Rotary Lift has published a free guide that is designed to help customers choose the right lifts for their service facilities.
The Rotary Lift Application Guide was created to show customers at a glance the lift styles available to service each class of vehicle.
“In most vehicle maintenance facilities, the vehicle lift is used more often than any other piece of shop equipment,” said David Fischmer, marketing director at Rotary Lift. “With so much riding on your lifts, it’s important that they’re chosen carefully to meet your facility’s specific needs.”
The Rotary Lift Application Guide shows every lift style option, from the smallest low-rise lift for Class 1 vehicles weighing less than 6,000 lbs. GVW to the biggest modular in-ground lift for Class 8 trucks and buses weighing more than 33,001 lbs. GVW.
“Of course, proper lift selection goes beyond vehicle weight, length and wheelbase,” Fischmer added. “Customers should also consider facility layout, the types of services they perform, budget, technician ergonomics, safety, efficiency and productivity enhancements.”

Rotary Lift also offers its free assistPRO service to help customers determine the optimal number, placement and arrangement of vehicle lifts for a new or remodeled facility. Rotary Lift’s in-house team works with individual customers and their architects to create custom facility layouts that maximize productivity, company officials said.
