• The Tamworth, Staffordshire workshops of J Roberts (SIN), heavy-duty truck refurbisher, is putting a 14-tonne Stertil-Koni hydraulic lift to good use.
J Roberts handles six-wheeldrive trucks, mainly Magirus Deutz. Once it has refurbished chassis and engine, the trucks go to bodybuilders to be fitted with a variety of bodies such as gritters, mobile drilling rigs and tippers. They then return to Roberts' workshop for after body inspection as well as readjustment of clutch and brakes before delivery. "It is at this stage that the fourpost Stertil-Koni lift is of great value," says technical sales manager Andy Smith.
The hydraulically-operated two and four-post Stertil-Koni lifts are available in five sizes from 2.2 to 20 tonnes from HTC (Nottingham).
