STEVENSVILLE, Md. — Stertil-Koni USA launched Vehicle Lift Connection, a new blog that features tips, tricks, product updates, news, features, interviews and other valuable content focusing on the heavy duty vehicle lift community.

Located at www.VehicleLiftConnection.com, the blog is designed to become the go-to source for useful and engaging information for anyone who works on heavy duty vehicles, company officials said.

One of the first posts on the blog explores five tips for safely operating vehicle lifts in a shop environment. Topics covered include proper stability and positioning, pre-lift checks, safe operation, security and maintenance.

Another post on Vehicle Lift Connection is an in-depth look at new developments surrounding in-ground piston lifting technologies, with a focus on the Diamond Lift, Stertil-Koni's in-ground telescopic piston lift. In an interview in the post, Matthias Lennemann, Stertil-Koni USA’s sales manager for heavy duty in-ground lifts, explains how the Diamond Lift helps customers save time and money and operate their shops more safely and efficiently.

"We are pleased to announce the kickoff of Stertil-Koni USA's official blog,” said Dr. Jean DellAmore, president of Stertil-Koni USA. “In the coming months, readers will learn more about the people and products behind Stertil-Koni and will get a chance to interact with us, not only as customers but as friends."

Future posts on Vehicle Lift Connection will share additional best practices and helpful information for the heavy duty vehicle lift industry. Updates will also connect Stertil-Koni's customers to the talented men and women who serve them every day on the company's staff.

"We are a committed and passionate group and we truly believe that our life’s work is to create exceptional, safe and environmentally friendly lifting products so that mechanics can safely lift the vehicles they work underneath every single day," DellAmore added. "In my long career I have never worked with a group of more dedicated people than the folks who work for Stertil-Koni."
