Some lifts from Provac and Rotary, as well as many identical models from the Far East, are currently showing a new development in rubber pads.
An increasing number of these lifts are relying on a new design of rubber pads with screw connection from below. This construction is no longer just found on individual models. It is also increasingly being used on identical lifts of Chinese production.
What characterizes this design
This means:
- High-quality Böck rubber: ensures a long service life and optimal damping.
- Punched metal plate: The integrated steel plate is provided with punched openings. This allows the rubber to form a positive bond with the metal, which increases stability and prevents detachment. The rubber material on the support plate provides additional grip on the plate.
- Screw connection from below: no metallic connection on the surface, thus no risk of damage to the vehicle.
Our approach at Böck
We go one step further.
We coat this rubber pad with our Böck High Performance rubber. In doing so, we combine the advantages of the new design with a significantly higher material quality.
The result is clearly noticeable in everyday use.
The rubber pad lasts significantly longer than conventional OEM versions.
Less wear means fewer replacements.
Fewer replacements mean lower costs and less downtime.
At the same time, the time required during ongoing operations is reduced.
And ultimately, end-customer satisfaction increases because the solution simply works reliably.
Conclusion
The new design of the rubber pads is a sensible step in the development of vehicle lifts. Combined with high-quality rubber, this results in a solution that is not only technically convincing but also economically viable.
