Trial leads to lift purchase

Scania (Great Britain) has purchased 18 wireless mobile column lifts from Stertil Koni for vehicle maintenance and servicing operations at three separate depots.

The company's Lingfield depot trialled equipment from three suppliers, one of which was Stertil Koni with its 7.5t capacity lifts, type ST1075FWF.

The lift has a wireless control system that provides maximum access to the underside of a raised vehicle.

Each of the mobile columns has two long-life deep cycle batteries. When fully charged these will power the lifts for at least a week, on average, before re-charging is needed.

Batteries can be charged over night via a 230v single phase supply. As there are no cables on the workshop floor, the risk of tripping is removed.
