Euro Municipal boosts workshop efficiency with Stertil Koni

Refuse collection vehicle supplier Euro Municipal is reporting improved workshop safety and efficiency thanks to set of mobile column lifts from Stertil Koni.

The operator supplies used RCVs and now rental vehicles, all of which it maintains at its North Scarle site, near Lincoln.

Euro Municipal’s engineers now have a set of six Stertil Koni ST1075FSA lifts to lift tri-axle RCVs. Each lift is rated at 7.5 tonnes, giving a combined lifting capacity of 45 tonnes to ensure safety when dealing with the largest vehicles in the fleet.

Each of the electro-hydraulic mobile column lifts has a control box to allow engineers to operate the lifts individually, in pairs or all six simultaneously from any column in the set – delivering a maximum lifting height of 185mm in 75 seconds.

“Our workshop engineers were instantly impressed with the Stertil Koni lifts,” says Mark Forrester, managing director of Euro Municipal.

“Apart from their flexibility, the new mobile column lifts have made our maintenance and servicing operations easier, cleaner, more efficient and, most importantly, safer for our engineers.

“As the size of our refuse vehicle fleet continues to grow, so does the maintenance requirement and the Stertil Koni lifts are proving to be invaluable in ensuring that we meet the challenge.”
