Nissan Upgrades Forklift Maintenance with Stertil-Koni 4-Post Lift

Nissan Manufacturing in Sunderland has upgraded its forklift maintenance capabilities with a Stertil-Koni ST4120 4-post lift, ensuring faster, safer, and more efficient servicing for its busy workshop.

As the UK’s largest car manufacturer by volume, Nissan’s Sunderland plant operates a high-demand forklift fleet. To keep forklift trucks in peak condition, the workshop required a robust lifting platform capable of handling a wide range of models. The ST4120, with its 12-tonne lifting capacity and extra-long run-ups, was the perfect fit.

The ST4120’s fully adjustable platforms allow technicians to accommodate different axle widths, while the low drive-on height and ultra-low wedge-style run-up ramps make it ideal for forklifts with minimal ground clearance. For businesses servicing 3-wheeled forklifts, an optional central platform is available, further enhancing the lift’s versatility.

Equipped with four powerful hydraulic cylinders, the ST4120 offers exceptional strength and reliability. An advanced electronic synchronisation system continuously monitors cylinder positions to maintain level lifting, while an independent gravity-operated locking mechanism prevents unintentional lowering - ensuring maximum operator safety.

The lift reaches its full height of 1,890mm in just 90 seconds, allowing technicians to get to work quickly. The ebright Smart Control System, featuring an intuitive full-colour touchscreen, enables seamless operation with simple push-button controls.

By investing in Stertil-Koni’s industry-leading lifting technology, Nissan has reinforced its commitment to workshop efficiency, technician safety, and high-performance forklift maintenance.
