Hunter PowerSlide® Turnplates and Slipplates Eliminate Time-Consuming "Laps" Around the Vehicle

Hunter’s PowerSlide® system controls turnplate and slipplate operation, so technicians no longer have to make multiple trips around the vehicle and struggle to remove and replace lock pins during alignment procedures.

Technicians can operate the PowerSlide system in two ways.  One way is to use the PowerSlide control panel located on the lift console to lock or unlock the plates as needed with the touch of a button.
The PowerSlide system also works as an integrated software feature of Hunter’s new HS401 HawkEye™ alignment systems.  With the new HawkEye systems, the PowerSlide system communicates directly with the alignment console to lock and unlock turnplates and slipplates automatically through the alignment process without any input from the technician.  The automated control speeds service by eliminating a time-consuming responsibility of the technician.

For added safety, the PowerSlide system also automatically locks the turnplates and slipplates when the lift is lowered to the ground.  This prevents technicians from driving off the lift with the plates unsecured – a leading cause of lift damage.

PowerSlide turnplates and slipplates are available on newly purchased, select Hunter RX scissor lifts.
