Previous successful use of Stertil Koni vehicle lifts was a crucial factor when Abellio decided to opt for four sets of wireless mobile column lifts to support operations at one of its newly-extended bus workshops.
As a member of the NED Rail Group, Abellio has 2,100 employees and operates over 610 buses to deliver 81 routes across central, south and west London and north Surrey from six depots. Abellio is recognised as one of the UK’s fastest growing passenger transport companies and, to meet increasing demand, recently upgraded and extended its Abellio London workshop at Battersea. Previous experience of Stertil Koni lifts by the company’s senior engineering staff, prompted the purchase of four sets of wireless mobile column lifts, type ST1075FWA-4.
The bus fleet based at the Battersea depot comprises a mix of 241 vehicles including the latest Routemasters and a variety of hybrid buses that are all Euro 6 compliant.
Each of the Stertil Koni ST1075FWA-4 lifts provides a lifting capacity of 7.5 tonnes so, when used as a set of four, the combined capacity is 30 tonnes to ensure safe, smooth and controlled lifting.
