Why Choose Rotary 2 Post Lifts?
Since 1925, Rotary has been engineering vehicle lifts with a focus on safety, durability, and technician productivity. Every Rotary two-post lift is ALI-certified and designed to meet the demands of professional automotive service environments, from independent repair shops to dealership service centers.
Rotary's two-post lift lineup includes both symmetric and asymmetric configurations, with capacities typically ranging from 7,000 lbs to 20,000 lbs depending on the model. Whether you're servicing passenger vehicles, light trucks, or heavier-duty applications, Rotary offers solutions engineered for long-term reliability.
Understanding Symmetric vs. Asymmetric Configurations
Asymmetric lifts feature rotated columns that position the vehicle slightly forward, allowing easier door access and improved workspace around the vehicle. This design is particularly beneficial for servicing passenger cars and SUVs where technicians need frequent entry into the vehicle cabin.
Symmetric lifts provide equal arm extension on both sides, making them ideal for trucks, vans, and vehicles with more balanced weight distribution. The wider drive-thru lanes on symmetric models accommodate larger wheelbase vehicles.
Key Features Across Rotary's Two-Post Line
- ALI Certification: All Rotary two-post lifts meet Automotive Lift Institute safety standards
- Advanced Arm Designs: Models feature various arm configurations including patented three-stage designs, truck adapters, and the innovative All-Vehicle (AV) arms for maximum versatility
- Space Efficiency: Rotary offers models designed for shops with space constraints, with minimum bay size requirements varying by model
- Customization Options: Many models support optional features such as extended height configurations, low-ceiling adaptations, and enhanced lifting speeds
Considerations for Your Shop
When selecting a two-post lift, consider your typical service mix, bay dimensions, and ceiling height. Shops servicing a diverse vehicle mix may benefit from asymmetric models with adjustable arm configurations, while those focusing on trucks and commercial vehicles often prefer symmetric models with higher capacity ratings.
Installation requirements include adequate concrete thickness and proper anchoring per manufacturer specifications. Professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Important: Specifications vary by model. Always check individual product listings and manufacturer documentation for exact details on capacity, dimensions, power requirements, and installation specifications.
