STEVENSVILLE, Md. — Stertil-Koni has addressed increasing safety concerns that have spurred new engineering approaches at vehicle maintenance facilities with its recently introduced Diamond Lift, a heavy duty in-ground telescopic piston lift.
Vehicle maintenance facilities across North America are increasingly mandating approaches to their in-ground vehicle lifting systems that more fully address safety, structural and long-term maintenance concerns experienced with traditional in-ground lifting systems, according to a recent industry overview conducted by Stertil-Koni.
“When customers make large capital expenditures for new or retrofitted facilities, beyond lift performance, they want to make certain that the new designs employed minimize corrosion problems associated with lift floor frames, reduce maintenance costs, and that the new lift pit covering systems are flush and load-bearing, thereby reducing potential hazards to the lift operator on the shop floor,” said Peter Bowers, technical sales manager for Stertil-Koni.
Historically, some traditional in-ground lift floor frames corroded over time, at which point the corrosion expanded and literally pushed the floor frame out of the concrete vault, which houses the lifting system, according to Stertil-Koni.
“In those circumstances, the lift could become unsafe and unusable,” Bowers added.
As seen in a new video, shown below, the Diamond Lift delivered an enhanced engineering concept to the heavy duty in-ground lifting arena, according to the supplier.
