Stertil-Koni, a heavy-duty lift provider, released its new Earthlift Wireless Mobile Column Lift.

The Earthlift has no connecting cables or wires for technicians to deal with. The lift also feature a variable speed controller, and a graphical user interface that digitally displays lift speed, the weight bearing on the individual column, battery charge level, lift direction, lift extension measurement and more.

A self-regenerating power supply significantly increases productivity by reducing the time a lift spends charging.

The Earthlift's patented Active Energy Retrieval System captures the kinetic energy generated by a raised vehicle as it descends on the lift and uses it to recharge its own batteries. The AER allows the lift to provide 27 lifting cycles under a full load, 35% more, than other systems.

Columns can be operated independently and up to eight Earthlifts can be wirelessly linked using Stertil-Koni's ID Key technology. Once linked, the multiple lifts function as one system that delivers safe, smooth control even when load distribution is unbalanced.

The Earthlift's variable speed control allows the operator to adjust vehicle height with pinpoint accuracy, allowing procedures like a gearbox replacement to be undertaken with ease. Programming options also enable users to adjust the maximum lifting height and to perform on-demand fault diagnoses.

The lift has an 18,000-pound load capacity and comes with 14-inch pick-up forks standard, allowing it to safely accommodate super-single and military tires, according to the tire manufacturer's instructions. The lift is designed to provide a 10-inch clearance between the column and the vehicle, preventing contact in the event of an on-lift tire or suspension failure.

The Earthlift's components are 98% recyclable, its closed hydraulic system uses biodegradable Panolin oil, its electrical system complies with RoHs directives and its deep-cycle marine batteries can be completely recycled.

The Earthlift Wireless Mobile Column Lift is certified by the Automotive Lift Institute Inc. (ALI) and the Electrical Testing Laboratories. ALI is an ANSI Accredited Certification Program Sponsor originally founded in 1945. ALI continues to maintain lift safety as its primary activity.
