DeKALB, Ill. — SVI International has engineered to help owners of in-ground vehicle lifts by offering Zero Leak Technology, ZLT™. Sealing system upgrades are available to retrofit existing vehicle lifts. These lifts are common in fleet maintenance facilities and they were once made by companies such as Globe Lift, Weaver Lift and Rotary Lift.
Outdated seal materials cannot withstand the rigors of the shop environment for a consistent period of time, causing the lifts to leak. This means facilities have had to add oil at much expense to keep the hydraulic systems at the proper fluid level. In addition to the cost of oil, frequent seal replacement can also be costly. SVI’s new ZLT™ sealing systems are designed using the most modern seal material. This material is very abrasion resistant to withstand road salt, dirt, rust scale, debris, etc. found in the difficult shop environment. Unlike outdated seal materials, ZLT™ seals are not affected by ozone or ultraviolet light and have an unlimited shelf life. The seals are custom made for the lift’s low pressure application. The seal stays in constant with the rod surface to maximize performance and eliminate oil loss and associated costs.
Many fleet maintenance managers have been asking for this solution and now it is available. Recently, the City of Fresno upgraded many of their lifts and put an end to their leaking. Another user of the ZLT™ sealing system simply stated “outperformed everyone’s expectations” when asked how they liked the new seal system. Zero Leak Technology was designed with budget-minded transit authorities and city and municipal garages in mind or anywhere vehicle lifts are found servicing fleets.
