Stertil-Koni announced that Professional Auto Transport, a premier car haul carrier serving the western region of the U.S., has selected two of the company’s larger capacity, heavy duty vehicle lifting systems for the transporter’s new, state-of-the-art 14,000-square foot maintenance facility.
The new center, located in Mira Loma, Calif., has been designed by Professional Auto Transport to service a fleet of 130 trucks, which in turn haul up to 30,000 vehicles each month to locations throughout California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah.
“Maintenance is a key driver in our success," explained Dave Floyd, president of Professional Auto Transport. "So, to better manage these costs, ensure the highest levels of safety for our technicians and to reduce vehicle downtime, we’ve brought the process in-house.”
“In deciding which vehicle lifts to buy, we were focused on safety and quality. That’s why we chose Stertil-Koni,” continued Floyd.
For its facility, Professional Auto Transport selected the Stertil-Koni Ecolift 90 and the Stertil-Koni Skylift in a tandem configuration.
Southwest Lift and Equipment, a Stertil-Koni distributor specializing in heavy duty transit, bus, and trucking facilities, sold the lifts and managed the entire installation process.
Dean McDonald, president of Southwest Lift and Equipment explained, “We are the exclusive dealer for Stertil-Koni covering the regions of southern California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. In terms of Professional Auto Transport, the facility is first-class and the lifts selected are engineered to help provide safety, speed, flexibility and efficiency in the service and maintenance of their fleet.”
“We exclusively specialize in heavy duty lifting, and it is extremely gratifying to see how our lifts can support a company such as Professional Auto Transport in terms of streamlining their maintenance operations while ensuring the highest levels of safety and customer support,” said Stertil-Koni president Dr. Jean DellAmore.
