Find the Right Rotary Lift for Your Shop
Rotary offers a broad range of vehicle lifting equipment for professional repair shops, dealerships, fleets, tire shops, and other automotive service facilities. The lineup includes 2-post lifts, 4-post lifts, scissor lifts, alignment lifts, mobile column lifts, and other specialized lifting equipment.
Choosing the right Rotary lift involves more than matching the lift capacity to the weight of the vehicle. Vehicle size, wheelbase, lift points, ceiling height, available bay space, concrete requirements, electrical requirements, and how the equipment will be used should all be considered.
HeavyLift Direct is a certified Rotary distributor, and our team can help you compare those specifications before you order.
Rotary 2-Post Lifts
Rotary 2-post lifts are designed primarily for service and repair applications where technicians need open access to the wheels, suspension, brakes, and undercarriage.
When comparing Rotary 2-post lifts, consider more than lifting capacity. Overall height and width, drive-through clearance, arm configuration, minimum pad height, arm reach, and the types of vehicles entering the bay can all affect which model is appropriate.
If you're unsure whether a particular 2-post lift will properly reach your vehicle's recommended lifting locations, our 2-Post Lift Arm Reach Guide explains what to check before choosing a lift.

Rotary 4-Post & Alignment Lifts
Rotary 4-post lifts are available for general service, alignment work, and heavier commercial applications.
A 4-post design allows the vehicle to drive directly onto the runways, making vehicle positioning straightforward and providing a stable platform for many service applications. Depending on the model and configuration, rolling jacks and other accessories can provide wheel-free service capability.
Rotary also offers equipment specifically designed for alignment work. When comparing an alignment lift with a general-purpose 4-post lift, look at runway dimensions, wheelbase range, alignment features, available accessories, capacity, and the types of vehicles your shop services.

Rotary Mobile Column & Heavy-Duty Lifts
For larger commercial vehicles, fleets, municipal facilities, and heavy-duty service operations, Rotary offers mobile column lifting systems and other higher-capacity equipment.
Mobile columns allow multiple lifting columns to be positioned at the vehicle's wheels and operated together as a lifting system. This can make them particularly useful for servicing buses, trucks, fleet vehicles, and other equipment that exceeds the practical capacity or dimensions of conventional light-duty automotive lifts.
When choosing a mobile column system, consider the required system capacity, number of columns, vehicle configuration, available shop space, power system, and whether additional equipment such as vehicle support stands will be required for the work being performed.
Rotary Scissor & Specialty Lifts
Rotary also offers scissor and specialty lift configurations for applications where a traditional 2-post or 4-post lift may not be the best solution.
Scissor lifts can provide a compact lifting footprint for service work while eliminating the permanent columns associated with a conventional 2-post lift. Different designs may be suited for general repair, tire and wheel service, alignment work, or other specialized applications.
The right configuration depends heavily on what vehicles you're servicing and what type of work will be performed, so compare lifting height, platform dimensions, access underneath the vehicle, capacity, installation requirements, and available floor space.
Rotary Tire Changers, Wheel Balancers & Automotive Service Equipment
Although Rotary lifts are a major part of the brand's lineup, HeavyLift Direct also carries Rotary automotive service equipment, including tire changers, wheel balancers, alignment equipment, A/C service equipment, and related shop equipment.
For tire service equipment, the right machine depends on the wheels and tires your shop expects to service, expected workload, available space, power and air requirements, and the features technicians need.
Keeping these products within our Rotary collection allows shops to compare Rotary lifting and service equipment in one place rather than treating each product category as a separate brand.
Rotary vs. Other Car Lift Brands
Rotary is one of several vehicle lift manufacturers available through HeavyLift Direct. There isn't one brand or model that's best for every shop—the right choice depends on the application, vehicle mix, required capacity, certification requirements, available space, features, and budget.
If you're considering BendPak as an alternative, read our BendPak vs. Rotary Lifts comparison for a closer look at the two brands.

Why Buy Rotary Equipment From HeavyLift Direct?
HeavyLift Direct is a family-owned and operated certified Rotary distributor. We work with customers ranging from home-garage owners to professional repair facilities, dealerships, fleets, and commercial operations.
Our goal isn't simply to match you with a lift that has enough advertised capacity.
