technician through the setup process step by step, eliminating the need to stay at each column to sync it before moving to the next one.

The MCH19 FLEX also offers a new, higher lifting capacity of 18,800 pounds per column, enabling a set of eight columns to pick up vehicles weighing up to 150,400 pounds.

Also, Mach Flex features Rotary Lift’s patent-pending LockLight technology. LockLight shows whether the lift is resting on its mechanical load-holding locks, according to the supplier.

Worksite Light Designed to Burn Brighter, More Efficiently
The new WORX 20V Lithium-ion Worksite Light is a portable LED work light that generates 1,500 lumens, which is the equivalent of a 100-watt light bulb.

The cord-free WORX 20V Lithium-ion Worksite Light is designed to make any project where light is needed easier. A built-in hook can be used to hang the worksite light from the hood of a vehicle to see into a darkened engine compartment, among other hook-hanging applications. The user can also loop the worksite light’s frame to hold the light source in place or mount it to a conventional tripod.

The light is housed in a tubular frame with a rigid foot plate as its base. The frame incorporates a comfortable foam grip, which serves as a carrying handle. The high-performance, tempered-glass LED light’s frame rotates 360 degrees.
