Why choose a rolling jack tray over traditional sliding trays? | Wildfire Lifts
In vehicle maintenance and repair, the correct tools can really make a big difference. One such necessary tool is the jack tray, which forms a crucial component in enhancing the functionality and efficiency of a car lift. Among the premium freestanding car lifts offered by Wildfire Lifts, the Wildfire XLT boasts a feature that distinguishes it from standard sliding trays-its rolling jack tray.
In this article, we’ll explore why a rolling jack tray is a
better choice, especially when paired with advanced lift features such as a
9000-lb lifting capacity, safety locks, boxed structural steel posts, and the
3hp ETL-certified motor of the Wildfire XLT. We’ll
also discuss the practical benefits and applications that make this accessory
indispensable.
Understanding Rolling Jack Trays and
Traditional Sliding Trays
A rolling jack tray is a moving tool that glides easily
along the length of the car lift's runways. This contrasts with other sliding
trays that often do not have much range or versatility; they are manufactured
for smooth action and allow more movement and precision.
Benefits of a Rolling Jack Tray
1. More Mobility and Precision
One of the most significant advantages of a rolling jack
tray is its smooth mobility. With sealed ball bearing pulleys, the tray can be
moved easily along the runway of the lift, so that technicians can position it
with high precision. This feature is especially valuable when working with the
Wildfire XLT, as the 9000-lb lifting capacity accommodates a wide range of
vehicles, from compact sedans to heavy-duty SUVs.
2. Versatility in Applications
A rolling jack tray is not only for the purpose of lifting
tires; it is a multi-functional tool to be used when such tasks are associated
with brake repair, suspension work, and undercarriage inspection. When used in
conjunction with drip trays for car lifts and aluminum decking inserts, the
overall versatility of the Wildfire XLT becomes even more majestic to be used
in professional garages and at home by DIY enthusiasts.
3. Improved Safety
Safety is one of the paramount issues in an automotive
workspace. The rolling jack tray is, in contrast to other sliding trays, more
stable; thus, the extent of unplanned shifting is reduced. Additional safety
features include the use of safety locks and cable slack locks in the Wildfire
XLT, which hold the tray into position for steering clear of mishaps.
4. Durable Construction
The rolling jack trays, built with strong materials, endure
heavy use for a long time. The stainless steel car lift building of the
Wildfire XLT complements its rolling tray design, ensuring the two parts may
last long together, even through demanding conditions.
5. Energy Efficiency
As this rolling jack tray is paired with the 3hp
ETL-certified motor onboard the Wildfire XLT, it offers the lift with a
performance that has the least resistance in its operation. This could lead to
a savings in terms of the amount of energy spent on electricity for operating
the lift.
The top features of the Wildfire XLT
inclusive of this rolling jack tray
1. Lifting Capacity at 9000-lb
The Wildfire XLT’s impressive lifting capacity ensures
compatibility with a wide range of vehicles, making the rolling jack tray a
versatile accessory. Whether you’re working on a compact car or a heavy-duty
truck, the tray’s mobility and load-bearing capabilities make every task more
manageable.
2. Freestanding Car Lift Design
This design of the Wildfire XLT freestanding car lift does
not require anchoring, hence giving one enough freedom while setting up the
garage. The rolling jack tray will be a seamless fit for this design as it has
unrestricted movement and ease of use.
3. Hydraulic Ram with Flow Restrictor
The Wildfire XLT’s hydraulic ram with flow restrictor
ensures smooth and controlled lifting and lowering. This precision translates
to better alignment and safer operation of the rolling jack tray, reducing the
risk of damage to the vehicle or the tray itself.
4. Boxed Structural Steel Posts
The Wildfire XLT is stable due to its boxed structural steel
posts. The rolling jack tray is supported by these strong pillars, ensuring
safe and efficient operation even at maximum load.
5. Sealed Ball Bearing Pulleys
This allows sealed ball bearing pulleys to come into play
that have a significant reduction in friction as well as wear. This indeed
increases the service life of the tray but more importantly improves user
experience.
Application of a rolling jack tray
in practical terms
1. Tire and Brake work
The rolling jack tray makes tire and brake repairs easy by
offering a stable platform for jacks and tools. It can be easily moved to a
different position in a short time, saving effort and time.
2. Suspension and Undercarriage Inspections
The tray can be moved smoothly along the runway of the lift,
allowing easy access to hard-to-reach areas, making it perfect for suspension
and undercarriage inspections.
3. Fluid Changes
It is used in combination with drip trays for car lifts,
preventing spillage and keeping a clean workspace while fluids are changed.
4. Vehicle Storage
The tray is also used as an additional support tool in
long-term storage applications such as securing the components or in the use of
storage tools.
