Council chooses Stertil-Koni Skylift for workshop upgrade
02 October 2024
Dacorum Borough Council has significantly enhanced its vehicle maintenance capabilities with the installation of a heavy-duty SKYLIFT from Stertil-Koni at its Cupid Green Depot in Hemel Hempstead.
Facing the need to maximise workshop space while replacing an outdated 4-post lift, the Council chose the SKYLIFT, a scissor-lift system that offers a compact footprint. This not only creates more room within the workshop but also enhances efficiency and provides a safer, more comfortable working environment for the depot’s technicians.The depot opted for the SKY200 model, part of Stertil-Koni’s truck-lifting range, which boasts an impressive 20-tonne lifting capacity—ideal for accommodating the waste trucks regularly serviced at the facility.
To tailor the lift to their specific requirements, Dacorum Borough Council also opted for additional features, including an LED lighting kit to improve visibility under vehicles during inspections and maintenance. These upgrades ensure the technicians can work more safely and efficiently, reducing maintenance times and improving overall operational productivity.
With its 8-metre, flush-mounted platforms, the SKYLIFT allows for easy drive-on access, and lifts vehicles to a height of up to 1.75 metres, making it ideal for various tasks such as general maintenance, repairs, and wheel alignment checks. The lift's innovative design—featuring no base frame or cross beams, with only lifting legs at either end—allows for unrestricted access to the vehicle from all sides, an essential feature for the depot's wide-ranging servicing needs.
Safety is a paramount concern for both Dacorum Borough Council and Stertil-Koni, and the SKYLIFT delivers with an independent mechanical locking system starting at just 90mm above the floor. The lift also features individual measuring devices in each leg, ensuring smooth, level synchronisation within a 15mm tolerance, further boosting safety and operational precision.
To streamline operations even further, the SKYLIFT is equipped with Stertil-Koni’s patented eBright Smart Control System. This advanced control panel, featuring an intuitive touchscreen interface, provides the technicians with precise, user-friendly control over the lift, simplifying the process of raising and lowering vehicles and enhancing overall efficiency.
