Stertil Koni's development team has come up with a new anti-skid finish for commercial vehicle lifts. As well as adding the finish to new models, Stertil has ensured that it can be easily and quickly retro fitted to existing lifts - including other manufacturers' models.

The new anti-skid solution is suitable for platforms of all fixed commercial lifts and consists of aluminium diamond plates with a special adhesive. The plates are available in lengths of 1250mm and two different widths - 400mm and 600mm. The number of plates needed depends on the platform length of individual lifts but, as an example, a nine-metre platform lift would require 14 plates and take two people around an hour and a half to assemble.

Stertil Koni is widely acknowledged for the inherent safety of its lift design and its after-sales support and maintenance is second-to-none. All lifts are tested with 50,000 lifting cycles under full load, corresponding to at least 25 years' use under the heaviest conditions. The development of the anti-skid finish is another demonstration of Stertil's commitment to producing safe, efficient, reliable and long-lasting equipment of the highest standard.

Stertil Koni has spent more than 50 years designing vehicle lifts for intensive and problem-free use and its products are known for their long lifespan and high resale value. The company factory-trains its own engineers and keeps parts in stock for 25 years after production. Stertil Koni was the first lifting system manufacturer to be awarded ISO 9001 and is part of the Stertil Group.
