DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Feb. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ravaglioli, part of Vehicle Service Group (VSG) and Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced the launch of a new KBI scissor lift series. This new series complements the Company's extensive range of lifts with a focus on the specific needs of the auto body shop world.

"Drawing on 50 years of experience designing vehicle lifts, Ravaglioli has introduced a unique automatic arm stop system that supports safety, ergonomics and installation flexibility as well as maximum load stability. This innovative series underscores why Ravaglioli is recognized as a world leader in garage equipment," said Emanuele Sandri, LD Lifts Product Manager.

The KBI series consists of five scissor lift models suitable for installation inside paint booth grids and preparation areas:

• Pneumo-hydraulic with manual arms - minimal and compact solution.
• Electro-hydraulic with manual arms - fast lifting.
• Electro-hydraulic with pneumatic operated arms - faster speed and enhanced ergonomics for use.
• Electro-hydraulic with wheel-lifting platforms - easy vehicle positioning.
• ATmosphère EXplosible with pneumatic operated arms - anti-explosion configuration.

The flexibility, speed and ease of installation are supported by a paradigm shift: the structure of the lift is adjustable and adapts, within a certain range¹, to the floor or grids. The unique always-on-pad function allows operators to optimize their intervention when positioning the vehicle. The arms are equipped with a built-in pad that allows them to remain on the lift at all times, even in the rest position, thus making it immediately ready for use.

¹ The lift can be installed without any additional shim in grids 270 to 370 mm deep. Changing the standard intake grill is unnecessary. All you have to do is remove the grids for a 2000 x 700 mm surface area.
