Hoist Lift Pad Adapters for New 2019 Silverado and Sierra

The all-new 2019 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 trucks will be arriving at dealerships soon. These new trucks feature a fully boxed steel frame that is 88 lbs. (40 kg) lighter than the previous models while offering 10 percent greater torsional rigidity. (Fig. 2) To properly support the vehicle, new lift pad adapters are required because the frame is wider than the previous trucks in the area where the front hoist arm lift pads need to be positioned.

The wider front frame requires a new front lift pad adapter for each one the front arms of the hoist to ensure the vehicle is lifted properly. (Fig. 3)

The new lift pad adapters are two inches larger than standard lift pads used with the last generation of Silverado and Sierra trucks. (Fig. 4)

Rotary

Two lift pad adapter options are available from Rotary:

• Adapters for 3-Stage Arms, part number ROTFJ6258.

The drop-in Adapters for Trio Arms are for lifts with a hole diameter of 1-1/2 inches. The drop-in Adapters for 3-Stage Arms are for lifts with a hole diameter of 2 inches.

The new lift pads can be used on current models as well as the new 2019 trucks.

Dealerships that use a different brand of hoist should contact their hoist supplier to determine the proper lift pad adapters for the hoists in their service department.
