‘Jay Leno’s Garage’ showcases Stertil-Koni Earthlift Mobile Columns
Heavy duty vehicle lifts from industry leader Stertil-Koni were recently featured on the TV show, Jay Leno's Garage, which is broadcast on CNBC and is also available online.
Leno is recognized worldwide as a prominent TV celebrity, talk show host and comedian who is passionate about getting under the hood of, and behind the wheels of, classic and modern vehicles.
Leno noted that Stertil-Koni’s vehicle lifts catch the eye of many a visitor to his Burbank, California garage. In the episode dubbed “1,000 HP 'Vicious' 1965 Ford Mustang,” he tells Jason Pecikonis of Timeless Kustoms, as they stroll under the restored sports car, “whenever guys come into the shop, they are not impressed by what we are working on, they are impressed by these lifts.”
In the show, Leno uses a set of four Stertil-Koni Earthliftss to raise a classic car. Recognized as the industry’s first “green” mobile column lift, Earthlift has columns that are made from components that are 98 percent recyclable, uses bio-degradable oil, features batteries that are 100 percent recyclable, and employs an Active Energy Retrieval System delivering 35 percent more lifting cycles at maximum load.
As a dedicated vehicle enthusiast and knowledgeable technician, Leno explores the very latest in vehicle servicing and restoration techniques in his Emmy-award winning program, Jay Leno’s Garage. The show first aired in October 2015 and features all types of motor vehicles – sporty, classic, restored, vintage cars, trucks and motorcycles.
“We’re big fans of Jay, greatly appreciate his kind words and absolutely love to see our lifts in action – contributing to the efficiency of his facility and making such a big impact on his viewers,” Jean DellAmore, president of Stertil-Koni, said.
This is the second time Stertil-Koni lifts have been featured on the automotive showcase. Another segment of Jay Leno’s Garage featured Leno and a sales manager from Stertil-Koni. Then, the topic was the installation of a frictionless induction braking system in a restored 1941 American LaFrance Fire Truck.
