In a busy workshop, there is always a lot of activity; meaning you need versatility, reliability, and maximum safety features in all of your chosen equipment.

You need to know that you can trust your tools, so productivity meets demand when the pressure is on.
For a workshop to thrive, you must be versatile enough to work on all types of vehicles, big and small, heavy or light. Heavy vehicle mobile column lifts ensure that you are always prepared for whatever drives in your door.
What is a Mobile Column Lift?
Stertil-Koni offers superior solutions for heavy-duty lifting requirements, including their range of mobile column lifts.
Unlike fixed platform, scissor lifts or inground mounted lifts, a mobile column lift is a single column hoist that can be moved around the workshop thanks to their synthetic wheels and hydraulic pallet truck mechanism – but perhaps most importantly – be connected to other mobile column lifts to create a fully customised lifting solution.
The size of the vehicle to be lifted (and your workshop layout) will determine how many columns you need to complete your lift. One of the exciting features of the Stertil-Koni mobile column lifts range is that you can synchronise up to 32 individual columns.
Depending on your chosen model, each mobile column has a lifting capacity of either 7.5 tons, 8.5 tons or 10 tons. In a setup with 32 columns, this could give you a total lifting capacity of 320 tons. That’s a whole lot of vehicle!
Wireless vs Cabled Models
If your workshop space is tight and doesn’t offer much flexibility, a set-up that is plugged into mains power with extra strong drive-over cables may the appropriate solution. All interconnection cables are equipped with heavy-duty plugs at either end for maximum safety.
In workshops where your hoist set up needs to be moved around regularly, you may opt to fit out with a wireless version to avoid wasting time connecting and moving cables. This option also reduces trip hazards in your workshop.
A wireless mobile column lift setup offers great flexibility, and, in most cases, they are equipped with special deep cycle batteries that only need to be recharged fortnightly.
Sustainable Options
The Stertil-Koni range also includes the EARTHLIFT, which has been recognised as “the most environmentally-friendly wireless mobile column lift in the world”.
Several features make the EARTHLIFT a socially responsible choice for workshops, but the key is its patented Active Energy Retrieval System.
In a nutshell, the system uses the energy generated by the raised vehicle as it comes back down, i.e., it regains the gravitational energy. This translates to 50 full lifting cycles before needing to recharge batteries – less downtime for battery charging = optimum workshop productivity.
Control at Your Fingertips
All Stertil-Koni heavy vehicle mobile column lifts feature the intuitive touch screen ebright Smart Control System. Every aspect of your lift is always accessible right at your fingertips.
The ebright Smart Control System is the most user-friendly and technologically advanced controller on the market. Warning, failure and maintenance notifications are clearly displayed on the full-colour high resolution 7” screen that is a dream to operate. And, by the way, the touch screen even works when wearing gloves!
