Previously reliant on a fixed platform lift, the team at Halesworth sought a more flexible solution to keep pace with their evolving workload. By investing in Stertil-Koni’s powerful ST1075FSA mobile columns, Econ has gained the freedom to easily adapt its workshop layout for different vehicles and servicing tasks, while enhancing overall safety for their technicians.
Built for demanding daily use, each mobile column offers a robust 7.5-tonne lifting capacity, combining for an impressive 30 tonnes overall – ideal for Econ’s heavy-duty gritters, de-icers, snow ploughs, and highway maintenance vehicles. The ability to safely and efficiently lift these vehicles ensures quicker turnaround times, helping to keep essential services moving through even the toughest conditions.
One of the key advantages for Econ’s technicians is Stertil-Koni’s ebright Smart Control System. Featuring intuitive touch-screen operation, the ebright system allows the lifts to be controlled individually or in unison, streamlining the servicing process and minimising downtime.
Safety and reliability are at the heart of the ST1075FSA design. Each column features an independent mechanical locking system and precision synchronisation technology to ensure smooth, accurate lifting at all times. With a rapid lifting speed of just 75 seconds to a height of 1.85 metres, technicians can complete tasks faster without compromising on safety.
The cabled mobile columns are powered by a standard 415V supply and use heavy-duty communication cables to guarantee strong, consistent connectivity. Practical design features, including synthetic runner wheels and an integrated hydraulic pallet truck mechanism, make repositioning the columns quick and effortless.
Econ Engineering’s investment in Stertil-Koni’s mobile column lifts underlines their commitment to providing safe, high-quality vehicle maintenance services - ultimately keeping roads safe and operational during cold weather and throughout the rest of the year.
