Mobile column lifts are one of the most versatile,
cost-effective solutions for lifting virtually any
vehicle for service. But they have one major weakness:
cords. Power cords and communication cables get in
technicians’ way, slow lift setup and are vulnerable
to damage that can leave a lift unusable.
Using patented technology, Rotary Lift’s new Wireless Mach 4™
mobile column lift does away with cords and cables.
Each Wireless Mach 4 column is powered by batteries
and communicates with the other columns wirelessly. As
a result, technicians no longer have to worry about
knocking the lift out of service by running over the
cords or getting one hooked on a truck bumper.
Wireless Mach 4 also reduces trip hazards and makes
lift set-up a snap.
“The lift is a tool that technicians use to get the
vehicle into position to do their real job: truck
maintenance and repair,” explains Doug Spiller, Rotary Lift heavy duty product manager.
“Making the lift as fast and easy to use as possible
lets technicians get to work more quickly, which
improves overall shop productivity and drastically
reduces vehicle downtime. Our time and motion studies
have shown that Wireless Mach 4 provides a
productivity improvement of greater than 30 percent
over similar lifts, saving an organization more than
$7,600 in labor costs annually.”
Wireless Mach 4 is faster and easier than other mobile
column lifts to set up, operate, troubleshoot,
retrofit, and update. Technicians using Wireless Mach
4 make one trip around the lift at the beginning of a
shift to turn it on and configure it, and then they
spend the rest of the day concentrating on vehicle
maintenance and repair.
Technicians can operate the entire lift using the
patent-pending control panel on any of the columns.
The panel features an intuitive graphic layout of the
column set-up, on-board diagnostics, easy-to-read LEDs
and one-touch controls.
Wireless Mach 4 is available in sets of four or six
columns. Each column has a rated lifting capacity of
18,000 lbs. and is powered by two deep-cycle marine
batteries. Lifting and lowering of all columns is
automatically synchronized. Wireless Mach 4 can raise
a vehicle 70 inches in just 78 seconds. The lift can
be used anywhere in the shop — including wash bays —
as well as outside.

Wireless Mach 4 lifts are equipped with back-up
communication cables that can be used in place of the
wireless system with the flip of a switch, for
virtually zero downtime. The wireless system can also
be retrofitted to existing Mach 4 mobile column
lifts.
Wireless Mach 4 has locking mechanisms every three
inches and a lower-to-lock function. Its easily
adjustable forks can handle a wide range of wheels
without bulky adapter sleeves. Optional extended forks
are available for supporting inboard tires on dual-
wheeled axles.
Rotary Lift’s Wireless Mach 4 mobile
column lift is made in the U.S.A. It has been third-
party tested by ETL and ALI certified to meet ANSI safety and performance standards.
