Stertil-Koni installed a four-post Stertil-Koni ST 4600 with a capacity of 132,000 lbs.—the largest platform lift of its type in North America, according to the company.
The ALI/ETL-certified lift was installed in a public works facility in Jersey City, N.J., where it will be used by technicians who service fire rescue equipment and other large, heavy-duty vehicles.
“We are excited to complete the installation of the ST 4600. It’s an awesome piece of equipment,” said Matthew Morgan of Hoffmann Services, a Stertil-Koni distributor that quarterbacked the project.
“There are only a handful of lifts like it on the planet, and by installing the first one in North America, we are opening up a new market,” Morgan added. “For customers that need a large capacity, the ST 4600 proves that it works.”
To facilitate the installation process, Morgan and others on the team personally observed the lift being constructed in a Stertil-Koni factory. In addition, because this lift was installed level with the ground, it was recessed into a pit by 14 inches. That required the use of a crane.
“It was a precision installation that took the better part of four days,” said Morgan.
The lift also features an internal air-line kit and jacking beams that lift axles off the runways.
