Stertil-Koni takes top slot

Stertil-Koni, the leader in heavy duty vehicle lifts – serving municipalities, transit agencies and corporate fleets throughout North America, as well as the U.S. Government – recently announced that it has taken the lead in terms of the total number of ALI/ETL certified heavy-duty lifting products.

Significantly, every Stertil-Koni vehicle lift model currently in production and previously certified under the old standard ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2006 has now been recertified to the new ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011 standard. Upon reaching this milestone, Stertil-Koni company president, Dr. Jean DellAmore, says “Stertil-Koni is extremely proud of the fact that we have more heavy-duty certified products than any other member of the ALI organisation.”

Concurrent with this development, Stertil-Koni is also recognized as the fastest growing heavy-duty lift company in North America and continues to establish new, all-time records in terms of sales performance and market penetration. StertilKoni’s growth is in part the result of a commitment to fulfilling the rigorous requirements of third party certification by a Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratory (NRTL), as exemplified by the ALI testing program.”

Certification is a process whereby an independent NRTL determines that a manufacturer has the ability to produce a product that complies with a specific set of standards – in this instance ALCTV-2011, UL201 and CAN 2.22 Part 68. Certification further authorizes the manufacturer to use the NRTL’s controlled Gold Label on listed products representing the certified models. Certified products undergo periodic re-evaluation and are required to be produced within the requirements of a documented quality programme. In the case of heavy duty vehicle lifts, the programme is audited quarterly to ensure continued compliance with the applicable standards.

This is what occurred recently when Stertil-Koni achieved ALI/ETL certification of several new products and recertification of its former products.

The new products include a range of heavy duty in-ground lifting systems as well as the company’s new series of heavy-duty two-post lifts, Freedom Lift, with capacities of 7,257kgs, 9,072kgs, 11,793kgs, and 13,607kgs. respectively. Stertil-Koni also achieved re-testing which established capacities on the platform lifts (Skylift) 28,304kg and 35,380kg. Stertil-Koni enjoys the broadest number of ALI/ETL certified heavy duty mobile column lifts in various capacities, including 7,484kg (per column), 8,165kg and 9,979kgs.

Stertil-Koni is a leader in heavy duty vehicle lifts – bus lifts and truck lifts. Its breadth of products meets all ranges of lifting needs and includes mobile column lifts, two-post, fourpost, in-ground piston lifts, platform lifts, half-scissors and its innovative axle-engaging, in-ground, scissor lift configuration, Ecolift.
