Rotary Releases Patent-Pending Remote-Controlled Flex MAX Linker for Safely Connecting Mobile Column Lifts

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rotary, part of Vehicle Service Group (VSG) and Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced the launch of its Rotary^® Flex MAX™ Linker. Utilizing the latest Rotary technology, the Flex MAX Linker allows automotive technicians to quickly, easily and safely connect and control up to 18 Rotary Flex MAX mobile column lifts using a single remote. This innovation facilitates lifting large-scale vehicles such as heavy-duty trucks, multi-axle buses, coaches, and railway wagons.

"We are proud to offer a product that brings unprecedented convenience and safety to heavy-duty vehicle repair," said Mike Rozzi, Heavy Duty Product Manager for Rotary. "Connecting more than a dozen columns with a single, easy-to-use remote, technicians will experience new levels of efficiency, flexibility and profitability. This innovative solution will make repair shop operations smoother and more secure."

Linking the mobile columns together is easy with the Flex Max Linker. Each remote has push-button controls and a simple digital display. Each linked system can consist of two, four or six columns to adapt to the type and size of vehicle to be lifted.

The Flex MAX Linker will be compatible with all of Rotary's Flex MAX mobile column lift models. Each pair of mobile columns features adjustable wheel forks for a range of wheel sizes, with minimal setup time and industry-leading lifting mobility and power. Adding the Flex MAX Linker will improve service time and save space in repair shops.

"The groundbreaking technology in the Flex MAX Linker maximizes shop space, dramatically cuts down service time and makes technicians' jobs easier and safer," said Rozzi. "This new product reflects our dedication to delivering world-class equipment and accessories."
