Screven County School System selects Stertil-Koni Diamond Lift for new maintenance facility

March 16, 2015
The Diamond Lift is a high-pressure, telescopic in-ground piston lift manufactured in Streator, Ill., with a capacity of 64,000 lbs for a two-piston configuration or 96,000 lbs, for a three-piston model.

Stertil-Koni announced that the Screven County School System in eastern Georgia has selected the company’s Diamond Lift system for use in its recently completed, state-of-the-art school bus maintenance facility.

This new service center, located in Sylvania, Ga., is critical to supporting a fleet of nearly 50 school buses, which in turn travel a combined average of more than 1,400 miles daily and transport approximately 2,600 students.

As part of the process in selecting a heavy duty lifting system, Screven was looking for a vehicle lift that is safe, reliable, flexible and convenient for its techs to use. The Diamond Lift is a high-pressure, telescopic in-ground piston lift manufactured in Streator, Ill., with a capacity of 64,000 lbs for a two-piston configuration or 96,000 lbs, for a three-piston model.

According to Brett Martin, director of operations for Screven County School System, “The Diamond Lift was chosen by Screven County School in part because it provides wheels-free access and doesn’t require additional accessories to perform various service tasks.”

It also features an automatic wheelbase positioning system that enables users to program up to 16 unique vehicle wheelbases into the lift’s memory, thereby enabling adjustments through the touch of a screen.

Added Martin, “The Diamond Lift delivers quick, wheels-free access to the vehicles we are servicing, and that makes routine maintenance, such as servicing brake systems, much easier to complete.”

Bringing the new technology to Screven County School System was Heavy Duty Lift and Equipment, Inc. (HDLE), a Stertil-Koni distributor located in Buford, Ga., that sold and installed the lift. Noted Ian Merrow, sales representative for HDLE, “The Diamond Lift system provides a modern, efficient and safe approach to servicing heavy duty vehicles of all types. It is an ideal choice for the people of Screven and their new facility.”

“The growing success of the Diamond Lift is a testament to our customer-centric approach, which always places customer needs above all else and drives us to continuously deliver the broadest range of high quality, heavy duty lifting systems on the market," said Dr. Jean DellAmore, president of Stertil-Koni. "We are delighted that the Diamond Lift is proving to be a terrific performer for Screven County School System.”
