The Mach 4 mobile column lift is sold in sets of four or six battery-operated columns. Each column has a rated capacity of 18,000 pounds and can raise a vehicle 69 inches in 78 seconds. Each Mach 4 column is powered by two deep-cycle marine batteries and is equipped with an onboard waterproof charger, so it can be used anywhere in the shop – including wash bays – as well as outside. Its hydraulic cylinder is positioned so that the chrome piston rod is protected from debris and damage at all times. Among the productivity-enhancing features of the Mach 4 is its horseshoe wiring schematic. While other lifts are connected by a series of four cables, the Mach 4 uses just three (forming a horseshoe shape), so the front or back of the lift is always open. This layout enables technicians to drive vehicles in and out of the bay area without wasting time disconnecting and reconnecting the cables from the lift. The cables are also located up out of the way, instead of on the ground. At the end of the day, a quick tug on each disconnected cable automatically rewinds it into a built-in cord reel on the column. Each of the Mach 4’s columns is identical, so a technician can control the entire lift while standing at any of the columns. Unlike pallet-jack style steering systems, there’s no need to jack up a Mach 4 column before moving it. Simply push down on the spring-loaded handle and go.
