“APTA Expo is an exciting opportunity for Rotary to demonstrate our Buy America-compliant and game-changing products to the transit market,” says Doug Spiller, Rotary heavy-duty product manager. “Agencies have unique issues with low-floor and hybrid buses, and our cutting-edge vehicle lifts can solve problems and improve productivity and efficiency in their facilities. The addition of wheel service equipment to our line-up means agencies can get what they need from a single supplier.”

The industry’s only wireless remote-controlled mobile column lifts, the Mach™ Flex powered by RedFire™, provides unprecedented visibility when lifting long vehicles.
