Peoplesbus of Aintree in Liverpool have added a further set of four wireless 7.5t Mobile Column Lifts from market-leading manufacturer Stertil-Koni. They originally purchased their first set at the beginning of 2023 and were so impressed with the product and how it enhanced their workflow that eight months later they invested in a second set.
The ST1075FWA-4 lift set comprises four wireless mobile columns, each offering a lifting capacity of 7.5 tonnes thereby providing an overall safe lifting capacity of 30 tonnes, 15 tonnes per axle. Each column incorporates Stertil-Koni’s revolutionary ebright Smart Control System which allows workshop engineers to operate the columns individually, in pairs or in any other combination from any column in the set. Positioning of the wireless columns is also totally flexible, enabling them to be used in any configuration around a vehicle, with a maximum of 32 individual columns that can be seamlessly connected together.
Featuring full-colour touch screen consoles, the ebright Smart Control System has been designed and developed to simplify operation by providing maximum visual information about every lifting operation - all at the fingertips of the workshop engineers.
For added safety and performance, the ebright Smart Control System also shows how many columns in the set are being used plus the battery status of each column. Safety is further enhanced by an independent, always-active, mechanical locking system, incorporated into each column, which allows technicians to securely lock the lift to prevent a vehicle from being inadvertently lowered.
The Stertil-Koni ST1075FWA heavy-duty lift is powered by long-life deep cycle batteries which provide optimum performance for at least a week on average before recharging is necessary. Also, battery life is prolonged due to the fact that, unlike a screw-lift, power is only used to raise a vehicle therefore less time is spent recharging the lift which is carried out via a 230v single phase supply.
The absence of power and communication cables means that set-up time is greatly reduced thereby making the system fully operational much more quickly. Supplied complete with adjustable width forks, the Stertil-Koni ST1075FWA easily meets the challenge of lifting vehicles with differing tyre widths to ensure maximum versatility.
