Keep the Fleet Moving. Meet Rotary Solutions at APTA 2026.
October 4–7 · McCormick Place, Chicago · Booth #1020
Public transit runs on uptime, and uptime runs on the shop floor. This year at APTA TRANSform & EXPO, Rotary Solutions is bringing the equipment that keeps buses, coaches, and public transportation fleets rolling, all under one roof at Booth #1020. Get hands-on with our heavy-duty inground lift built for full-length transit vehicles, our FLEXMAX mobile columns that let you lift a bus anywhere in the garage, as well as our latest wheel service equipment engineered for the transportation fleet shop. Our team will be on the floor to talk through your operation, run live demos, and show you exactly how the right equipment turns bays into throughput. Stop by, see it work, and picture it in your shop.
Built for the Way Transit Really Works
Fleet maintenance leaders are being asked to do more with less: fewer available technicians, older equipment, tighter budgets, and a growing fleet of heavy battery-electric buses that strain traditional lifts and shop layouts. Every bus stuck in a bay is a route not running and a rider left waiting. Rotary Solutions equipment is built to close that gap. Our mobile column lifts free your team from fixed bays and adapt to any vehicle, any wheelbase, controlled by a single operator, so setup time decreases and floor space works harder. Our inground lifts deliver clean, unobstructed underbody access that speeds every preventative maintenance service and repair, while purpose-built wheel service equipment cuts the labor and injury risk out of one of the shop’s most physical jobs. The result: more vehicles serviced, more uptime, and a shop that’s ready for the next decade of transit, not the last one.
See it all in action. Booth #1020 at APTA TRANSform 2026. Let’s talk about keeping your fleet on the road.
Check Out the Equipment in Our Booth:
FLEXMAX™ 19
Whether you’re servicing buses, utility trucks, or any number of large commercial vehicles, no lift is as customizable and powerful as our FLEXMAX™ Wireless Mobile Columns. Preferred by technicians across America, our 19k-capacity mobile columns feature industry-leading wireless technology, setup time, and ease of use.
MOD235 FLEX™
The MOD235 Flex™ is the next generation of heavy-duty inground lifts. We took the same industry-leading features of the MOD30 and added new, game-changing enhancements that our customers requested, including options for a console, pendant, or remote control.
R501PLUS
The R501Plus tire changer’s patented operating system is unique. It is equipped with four rollers positioned diametrically opposite on both sides of the wheel. While the front bead breakers keep the bead centered, the rear breakers continue their course until demounting is complete.
R544PLUS
This versatile commercial truck balancer can handle any large job. Designed for the fast, accurate balancing of commercial, passenger vehicles, and motorcycle wheels, the R544PLUS is built to handle everything that rolls into your shop.
MW500
This mobile wheel lift can remove and position any size wheel or tire weighing up to 500 pounds, making it much easier and ergonomic for technicians to work on heavy-duty trucks, buses, and construction equipment.
R3AC50
The single-gas R3AC50 A/C cart is the recovery, recycling, and recharge machine your shop needs to provide simple, quick, and smart service. Featuring a 50-pound refrigerant tank and a dual-fan evaporator, the R3AC50 maximizes productivity and increases efficiency by automatically checking and displaying oil and refrigerant levels with easy-to-use control panel navigation.
Design Considerations When Using HD Lifts in Facilities
This certified AIA ongoing education course focuses on automotive lifting options for modern shops and how lift type, safety considerations, and regulatory changes impact facility design and the overall cost of building projects.
By the end of this course, architects will be able to comfortably make knowledgeable, code-compliant recommendations for automotive service facilities.
