Rotary’s New XA12 Alignment Scissor Lift Offers Wide Service Capacity Range in a Small Footprint

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – Rotary, part of Vehicle Service Group (VSG) and Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced the addition of the new XA12 Alignment Scissor Lift to its extensive line of automotive lifts for independent shop owners, dealership service departments and car enthusiasts.

The XA12 serves as the ideal small bay alignment lift solution with the largest 4-wheel alignment wheelbase range available in its class. With a 78- to 164-inch 4-wheel alignment wheelbase range and 12,000-pound lifting capacity, the XA12 is designed with space and flexibility in mind. Shops can offer alignment services with bay space to spare, and technicians can perform alignments on a wider range of vehicles.

“This is another example of Rotary’s commitment to ‘Serving the Shop’,” said Tim Vaughan, Vice President of Sales for VSG Americas. “The XA12 lift combines the ultimate in lift versatility and service capacity, allowing shops to serve a wide range of cars, from compacts to large trucks and anything in between.”

The XA12 easily fits within the smallest of service bays with a minimum bay size footprint of 12 by 23 feet. Its open front and rear design provide technicians with greater access to vehicle adjustment points, making wheel alignments and other repairs easier to perform.

Additionally, the XA12 features adjustable radius gauges, which are quickly and easily configured for short and long wheelbases. The alignment scissor lift also comes standard with two 6,000-pound capacity air-operated rolling jacks and longer rear slip plates to accommodate a greater wheelbase range. Its hinged ramps automatically self-chock and drop down when the lift is raised, increasing the workspace around the lift.
