Stertil Koni is helping to keep one company very much on the road. CVW reports.
Ever wondered who paints those white lines and other road markings? Well, meet Kelly Brothers whose claim to fame is that it provides a complete approach to road safety. With over 50 years’ experience it has, over that time, refined a unique process to manufacture and apply road marking and anti-skid products. Its sustainable manufacturing plant produces in excess of 300 tonnes of material per day, which is complemented by a fully trained and experienced contracting and surveying team working across Ireland and the UK. Not surprisingly the company is committed to making roads safer for everyone.
That commitment is backed up by a varied fleet of light and heavy-duty vehicles that need to be maintained on a regular basis. The ease of use, technological advancements and manoeuvrability of the Stertil Koni wireless mobile column lifts made them the ideal choice for Kelly Brothers in this scenario.
Battery benefits
Each set of lifts, type ST1075FWA, comprises four wireless mobile columns, each offering a lifting capacity of 7.5 tonnes thereby providing an overall safe lifting capacity of 30 tonnes. Each column incorporates Stertil Koni’s revolutionary e-bright smart control system which allows workshop engineers to operate the columns individually, in pairs or in any other combination from any column in the set.
The Stertil Koni ST1075FWA heavy-duty lift is powered by long-life deep cycle batteries which provide optimum performance for at least a week on average before recharging is necessary. Also, battery life is prolonged because, unlike a screwlift, power is only used to raise a vehicle therefore less time is spent recharging the lift – charging is carried out via a 230v single phase supply. Importantly, with no cables on the workshop floor, the risk of tripping is removed, providing valuable health and safety benefits.
Featuring full-colour touch screen consoles, the ebright smart control system has been designed and developed to simplify operation by providing maximum visual information about every lifting operation – all at the fingertips of the workshop engineers.
