Rotary Lift launches Double-Section Scissor Lift

Rotary Lift has released its new RLP77 Double-Section Scissor Lift.

To service the widest range of vehicles, the lift’s extra-wide platforms feature hinged ramps that fold up and lock in place to extend the vehicle pick-up point surface. The ramps can also fold 65 degrees down and away, to give technicians more access to perform wheel and brake service, and also provide more than 78 inches of clearance (when installed above ground).

The lift incorporates a patent-pending, fully mechanical hydraulic system that does the lifting work equally for both platforms.

This Synchrodrive hydraulic equalization system uses fewer moving parts, hoses, valves and seals than other scissor lift systems, to provide greater reliability and fewer wear parts.

Synchrodrive also includes Blocked Platform protection to prevent out-of-level lowering. If something causes one platform to stop lowering (if it runs into a piece of equipment accidentally left in the bay, for example) the Blocked Platform function will stop both platforms from lowering further.

“We conducted extensive field testing on the RLP77 Double-Section Scissor Lift,” says Bob Ford, Rotary Lift new product development manager. “In many cases, it was positioned in a bay right next to a competitive scissor lift. The technicians loved the blocked platform protection, the smooth, easy operation and the rigidity of the lift – it doesn’t bend, flex or strain when they put a heavier vehicle on it.”

Rotary Lift engineered the RLP77 scissor lift with a built-in dampener system that allows it to quickly, steadily and smoothly descend all the way to the floor.

The Rotary Lift RLP77 scissor lift has a lifting capacity of 7,700 lbs. and offers minimum clearance of just 4 5/8 inches.

It comes with three heights of polymer rubber pad adapter sets that work with most cars. An optional set of extended height 7-inch adapters is available for lifting SUVs and frame-based vehicles with short wheelbases.
