Performance Edge

DOUBLE-S 2 POST DIAGRAM

Strong Double-S Columns

Rotary’s original Double “S” columns have multiple bends to maximize strength and longevity, while its compact cross-section provides more access to the vehicle. Technicians can perform services more quickly and easily with more access to the vehicle and a less restrictive compact column cross-section to work around. Self-lubricating and maintenance-free UHMW slider blocks are long-lasting and durable. Our time-tested, trusted design will maximize profitable uptime and give you the lowest ownership cost.

SPO12 3 STAGE ARMS

Optimal Reach Three-Stage Arms

Rotary Lift’s three-stage front and rear arms provide industry-leading reach and retraction to accommodate a wide range of vehicles, from small, low-profile cars to heavy-duty trucks. The kit includes truck and stackable adapters that accurately engage the pickup points of unibody vehicles and truck frames. Round rubber adapters are optional for low-profile cars.

SPO12 FRONT VIEW BAY FIT

Fits in Standard 12′-Wide Bay

Many competitor lifts require an extra-wide bay, but SPO12 fits in a standard 12’ bay. Our design provides the drive-through clearance needed to service cars and trucks quickly and efficiently within a footprint that maximizes the number of lifts you can have in your shop, boosting profit.

SPO12 LIFT HEIGHTS GRAPHIC

3′ Extended Height Option

A three-foot taller lift means more clearance for tall cargo vans and a more comfortable, ergonomic, and productive servicing height for technicians. The SPO12 has the highest overall height in the industry for its capacity.

SPO12 LIFT WIDTHS GRAPHIC

Widest Lift Option

Over one foot wider than competitor lifts, our 119 3/8” drive-through lift is the widest on the market with 17” of additional column-to-column space. This is perfect for technicians who need open-door access to wide vehicles or who just need to drive wider vehicles through to another part of your shop’s bay.

ROTARY SHOCKWAVE LOGO

Shockwave™ Accelerator Option

Shockwave-equipped lifts are the fastest in the world. They provide two times faster rise and descent, boosting your shop’s speed, productivity, and profit.

Product Features

  • ShockWave™

    Lifts equipped with Shockwave dramatically increase productivity in your shop. A combination of features lets you get the vehicle up and back down in half the time as a traditionally powered lift. DC battery power, Spotline™, and your choice of arm configurations help you service more jobs per bay, earning greater profit.

  • Legendary "Double S" Column Design

    The exclusive Double-S column provides strength through design for every Rotary two-post lift. Its unique shape provides a secure channel for the carriage to operate smoothly both up and down.

  • True Symmetrical Lifting

    Rotary’s SPO series lifts feature true-symmetric lifting designed for trucks and vans. The vehicle’s center of gravity is spotted directly between the structure, providing a smooth lift and plenty of room in front of the columns to open the truck and van doors.
