Rotary FA5974 Features
Tire Support at Arm Height
The FA5974 securely holds tires at comfortable working height on your lift arms, eliminating the need to repeatedly bend down or lift heavy wheels off the floor during service work. This single feature dramatically reduces technician fatigue and back strain during tire rotations and brake jobs.
