The heavy-duty commercial vehicle lifts are used to simplify servicing and general maintenance on DPD’s fleet of commercial vehicles, which include two-axle tractor units, terminal tractors and 3.5 tonne vans.
Ian Davey, fleet services manager at DPD, says that accessibility is one of the lift’s key features – with the absence of cross beams meaning workshop engineers have unrestricted access to the underside of raised vehicles.
Another important element of the lift’s design is its 6,200mm long platform, which provides a low drive-on height of 240mm – accommodating every vehicle in DPD’s fleet.
“The Stertil Koni vehicle lifts are extremely reliable in supporting our 24/7 workshop operation,” comments Davey.
“I specified the lifts based on their proven technology and their design, which is advanced yet simple enough to be reliable in use,” he continues.
“I could have bought cheaper but, on inspection, the other products were cheaper for a reason, generally inferior build quality and robustness.”
To complement the ST4175 lifts and further simplify their operation, Stertil Koni also supplied LED lighting kits, air installation kits and 12 tonne jacking beams.
