Southwest Lift & Equipment Inc., an exclusive distributor of Stertil-Koni, announced that to fully address growing customer demand for its lifting systems and attendant service capabilities, it has opened a new, dedicated sales, service, and warehouse facility in Queen Creek, Arizona.

The new facility complements Southwest Lift & Equipment’s long-standing headquarters location in San Bernardino, California.

Headed by its President, CEO, and recognized vehicle lift expert, Dean McDonald, Southwest Lift & Equipment has established a well-earned reputation for providing exceptional customer support in all aspects of vehicle lift selection, installation, and service.

“We are proud to offer our customers – which include public transit agencies, municipalities, pupil transportation providers, private trucking fleets, utilities, and others – with the broadest range of high performance, durable, and safe heavy duty vehicle lifting systems available anywhere,” McDonald said.

The new Arizona location will offer customers the entire portfolio of Stertil-Koni’s products including the telescopic piston DIAMONDLIFT, scissor-style ECOLIFT, full vertical rise platform SKYLIFT, Mobile Column Lifts, and a line of shop equipment engineered for safety, performance, and productivity.

At the core of Southwest Lift & Equipment’s growth has been its focus on customer support and service. “To serve new and existing customers in Southern California and Arizona, we are extremely proud to have on staff five ALI Certified Lift Inspectors – each of whom has successfully completed the rigorous training and practical experience required to achieve this acclaimed level of lift expertise as certified by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI),” McDonald said.
