Rotary Lift’s Line Light 4 kit includes four long LED light wands that attach to the vehicle lift and produce more than 4,000 total lumens.

MADISON, Ind. — A new LED kit from Rotary lift illuminates the work area for technicians working on buses and trucks on heavy-duty vehicle lifts.

Rotary Lift’s Line Light 4 kit includes four long LED light wands that attach to the lift. About 600 LEDs produce more than 4,000 total lumens — the equivalent of about four 75-watt incandescent bulbs — but company officials noted that the LEDs use little energy and remain cool to the touch even after hours of use.

“It can be difficult to get enough light under long, wide vehicles in heavy-duty service facilities,” said Doug Spiller, Rotary Lift heavy-duty product manager. “Rotary Lift’s new Line Light 4 LED kit was designed specifically for this setting. Its unobtrusive design allows for the free movement of technicians and their tools, and its rugged housing is built for harsh shop environments.”

The Line Light 4 kit (P/N FA5700) works with Rotary Lift’s HDC Series, parallelogram, SM30 and AR18 heavy-duty lifts, and it can be retrofitted to most runway-style lifts. The kit’s four LED wands range from 50.5 to 56 inches long and can be connected in series to enable all lights to be controlled by a single switch.

Each Line Light 4 light wand is held in place by magnetic clips, which allow the wand to be repositioned along the lift’s runways as needed. The magnetic clips also enable each wand to be rotated along its horizontal axis to shed light on the floor, tool cart or vehicle underside.
