This new surface-mounted lift is an addition to the council’s existing 25t 4-Post and 5.5t 2-Post Stertil-Koni vehicle lifts purchased in 2020.
The ST4250-8 features a crossbeam-free design and low drive-on height. While simplifying the positioning of low ground clearance vehicles, the design of the approach ramps enables them to automatically tuck in as the lift rises to create an obstruction-free area around the lifts. Also, the two platforms can be adjusted inwards to cater for vehicles with narrower axle widths thereby extending the working range of the lift.
A reliable hydraulic system is electronically controlled on both lift models to ensure smooth lifting and lowering cycles, even in the event of uneven load distribution. Other safety features include impact-resistant LED lights that switch on and off automatically just above floor level supported by an audible warning signal for foot-trap protection.
The patented mechanical locking system works independently of the lifting system and is permanently enabled. The mechanical locking, which is activated by gravity alone, is expected to guarantee safety alongside an integrated pressure-relief valve that prevents all four lifting columns from becoming overloaded.
Stertil-Koni’s ebright Smart Control System allows operation of the lift from a control box attached to one of the posts. Precise raising and lowering of vehicles is controlled by the patented eBright system, which features a touch-screen panel interface.
