New Washbay SKYLIFT for VOLVO

Stertil Koni’s Skylift has again been chosen by Volvo Truck and Bus East Anglia as vehicle lift of choice. The Skylift will be used as a wash bay lift in Volvo’s £6m purpose built facility in Wellingborough. 

The new dealership which opened in December 2013, features five service bays, state of the art workshop facilities and equipment and a RoadCrew solutions shop, as well as numerous other facilities for customers. 

Previous successful installations of Stertil Koni’s Skylift in other Volvo depots in Norwich and Ely, meant that the new Sky-200 for the Wellingborough build was confidently specified.  

The Sky-200 features advanced state-of-the-art technology. The lift is made from galvanised steel and its hydraulic system is electronically controlled using inclinometers to monitor vehicle weight displacement and ensure smooth synchronisation between the four lifting points.

Capable of lifting vehicles weighing up to 20 tonnes and designed to be free of cross beams and posts, ensures easy access to both the vehicle and lift. The ideal width for the setup can also be chosen, depending on the type of vehicles to be serviced. 

With an extremely low drive on height of the nine metre platform is just 350mm and a generous lifting space of 1.75 metres, the Sky-200 is one of the safest and most versatile products on the market. 

Simon Laffoley, National Accounts Manager of Stertil Koni, says, “With its galvanised steel and excellent under-vehicle accessStertil Koni’s Skylift is both reliable and durable and therefore perfectly suited to a washbay installation such as this.”
