VR participants can also get up close to the Diamondlift's additional features, such as the wide-variety of adapters that make lifting vehicles so much easier.
In addition, viewers can explore the Stertil-Koni Skylift, a heavy-duty platform lift that provides a “clear floor” concept for the end-user with a true, vertical rise. This product’s distinctive design includes two independent runways and no crossbeams, overhang or base frame. VR spectators can venture along the Skylift's Wash Bay model, which is fully water resistant and features hot tip galvanized platforms, ideal for cleaning the exterior and undercarriages of large vehicles.
