Lifting equipment manufacturer Stertil Koni has supplied a set of six ST1075 FSA mobile column lifts to refuse collection specialist Euro Municipal.
The operator supplies used and rental tri-axle refuse collection vehicles and maintains them at its site in North Scarle near Lincoln. Each of the electro-hydraulic mobile column lifts lift is rated at 7.5 tonnes, which provides a combined lifting capacity of 45 tonnes and a maximum lifting height of 185mm in 75 seconds.
They also include a control box mounted on each of the columns that gives workshop engineers the ability to operate the lifts individually, in pairs or all six simultaneously from any column in the set. Stertil Koni’s local distributor, Partic Motor Spares based in Nottingham, supplied the mobile column lifts.
Mark Forrester, MD of Euro Municipal, said: “Our workshop engineers were instantly impressed with the Stertil Koni lifts. Apart from their flexibility, the new mobile column lifts have made our maintenance and servicing operations easier, cleaner, more efficient and, most importantly, safer for our engineers.
“As the size of our refuse vehicle fleet continues to grow, so does the maintenance requirement. The Stertil Koni lifts are proving invaluable in ensuring we meet the challenge.”
