Stertil-Koni, the worldwide market leader in heavy duty vehicle lifts, has been awarded the European Patent EP 2 038 201 B1 for its revolutionary SKYLIFT

KOOTSTERTILLE, FRIESLAND, NEDERLAND, June 30, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The patent has been issued by the European Patent Office
and covers the advanced process by which the Stertil-Koni
SKYLIFT is designed.
The Stertil-Koni SKYLIFT has an innovative Y-shaped
construction supporting the base plates diverting the forces as
effectively as possible. Conventionally built platform lifts often
have diverse assembly elements individually welded on the
underside of the carrier which can cause issues with alignment
due to the high vertical and horizontal forces.
The SKYLIFT has a relatively light-weight construction, is easy to install in commercial
vehicle workshops and offers maximum flexibility due to the innovative design.
The SKYLIFT construction offers many benefits; freedom of movement for the mechanic
under the platform; ease of operation with compact control box and self-diagnostics system;
increased safety with independent mechanical locking with raising only 90mm from floor level
and a built-in overload mechanism. The SKYLIFT can be extended with a special
synchronisation set between the two lifts, this allows up to 30 metres with a lifting capacity of
70 tonnes, meaning that the SKYLIFT has the flexibility to be used as a single long lift or two
individual lifts.
