Lifting equipment is a vital and permanent fixture in most busy workshops, so it's important to make the right choice in terms of both safety and practicality. The selection of fixed lifts currently available on the market tailor to a wide range of needs for both light and heavy commercial fleets. Whether your vehicle weighs in at five tonnes or fifty, there’s a selection to choose from, be it two-post, four-post, in-ground, scissor or parallelogram. This week, we present an assortment of the options available.

5.4 tonne capacity with
electro-hydraulic lifts from Rotary

Rotary Lift’s SPOA54 two-post lift, with a load bearing capacity of up to 5.4 tonnes, is an efficient and practical solution for lifting light-duty commercial vehicles. 

The non-load bearing cables ensure even lifting and lowering, whilst an upper limit bar prevents the vehicle from being lifted too high, protecting taller vehicles from damage.

Each lifting column on E-models have been equipped with their own control unit for ease of use. The electro-hydraulic design provides for low noise and effective work, while the base frame free design prevents tripping and reduces installation cost. 

The lift also comes equipped with a mechanical safety latch on both columns, locking the lift carriage in position in emergencies and thus ensuring maximum safety.

 




 

STUARTS VOLVO OPTS FOR GALVANISED VEHICLE LIFT FROM STERTIL KONI

West Country Volvo expert Stuart’s Truck and Bus has added to its collection of Stertil Koni lifting equipment with the purchase of a new Vega 450 45-tonne lift.

All Vega lifts are electro-hydraulic parallelogram units, suitable for lifting any type of heavy-duty vehicle with an even load distribution on to the ground. Capacities range from 12 to 52 tonnes and even more on specific request. The 45-tonne model purchased by Stuart’s provides the added advantage of being able to lift fully-laden vehicles which, on occasions, can be a real time saver. 

“Our experience of Stertil had all been positive,” comments Troy Stuart, “So it was natural that we should approach them when an additional lift was needed. The quality of their products is second to none.”
