Hunter Engineering Co. has released an optional harsh-duty variation for its standard RX scissor lift racks.

Hunter says it is the first in the industry to offer powder-coating on runway-style lift racks. The powder-coating provides protection from brine solutions that have become harmful to automobiles and automotive shop equipment in recent years.

The harsh-duty rack has stainless steel slip plate top surfaces and turn plates. A zinc-rich primer base coat and powder top coat covers lift runways, ramps and bases which provides two layers of protection.

Additionally, the harsh-duty rack features epoxy caulked joints that prevent salt seepage between adjoining pieces of metal.

“Today’s brine solutions used on many roads are challenging automakers and equipment manufacturers alike. These solutions are so aggressive, that we decided to offer our customers additional options to keep their Hunter equipment in great condition for a long time to come,” says Vice President of Marketing Pete Liebetreu.

Hunter’s scissor lift family offers maximum capacity in a low-profile compact package, featuring extra-wide runways and a hydraulic system to lower descent time by 50%.
