Additional Product
There is an additional product you can purchase for use with your Lift:
• Rolling Jack. A Rolling Jack raises the wheels of a Vehicle off the Runways of a Lift, making it
much easier to perform service such as brake jobs and suspension work while the Vehicle is still on
the Lift.
You can raise two wheels off the Runways if you have one Rolling Jack. It takes two Rolling Jacks
to raise all four wheels off the Runways at the same time.
D4-9 models take 4,500 lb. capacity Rolling Jacks. Refer to the Rolling Jack pages on the
Dannmar website for more information.
