Council upgrades washbay facilities 25 April 2023
St Helen’s Council has upgraded its washbay facilities at its Hardshaw Brook Depot with a Stertil Koni Skylift that comes with a lifting capacity of 25 tonnes.
Stertil distributor CCS of Leigh in Greater Manchester supplied the 9m long lift.
The lift was recessed into the ground so that fixed run-ups were no longer required. The design of the bay and associated groundworks were undertaken by CCS in conjunction with their client and Stertil Koni. Once the site was ready for the installation of the lift, Stertil Koni’s engineers completed the task over a two-day period.
The heavy duty SKY250-9 can handle a range of council vehicles including refuse collection vehicles, street cleansing sweepers, highway maintenance tippers and flat bodied trucks, road surfacing machines and salt spreaders.
The electro-hydraulically operated Skylift is also available with lifting capacity options of 20 and 25 tonnes. Platforms are from 7m up to 14.5m in length, coupled with a lifting height of 1.75 metres. To ensure reliability in chassis washbays and steam cleaning facilities, the Skylift features fully galvanised platforms & run-ups, stainless steel axle pins and a stainless steel control cabinet, all complete with waterproof fixtures and fittings.
