    TIM JOHNSON –

    Out of my 2 shops I have only 5 Rotary 3 – SPOA9 & 2 – SPOA10. I wish I had started buying Rotarys’ first. I’ve got Challenge, Benpak and Hunter. I’d have bought all Rotarys. While the Hunter’s have stood up well I’ve had to repair almost all the rest at some time. The 3 are 25 years old and I’ve had 1 pump fail after 7 years. The 2 are new bought in 2012. I personally like the SPOA10’s myself. The front arm’s are tirples, much smoother and easier to pull out. I bought the round extensions with the flats that screw up by hand. With it and the extensions I can adjust to any height within a 1/4 of an inch. I’d give it 5 starts but the newest one had an upper hose seeping from the start, nothing a rag a week didn’t take care of until they sent me a new one.

    Bob Burmood –

    how many adapter extensions come with this lift ?

    • blank

      admin –

      This lift can be configured in many ways. If you’re referring to adapters that accept extensions, then normally it’ll come with 4 short and 4 long adapter extensions. It could also come with flip-up adapters that have extensions that fit over top the actual adapter. Please note we’re referring to adapters as the part of the lift that engages or contacts the vehicle. Some refer to these areas as “feet” or “pads”.

    Brian Norfolk –

    I have a SPOA10 at home and it works. I looked at several lifts before I purchased a Rotary. They may cost a little more but it’s money well spent. A guy on my road has a big service garage with five lifts none are Rotary. He always has one or two not usable because of cables, hoses, locks, leaks. My lift at work I’ve had six years and the one at home, four years. Both lifts have never let me down. I bought all the attachments for the arms again money well spent.

    Doug –

    I personally don’t own any of these, however I have worked with them for fifteen years, between two extremely busy dealerships, all with SPOA10’s along with different four post lifts, 12,000 two post lifts and 18,000 pound two post lifts. These things are absolutely rock solid. We get them inspected and maintained every year by the installing company and I’ve only seen one power pack fail. I would love an SPOA10 at home, they will lift anything you can throw at them, and feel safe underneath them.

    How do I get the specifications to design the foundation and anchorage for one of these lifts?

      Rotary Lift –

      One of our distributors can help you with anchoring the lifts. If you’re talking about a baseplate template they can help you with that as well. Use our service installer locator to find the nearest in your area.

    Tim Schur –

    I am confused on what size lift I need..

    the largest vehicle I will be working on is a 2019 dodge ram 3500 mega cab dully curb weight of the truck is 7500lbs. my GVW is 11400.

    Would a 9000lb lift be sufficient for this or do I need to go up to the 10000lb lift or even higher.

    Does the lift go by curb weight or GVW of the vehicle? looking on line I found a chart that states I need a 11000 to 15000lb lift?

    Also can the controls on the lift be lowered since I am confined to a wheelchair?

    • blank

      Rotary Lift –

      Tim,
      The weight of the vehicle would be curb weight, correct. It’s the vehicle total weight and anything that could come with it, such as cargo if you have toolboxes, things of that nature. It’s always better to error on the higher side so you can work on anything that might come through the door.
      Since we make the product in the United States we can accommodate customizations like moving the controls lower. Your best option is to work with one of our distributors and they can pass the info to us for anything custom.
      Please use this link to talk with a distributor and include our conversation here in your messages to them. https://rotarylift.com/contact-distributor/

    Marc Seguin –

    Hi, the lift SPOA10 has an overall height of 11 feet 8 inches.
    With a 12 feet ceiling ……Do I have enough free space above to do the install. If not, can you advise.

    • blank

      Rotary Lift –

      You have enough room for the standard 220v version of the lift yes. The required ceiling height is 12′. If you’d like battery-powered “Shockwave®” capable lift you’ll need an additional 6″ of ceiling height for the hydraulic cylinders at the top of the columns.

    Marc Séguin –

    When you say 4 1/2 inches of concrete, does the cement also require rebars as reinforcements?

    • blank

      Rotary Lift –

      Yes the concrete requires reinforcing steel per -ASTM A615 Grade 60 Requirements / fabricate and place reinforcement in accordance with ACI publication SP-66, ACI Detailing Manual- Latest Edition

    i am limited on how wide of lift i can fit . on the SPOA-10 how wide is it from outside of post to outside of post .the plates don’t mater in my space but need enough room to get between post and wall .thanks

      Rotary Lift –

      Steve,
      The plates and anchoring in your space do matter. We have guidelines on how close to edges and control joints anchors are placed. We will send you an email with some reference dimensions to help you better make a decision about the space.

    Joe Kosiba –

    I just had a SPOA10-TRIO-RA installed. The lift is great but I have a question about the adapter extensions. Does the lift come the stackable adapter extensions or is that a optional accessory?

    • blank

      Rotary Lift –

      Joe,
      We do not recommend height extensions with RA (Round Adapters). RA adapters are only for use on unibody vehicles that shouldn’t require the use of height extensions. Extensions are available for purchase along with TA (Truck Adapters) that capture the frame within the “ears” of the adapter. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to us.
      Thanks

      We do not recommend attempting to alter the configuration of the lift as it was intended to be installed. If you need additional help selecting an asymmetrical lift we can help.

    Jon Monks –

    In our 75 year history these are the worst lifts we have ever purchased. They go up and down fine but once the vehicle is in the air they are very unstable. With a Chevy 1500 series you can get 1-2″ of sway movement at the top if you have to apply any sort of force. So much so that the tech that uses it will not lift anything bigger than a SUV on it due to safety concerns. Contacted Rotary and their response was “The “sway” that is seen in the column when checking the vehicle is due to the vehicle being too high off the ground when checking. We specify in our Rotary Authorized Installers (RAI) class that for a 2-post lift you should raise your lift only until tires are off the ground then shake the vehicle. All videos I have seen have the vehicle several feet in the air. This is incorrect. Please inform the customer of the proper way to check vehicle spotting. This “sway” is not a Rotary issue but from a customer misuse so we cannot replace anything. We can only educate the customer.” VERY POOR DESIGN!!!!!!!

    Bruce Abugov –

    Can this lift be installed in a home garage with an 11 foot ceiling if a portion of the the ceiling over the hoist posts is raised to 12 feet? if so, what is the minimum area that needs to be raised?

    • blank

      Rotary Team –

      Bruce,
      This can be accomplished as we’ve had customers install lifts between roof trusses or into tray ceiling areas of their shops. It would be best to consult with one of our installers for specifics in your situation as there are many factors that contribute to where the lift will be placed. Our reps can help with ideas you may not have thought about such as running electric, concrete specs, distances in front of the lift.
      Please see our distributor page for help finding someone in your area who can help. https://rotarylift.com/contact/rai-locator/
      Thanks for considering Rotary.
