Stertil Koni aids wheel alignment for LCVs
Heavy-duty vehicle lifting equipment manufacturer Stertil Koni also provides lifting solutions to workshops specialising in lighter vehicles, including vans and cars. One example is the company’s four-post wheel alignment lifts, which it says continue to attract interest from garages throughout the UK.
The four-tonne capacity Stertil Koni ST 4040WA lift has been designed to simplify the checking and adjustment of wheel alignment or tracking on vans and cars.
Each lift features slip plates and turntables integrated within the two load bearing platforms. The combination of these devices ensures controlled movement of vehicles’ wheels to allow precise measurement and adjustment, says the company.
Available in four variants, the Stertil Koni ST 4040WA wheel alignment lift offers a choice of platform lengths and widths to suit the broadest range of vans and cars with wheelbases from 1800mm to 4500mm. The lift provides a low drive-on height of 190mm and long drive-on ramps that ensure a safe drive-on angle of 7°.
The ST 4040WA lift is electrohydraulically powered and operated by a simple push button control panel mounted on one of the lift’s posts.
Providing fast and smooth movement, the 4-post lift offers a maximum raised height of 2000mm to ensure comfortable working and unobstructed accessibility beneath raised vehicles, says Stertil Koni; the lift remains perfectly horizontal in every locked position, and the absence of protruding edges on the platforms contributes to workshop safety.
“As a company, we have earned an enviable reputation over many years for our extensive range of heavy duty commercial vehicle lifts,” said Tony Edge, general manager of Stertil Koni.
“However, this success has tended to overshadow our experience and technical expertise in providing lifting solutions to workshops specialising in lighter vehicles such as cars and vans.
“Our ST 4040WA wheel alignment lift is a typical example of a proven product that continues to attract new and existing customers throughout the UK.”
