ALIGNMENT LIFT
The new AR18 four-post alignment lift is one of the most versatile products offered by Rotary Lift, easily adaptable to meet the needs of car and truck dealers, independent repair shops, and mixed fleets.
The lift features two stainless-steel, turning-radius gauges for use when performing alignments and is compatible with all brands and types of alignment instrumentation. The AR18 has a rated capacity of 18,000 lb, enough to service everything up to and including class 5 trucks. One runway is adjustable by three inches to allow the lift to be narrowed or widened depending on the vehicle being serviced.
The lift can be used for repairs on everything from pickups to ambulances and day cabs. For four-wheel alignments it can be set up to accommodate wheelbases as short as 63 in. and as long as 162 in. The extended-length model increases the maximum wheelbase capability up to 198 in.
The hydraulic cylinder and lifting mechanism on the AR18 are tucked under one of the lift’s runways, eliminating a potentially vehicle-damaging overhead obstruction. Two 9000 lb-capacity rolling jacks are included as standard equipment to enable wheels-free brake, tire, alignment, and suspension work.
The lift features improved alignment turnplates and slots along the sides of the runways to accommodate an optional work step. Automatic ramp chocks engage when the lift is raised and strips of protective material have been added to the ramp bottoms to reduce noise and lessen the chance of floor damage. The AR18 consists of modular components, making it adaptable to meet specific wheelbase needs.
Four-post lifts simplify the alignment process, are easy to use, and help boost productivity, says Rotary Lift. The AR18 comes with a non-skid surface for secure footing, half-inch steel cabling for durability and a patented lock-management system for peace of mind.
The AR18 has been third-party tested by ETL and approved by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) to meet industry safety and performance standards.
