DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- The new ARO22 Alignment Lift by Rotary, part of
Vehicle Service Group (VSG) and Dover (NYSE: DOV), makes
it easier for shops to service a wider range of vehicles. This lift
is the highest capacity, open-front alignment lift on the market
and can handle everything from passenger vehicles to larger work
trucks.
The alignment-ready lift has a 26-inch-wide platform runway with
40-inch spacing in between. It is also equipped with air-operated
rolling jacks, including a 9,000-pound-capacity front jack and a
low-profile, 15,000-pound-capacity rear jack. With these features,
the ARO22 can accommodate vehicles ranging from low-profile Class 1
passenger vehicles to Class 5 vehicles weighing up to 22,000
pounds.
"This lift was designed to accommodate the widest range of
vehicles and enhance technician productivity, which is key to
helping shops boost profitability," said John Uhl, Director of Product Management for
Rotary. "It's important for shops to have the flexibility they need
to tackle anything from alignments and tire repairs to brake and
suspension work."
The lift's air-locking rear steer plates are operated through a
power column that eliminates the manual process of setting pins,
allowing for a quality alignment, while LED lights integrated into
the runway platforms illuminate the under car to improve the work
environment. This feature replaces the need for auxiliary lighting
and enables technicians to focus on repairs and adjustments.
The optional SmartFILLTM integrated air inflation
system lets technicians set the tires to the desired PSI while
performing other work and has an optional dual tire filling
capability that enables separate pressure settings for front- and
rear-axle tires.
Understanding that safety is critical in any shop, the systems
patented articulating roller system and oversized front columns are
designed to help evenly distribute the load balance, while the
Sentinel Lock™ system features oversized slack cables and a guide
arm to ensure the lock latch stays in place. This helps extend the
life of the lift and allows technicians to safely and easily set up
a vehicle and quickly make repairs.
"Keeping a shop efficient and productive are top priorities for
our customers, and to achieve that, it's important to have the
right equipment in place," added Uhl. "We have been an industry
leader for 95 years, and it's important for us to continue to
produce quality equipment that helps speed up repairs, boost
accuracy and gives technicians what they need for safety and
reliability."
The ARO22 lift is compatible with Rotary's technician-friendly
towerless alignment systems and with other alignment systems on the
market.
