Leighton Buzzard operator Marshalls Coaches has purchased a set of Stertil Koni ST1075FWA wireless mobile vehicle lifts.
Each column provides a safe lifting capacity of 7,500kg and has Stertil Koni’s ebright Smart Control System. That allows garage staff to operate the columns individually, in pairs or in any other combination from any column in the set.
The ebright Smart Control System simplifies operation by providing maximum visual information about each lifting operation. It also shows how many columns in the set are being used.
Positioning of the columns is flexible, allowing them to be used in any configuration around a vehicle. The wireless mesh networking system eradicates any possibility of communication problems between individual columns when numerous sets are in use in the same building. The maximum lifting height of 1.85m is reached in 75 seconds.
Power for the lifts is drawn from long-life, deep cycle batteries. They provide optimum performance for at least a week on average before recharging is necessary. Battery life is prolonged as power is only used to raise the vehicle. Charging is carried out by a 230v single-phase supply.
Each column incorporates Stertil Koni’s maintenance-free synthetic rubber wheel system. It is self-lubricating and covered by a lifetime guarantee. The integral hydraulic lifting system incorporates a microprocessor-controlled synchronisation function to ensure safe, smooth and precise movement, even when subjected to extremely uneven load distribution.
Safety is furthered by an independent mechanical locking system. When applied, it allows technicians to securely lock the lift, preventing the vehicle from being lowered inadvertently.
Says Marshalls Coaches Partner Glen Marshall: “We have been using Stertil Koni mobile column lifts for several years and we have been impressed by their reliability.
“We relocated our previous set of four lifts to our wash bay, where they continue to operate smoothly with no problems. As a successful company, our reputation is founded on the reliability of the service we provide. The lifts are a vital factor in helping us to maintain that.”
