MADISON, Ind. (May 4, 2016) — Rotary Lift, a Vehicle Service Group brand, has received a U.S. patent covering two major aspects of the design of its award-winning Y-Lift vertical rise platform lift.
According to Rotary Lift, these design features “maximize rise speed based on vehicle weight, ensure a smooth rise and descent and increase runway structural rigidity for more accurate measurements when performing alignments, especially on heavier vehicles.”
The first enhancement covered by the patent is a weight-sensing, electro-hydraulic control system that enables the Y-Lift to raise vehicles up to 50 percent faster than other 12,000-pound capacity scissor lifts using the same amount of electrical power, the firm said.
