Key Features & Benefits
Industry-Leading 4-Wheel Alignment Wheelbase Range
The Rotary XA12 accommodates wheelbases from 78" to 164" for four-wheel alignment work, representing the widest range in its capacity class. This range enables a single bay to service vehicles from compact cars like the Honda Fit at 99" wheelbase to full-size trucks like the F-250 Crew Cab at 156" wheelbase without equipment changes.
Traditional alignment lifts force shops to turn away certain vehicle classes or invest in multiple pieces of equipment. The XA12's extended wheelbase capability addresses this industry-wide limitation by providing true versatility from a single installation.
This enables shops to maximize revenue per bay by accepting a broader range of alignment work. Two-wheel alignment extends to 166" wheelbase, and general service operations accommodate vehicles up to 183 1/2" wheelbase at rated capacity.
Complete Alignment Package as Standard Equipment
The XA12 ships with two 6,000 lb rolling jacks, two stainless steel radius gauges (turntables), two oversized rear slip plates, airline kit for dual jack operation, and filler plates for wheelbase adjustment. All components are included as standard equipment rather than optional add-ons.
Many alignment lifts require separate purchase of rolling jacks and turntables, adding thousands to the total investment and delaying alignment capability. The XA12's complete package approach eliminates this industry-standard upsell practice.
This enables shops to begin performing alignments immediately upon installation with no additional equipment purchases required. The rolling jacks feature internal airlines for clean routing, and the stainless steel turntables provide long-term corrosion resistance.
Open-Front and Rear Design for Technician Access
The XA12's runways are not connected at front or rear, eliminating cross-beam obstructions found on traditional alignment racks. The 40 1/8" to 40 1/4" gap between runways provides unobstructed workspace underneath the vehicle for accessing adjustment points.
Conventional scissor lifts with connected runways force technicians to work around structural members when accessing suspension components. The open design addresses this access limitation by providing clear sightlines and tool clearance to all four corners of the vehicle.
This improves technician efficiency by reducing repositioning and eliminating the contortions required to reach adjustment points around obstructions. The hinged ramps drop when the lift is raised, further increasing floor-level access around the vehicle.
Small Bay Footprint Installation
The XA12 requires a recommended minimum bay size of 13' x 28', allowing installation in space-constrained shops where traditional four-post alignment lifts won't fit. The overall width of 89 1/2" is significantly narrower than conventional alignment rack configurations.
Many shops lack the floor space for traditional alignment equipment, forcing them to refer alignment work to competitors. The XA12's compact footprint addresses this common space constraint while delivering full alignment capability.
This enables smaller shops to add alignment services without facility expansion. Available in surface mount (XA12N000) with 73 5/8" max rise or recessed mount (XA12N010) with 62 1/2" rise for flush floor transitions.
ALI Certified with 14-Position Safety Lock System
The XA12 carries ALI Certification with third-party testing to ANSI/ALI ALCTV standards, providing independently verified safety compliance. The 14-position mechanical safety lock system with pneumatic release ensures secure vehicle holds at multiple working heights throughout the lift range.
Standard scissor lifts typically offer fewer lock positions, limiting height options for technicians of different statures. The 14-position system provides more precise height selection to match work requirements.
This enables technicians to position vehicles at optimal working heights while maintaining verified safety standards. The pneumatic release mechanism provides quick, tool-free disengagement when repositioning is required.
5-Year Structural Warranty with RAI Network Support
Rotary backs the XA12 with a 5-year structural warranty covering runways, baseplates, and scissor mechanism. Functional parts carry 1-year coverage that extends to 2 years when installed by a Rotary Authorized Installer (RAI).
Industry-standard warranties on scissor lifts typically offer shorter structural coverage periods. The XA12's extended warranty reflects the engineering quality of Rotary's manufacturing heritage dating to 1925.
This provides long-term ownership confidence backed by North America's largest authorized installer network. RAI installation ensures proper setup and activates the extended functional parts coverage.
