Workshops across Australia are facing two big challenges right now: rising energy costs and increasing pressure to operate more sustainably. Whether you’re servicing buses, trucks, emergency vehicles, mining equipment or municipal fleets, how you power your workshop matters — not just for your bottom line, but for your environmental footprint too.
When it comes to heavy-duty vehicle lifts, standard technologies have traditionally relied on continual energy draw. While effective, these systems can waste a lot of potential power, especially during repeated cycles of lifting and lowering. That’s where Stertil Koni’s EARTHLIFT, expertly supplied across Australia by Genesis Equipment, changes the game.
At its core, EARTHLIFT is the world’s first truly regenerative mobile column lift — redefining what it means to lift heavy vehicles smarter and more sustainably. Unlike conventional lifts that draw energy for every movement, EARTHLIFT captures energy as the vehicle is lowered and stores it for the next lift cycle. This means less energy wasted and more power recovered — translating directly into reduced electricity consumption and fewer interruptions for recharge.
This patented regeneration process, known as the Active Energy Retrieval System (AERS), is what makes EARTHLIFT a standout choice for workshops that want high performance without high energy costs especially when it comes to heavy vehicle lifts. It’s an environmentally conscious engineering solution that supports both productivity and sustainability goals.
EARTHLIFT isn’t just about energy savings — it’s a fully featured mobile lifting system designed for modern heavy-vehicle maintenance needs:
Regenerative Power – Captures and reuses energy during every lowering cycle, reducing overall power usage significantly.
Wireless, Cable-Free Design – Improves safety and flexibility on the workshop floor by eliminating cables that can create trip hazards or require ongoing maintenance.
Long-Lasting Battery Performance – Up to 50 lifting cycles per charge, keeping downtime to a minimum.
eBright Smart Control System – A full-colour, intuitive touchscreen interface makes synchronising lifts and monitoring performance effortless.
Expandable & Flexible – Connect up to 32 mobile columns for lifting larger or multiple vehicles simultaneously — ideal for high-capacity workshops.
Durability & Sustainability – Built with recyclable materials and biodegradable hydraulic oil, plus 98% recyclability at end of life.
Industry-Class Safety – Includes independent mechanical locking and overload protection as standard.
Choosing EARTHLIFT isn’t just a technological upgrade — it’s a strategic decision that delivers tangible results:
Lower Operating Costs
By significantly reducing energy waste and the need for frequent battery charging, EARTHLIFT helps workshops control utility bills and cut down on unscheduled downtime.
Boosted Productivity
Fewer interruptions for recharging, faster lift setup, and cable-free mobility mean technicians can work smarter and get more done throughout the day.
Future-Ready Sustainability
With energy recovery, recyclable components, and biodegradable fluids, EARTHLIFT supports important environmental performance targets — whether set internally or by external regulations.
Enhanced Safety & Usability
Wireless operation and smart controls improve workshop safety while making lifts easier and more precise to operate.
If your workshop handles heavy vehicles regularly — from commercial fleets and logistics fleets to buses, caravan’s trucks and industrial machinery — the EARTHLIFT system offers a reliable, efficient, and forward-thinking solution. It delivers the robust performance you expect from Stertil Koni, backed by the Australian support and expertise of Genesis Equipment.
