There are tens of thousands of pits situated throughout America's heavy-duty maintenance shops. Most if not all of these pits do not have the proper means to allow mechanics to safely remove various sub-chassis components including transmissions, axles, exhaust, etc. This leads to a situation where the pits are rendered virtually useless other than facilitating oil changes.
Now, for the first time in the history of pit technology Stertil KONI has developed a ROLLING PIT JACK with a capacity of 31,000 lbs. This rolling pit jack is designed to safely operate on pit floor surfaces, thereby not depending on pit edges which are often not reinforced or sufficiently strong.
The features of the new Stertil KONI Model RPJ-3.31 include:
Capacity: 31,000 lbs. (necessary to allow lifting even the vehicle itself)
Durability: both the piston rod and the pump piston are hard-chrome plated for the best protection against corrosion and water.
Fully hydraulic lifting unit: during every lifting and lowering movement, the cylinder is submerged in oil protecting the complete cylinder against corrosion.
Foot pedal protection: the floor running pit jacks are operated by foot pedals, requiring minimum effort. This leaves the hands free for working on the vehicle or manipulation of other tools.
Safety: the carriage of the Rolling Pit Jack is automatically lowered when handling loads of 1 ton or more. The integral locking brakes guarantees maximum stability.
Time-saving: the hydro-pneumatic quick lift rapidly moves the piston rod to the appropriate lifting point. In addition, the hydro-pneumatic forced return rapidly retracts the piston even when off-load. Effectively, the piston is "pulled" back into its rest position.
The ROLLING PIT JACK is now available from Stertil-KONI's exclusive distributor network. Contact your local Stertil-KONI distributor for availability and ordering information.
