On Feb. 2, Stertil-Koni announced that it has incorporated its advanced, full-color, touch-screen control console – known as the ebright Smart Control System – into the company’s highly acclaimed full vertical rise platform SKYLIFT.
In that way, the real-time operation and monitoring of the SKYLIFT is even easier – placing all critical information directly at the fingertips of the person who needs it most – the busy technician on the shop floor.
First deployed on Stertil-Koni Mobile Column Lifts in 2015, and subsequently rolled out to the company’s inground scissor-style ECOLIFT and telescopic piston DIAMONDLIFT in 2017, the enhanced ebright Smart Control System provides intuitive ease-of-use, maximum visual information about the entire lifting process – all in an elegant, notepad-style presentation.
The eBright Smart Control System offers:
- A high resolution 7" full-color touchscreen
- User-friendly intuitive visual controls
- Simultaneous control for standard and tandem SKYLIFT configurations
- Diagnostic information about the SKYLIFT
- Owner/user-configurable options, including choice of language
- Presentation of all relevant information at a glance
- Ability to operate even while wearing gloves
In making the announcement, Stertil-Koni president, Jean DellAmore noted, “Stertil-Koni is dedicated to delivering the very best in heavy-duty lifting systems that are dependable, durable, safe and intuitive to use. The inclusion of the eBright Control System on the SKYLIFT brings the very best in touch-screen controls, combined with real-time lift information, to even more heavy duty fleet maintenance shops across North America – and we are extremely proud to achieve this milestone for our customers.”
From a broader perspective, the Stertil-Koni SKYLIFT is recognized as a superior heavy duty platform lift that uniquely provides a “clear floor” concept for the user with a true, vertical rise. The product’s elegant design includes two independent runways, vertical lifting, no crossbeams, no overhang and no base frame – thus delivering free access to the vehicle from all sides. It also features an ultra-safe mechanical locking system as standard and an automatic safeguard against overloading or uncontrolled descent. SKYLIFT is available in a flush or surface mounted model.
