STEVENSVILLE, Md. — Stertil-Koni on Thursday announced the North American rollout of the company’s new ST 1064, a high-performance, lower-capacity hydraulic mobile column lift.

The lift has a capacity of 14,000 lbs. per column, or 56,000 lbs. for a set of four. According to Stertil-Koni, the new offering was developed for commercial vehicle maintenance facilities of all types that are seeking a full-featured mobile column lifting system with slightly reduced lifting capacity.

Modeled after the company’s ST 1075 (capacity of 16,500 lbs. per column), the ST 1064 is available in three models:

1. Cables with three-phase power (208/220/460V) connecting columns;
2. Battery operated (two 12-volt batteries per column) with wires connecting columns; and
3. Totally wireless (no cables or wires).

Each of the three models is equipped with the ebright Smart Control System as standard. It utilizes a 7-inch color monitor to present relevant operating information at a glance and features a touch pad to configure options, such as language, as well as an ID key to prevent unauthorized operation.

According to Stertil-Koni, the ST 1064 is manufactured with high-quality, high-tensile DOMEX steel for maximum strength. The lift has a mechanical locking system for added safety that starts at 18.25 inches above floor height and continues up the entire length of the lift every 1-3/8th inches.

The ST 1064 reportedly takes 70 seconds (VAC-3 phase) to reach its maximum lifting height of 73 inches.

“With the debut of the ST 1064, we are responding to the industry’s request for a robust, flexible, full-featured vehicle lifting system with slightly lower capacity and a comparably reduced cost structure,” Stertil-Koni President Dr. Jean DellAmore said. “This highly portable hydraulic lift can safely and efficiently hoist virtually any heavy duty vehicle by its tires and operates on any level floor, indoors or outside.”

The ST 1064–FMA operates via a three-phase 208-180 VAC or single-phase 220 VAC. The ST 1064-FBA is battery operated, and the ST 1064-FWA is wireless.
