The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) recently partnered with Stertil-Koni to incorporate vehicle lifts as part of its preparation to welcome an era of bus rapid transit (BRT).
As part of the process, MCTS purchased 14 Stertil-Koni inground telescopic piston DIAMONDLIFTs and 16 Mobile Column Lifts from Stertil-Koni’s exclusive distributor in the region, Midwest Equipment Specialists.
“Our mission is to provide premium transit service to a large and diverse community in a safe and timely manner, and Stertil-Koni is the perfect partner for us,” said Dwyane Reese, MCTS deputy director for Maintenance. “Anything we ask for they deliver with great professionalism, Johnny-on-the-spot, and we’ve built great trust -- which is so important. We talk to other transit agencies about the latest equipment and are familiar with what’s available in the market. Based upon our experience, we recommend Stertil-Koni as a partner in transit.”
