As part of the recent upgrading of its Swansea depot, Edwards Coaches decided to replace its existing mechanical lifts with two sets of Stertil Koni’s ST1075FSF electro-hydraulic mobile column lifts.

Workshop engineers were said to be instantly impressed with the versatility and simple operation of the new 7.5 tonnes capacity lifts which, when used as a set of four, are able to safely handle vehicles weighing up to 30 tonnes. The company quickly ordered another two sets to support operations at its sister site in Llantwit Fardre, Pontypridd which recently opened a new VOSA-authorised MOT facility that has the capacity to test heavy goods vehicles and trailers, farm tractors, motor homes and other large road vehicles.

 

The ST1075FSF mobile column lifts feature a simple push button control box mounted on each of the columns. This allows an operator to control the operation of the lift from any one of the columns in the set.
