Heavy-duty vehicles need reliable lifting equipment for regular servicing and repairs. For truck, bus and fleet workshops, the right vehicle lift can make maintenance work easier and provide better access underneath vehicles.
Stertil-Koni specialises in lifting systems for heavy-duty vehicles. As a Stertil-Koni distributor in Singapore, Alniff Industries supplies solutions such as the Stertil-Koni Mobile Column Hoist and SKYLIFT. Both systems help workshops handle large vehicles, but each offers different benefits depending on the workshop layout and maintenance needs.
Stertil-Koni Mobile Column Hoist for Flexible Vehicle Lifting
The Stertil-Koni Mobile Column Hoist gives workshops greater flexibility when lifting heavy-duty vehicles. Unlike fixed vehicle lifts, mobile columns can be moved and positioned to suit different vehicles and jobs.
These lifts can handle trucks, buses, fire engines, agricultural vehicles and other large commercial vehicles. Depending on the model, each column can lift up to 17,500 kg. Workshops can also connect multiple columns to lift heavier vehicles.
One major advantage is the flexible setup. Workshops can choose the number of columns to match the vehicle and lifting requirements. Wireless models remove the need for cables between columns, helping to keep the workshop floor clear and reducing trip hazards.
The mobile design also helps workshops make better use of their available space. Staff can move the columns when needed, making them suitable for facilities that handle different vehicle types. Mobile column lifts also avoid the need for a permanent pit or extensive civil construction.
Stertil-Koni SKYLIFT for Heavy Duty Vehicles
The Stertil-Koni SKYLIFT offers another option for workshops that service heavy-duty vehicles. This platform lift uses a hydraulic system that raises vehicles vertically, leaving a clear working area around and underneath them.
Unlike some traditional lifting systems, SKYLIFT does not need crossbeams beneath the platforms. This gives mechanics more room to carry out inspections, servicing and repairs. Workshops can also choose surface-mounted or flush-mounted installation to suit their layout.
SKYLIFT suits a range of large vehicles, including buses and articulated vehicles. Depending on the configuration, the system offers lifting capacities from 20,000 kg to 70,000 kg, with different platform lengths to meet workshop requirements.
For longer vehicles, workshops can use two SKYLIFT units in a tandem configuration. The synchronised systems can lift particularly long vehicles, giving mechanics access without necessarily separating the trailer or other connected equipment.
Comparing the Mobile Column Hoist and SKYLIFT
Both systems lift heavy-duty vehicles, but they suit different workshop needs.
The Mobile Column Hoist works well for workshops that handle a mixed fleet or need to move lifting equipment between work areas. Its adjustable setup gives operators more flexibility when servicing different vehicles.
SKYLIFT suits workshops that prefer a platform-based lifting system. Its open working area gives mechanics convenient access underneath vehicles during maintenance and repairs.
Safety also plays an important role in choosing the right lift. Stertil-Koni mobile column lifts include features such as mechanical locking, overload protection and synchronised lifting. SKYLIFT also uses mechanical locking, overload protection and synchronisation systems.
When choosing between the two, consider the vehicles you service, their weight, the available floor space and the type of maintenance work your team performs.
