Complete Rolling Jack and Airline Kit Package

This bundled package includes two RJ9S rolling jacks rated at 9,000 lb capacity each plus a complete airline kit for pneumatic operations. The pre-matched components transform the base lift into a wheel-free service solution, eliminating aftermarket accessory sourcing and ensuring seamless compatibility from installation forward.

70-Second Cycle Time for Efficient Throughput

The lift delivers a 70-second rise and lower cycle time to support efficient service throughput in busy professional bays. Combined with the 72\" rise height, technicians gain optimal working clearance while maintaining rapid turnaround during high-volume operations.

Closed-Front Cable-Driven Design

The closed-front configuration eliminates approach complexity while the cable-driven system provides mechanical redundancy and consistent synchronization across all four posts. This design enables intuitive vehicle entry without ramp sequences or alignment requirements, streamlining technician procedures and reducing positioning time.
