Rotary Lift® Consolidated Acquires Hanmecson® International
RLC Now Has Manufacturing Facilities on Three Continents
August 1, 2007
Rotary Lift® Consolidated, a leading vehicle service hoist manufacturer, has purchased Hanmecson® International, effective immediately. Hanmecson is a wholly-owned U.S. company headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, that manufactures vehicle hoists at its plant in China.
With the acquisition, Rotary Lift Consolidated now has business operation centers and ISO 9001-certified manufacturing facilities on three continents: North America, Europe and Asia.
“Our intent is to make RLC the foremost provider of vehicle lifts to customers around the world,” says Gary Kennon, president. “Our U.S. operation supports lift users throughout North America, Latin America, Africa and Australia, while our location in Germany handles those in Europe and the Middle East. This purchase gives us a strong presence in Asia.”
By acquiring Hanmecson, the best-selling hoist brand in Asia and Australia, Rotary
Lift Consolidated is well-positioned to meet the expanding customer
needs of this rapidly growing market. Another Hanmecson brand, Direct
Lift®, is one of the leaders in the residential and enthusiast market
in North America.
For several years prior to the purchase, Hanmecson had been a manufacturing supplier to RLC for some hoist models and components.
RLC is owned by The Dover Corporation 
We have explained for the last several years that our Hanmecson and
Direct Lift hoists were manufactured to the same exacting standards as some
of the “better known” hoist companies. Now we can share the
secret. All hoist are NOT built the same! There are similarities in the
appearance of most above ground hoists, but the DIRECT LIFT and HANMECSON HOISTS are built to standards that far exceed those standards
incorporated by most other Asian lift manufacturers. Remember that when you buy a Direct Lift or a Hanmecson hoist from Tufflift, you are buying a quality piece of equipment
manufactured to exacting standards that far exceed other Asian
“Economy” hoists.
Why would you buy from anyone else?
We bring you the best value hoists from the world largest hoist manufacturer. We have been in business longer and have more experience than any other hoist importer. We are the hoist industry experts.
Be wary of inflated lifting capacity claims and fraudulent "approvals". Call us for the FACTS before commiting to your hoist purchase.
Paid for your hoist and it hasn't been delivered? Call us for advise.
Buying a vehicle hoist can be one of the most confusing purchases anyone can make. With over 27 years experience in hoists we hope to make that decision easier for you. Please peruse the following pages with our product range and general hoist industry information.
