ARI-hetra Launches Industry’s First 9,000 lb. Capacity Wireless Mobile Column Lift

The first 9,000 lb. capacity mobile column lift, delivering 36,000 lbs. of total lifting capacity, ALI-certified safety, and reliable ball-screw performance for dealerships and medium-duty fleets.

Sharonville, OH — ARI-hetra, a leading U.S. manufacturer of heavy-duty vehicle maintenance equipment, announces the expansion of its Battery-Powered Wireless Mobile Column Lift lineup with two new capacity offerings that bring the company’s proven heavy-duty lifting technology to automotive dealerships and medium-duty fleets: the BPW-4-4-AJ, the industry’s first 9,000 lb. capacity wireless mobile column lift delivering 36,000 lbs. of total lifting capacity in a four-column configuration, and the BPW-7-4-AJ, a new 14,000 lb. capacity wireless mobile column lift delivering 56,000 lbs. of total lifting capacity.

Unlike traditional hydraulic mobile column lifts, the BPW-4-4-AJ and BPW-7-4-AJ utilize electromechanical ball-screw technology that eliminates hydraulic cylinders, hoses, seals, and fluid. The hydraulic-free design provides precise synchronization, continuous mechanical locking, reduced maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership. Both models are ALI Certified and ETL Listed.

“As vehicles continue to grow in size, weight, and complexity, service facilities need lifting solutions that provide greater flexibility without sacrificing safety or reliability,” said Steve Green, Vice President of Engineering at ARI-hetra. “The BPW-4-4-AJ delivers 36,000 pounds of total lifting capacity to safely lift virtually any vehicle found in a dealership or medium-duty fleet shop, so shops can benefit from a lifting solution that aligns with their application while reducing overall ownership costs compared to higher capacity equipment.”

For service facilities performing cab-off repairs on modern pickup trucks, both lift models can be paired with ARI-hetra’s Cab-Off Adapter, enabling safe cab removal and wheels-free frame service while helping maximize bay utilization and service capabilities.

Key Features:

  • Industry-first 9,000 lb. capacity wireless mobile column lift (BPW-4-4-AJ) providing 36,000 lbs. total lifting capacity in a four-column configuration
  • New 14,000 lb. capacity wireless mobile column lift (BPW-7-4-AJ) providing 56,000 lbs. total lifting capacity in a four-column configuration
  • Electromechanical ball-screw drive technology
  • Fully wireless, battery-powered operation
  • Continuous mechanical locking at any lifting height
  • Adjustable carriage design for various wheelbases and tire sizes
  • ALI Certified and ETL Listed
  • Nationwide direct factory service and support network

The new Battery-Powered Wireless Mobile Column Lift models are available now through ARI-hetra and its authorized distribution partners throughout North America.
