HallCraft Upgrades Workshop Capabilities with Stertil-Koni FREEDOMLIFT

HallCraft, a trusted independent garage in the West Midlands specialising in MOTs, servicing, and accident repairs, has enhanced its operations with the installation of a state-of-the-art 2-Post FREEDOMLIFT from industry leader Stertil-Koni.

This latest addition marks HallCraft’s eighth vehicle lift from Stertil-Koni and reflects the company’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its diverse customers, including private motorists, fleet operators, and national leasing companies. 

Designed to support a broad range of vehicles, the 5500kg capacity FREEDOMLIFT is a game-changer for servicing light commercial vehicles, long-wheelbase vans, heavier electric vehicles, and camper vans.

The SK2055EFA FREEDOMLIFT stands out for its innovative double-telescopic arms and hinged elbow joints, ensuring safe and precise lifting of vehicles of various sizes and weights. Its telescopic support arms allow for quick and effortless adjustments, making it possible to reach the maximum lifting height of 2045mm in just 39 seconds. This efficiency not only streamlines operations but also enhances productivity for busy workshops.

With its baseless construction and absence of rigid overhead crossbars, the FREEDOMLIFT provides mechanics with unobstructed, optimal access to raised vehicles. This unique design makes it ideal for almost any workshop layout, enabling seamless integration into HallCraft’s existing setup.

Safety remains a cornerstone of the FREEDOMLIFT’s design. Features such as an independent locking system engaging at 210mm above floor level and gravity-activated locking pawl provide unparalleled reliability. Advanced synchronisation between the posts, fail-safe overload protection, and shielding for critical components like hydraulic lines and electrical cables further underscore its safety credentials.

“We are always looking to improve and this is a significant investment but it allows us to extend our offerings for our customers,” explained James Hopcraft, Director at Hallcraft. “Steril-Koni are the market leaders and we have been seriously impressed with their hydraulic lifts, they just never let you down.”

Hopcraft also praised the lift’s innovative design: “The concept of the FREEDOMLIFT is ingenious with telescopic support arms allowing us unhindered access to the raised vehicle. It was quite an effort to get it installed but the team did a brilliant job, once fitted it was immediately put to work.”
