'A BIG Challenge'
This Challenger 2 weighing in at 64 tons was transported from Dorset to Birmingham with a few challenges along the way! Due to a long diversion route due to a road closure and the slow travelling speeds the journey took almost 8 hours to complete!
'Is this boring'
This massive part of a tunnel boring machine being delivered from Purfleet in to London weighed in at almost 100 tons. With a gross weight of over 130 tons it was a slow a careful journey. The load was safely delivered by Nugteren Transport BV, escorted by SB Services and Slims pilot cars
'Excess baggage'
These 3.8 metre wide ULD's were transported from Harwich to Heathrow with Slims pilot cars, We arrived to a waiting crane ready to offload them and begin their lives loading aircraft with their cargo.
'Come fly with me'
This huge jet engine was transported from Heathrow to Harwich to be shipped to its final destination of Frankfurt in Germany. We arrived early, assisted the driver to Load and sheet the engine for weather protection, then escorted him to the port ready to catch his ferry!
'A long day'
These 2 Gantry crane beams were transported into North West London for the HS2 Project. At over 30 metres long they presented some logistical challenges to get them to their final destination. We were assisted by the MET police CVU who were on hand to help us negotiate a one way system the wrong way to facilitate the delivery.
'Hot works'
Relocating a hot tub for a customer to make way for their new patio, once the patio was finished we returned and relocated the hot tub back on to their brand new patio, taking care to ensure no damage was done by protecting the area with wooden boards, another happy customer!
'Reach out'
Removing this hot tub from a garden with limited access, we called in the professionals David Watson Transport to assist us by lifting the hot tub out. Their crane, equipped with fly-jib which can reach an impressive 26m made easy work of it.
'That sinking feeling'
Assisting with an installation of pontoons in The Serpentine in Hyde Park ahead of the Triathlon. Always a pleasure to be working with our friends at Pontoon Provider.
'See Saw'
An interesting job we had the pleasure of assisting our friends at David Watson Transport with recently. The challenge was set, a 500kg Table saw needed to be delivered safely to a basement workshop.
Careful planning and calculations completed by the machinery division at DWT and the work could commence. Unfortunately taking the lift was not an option so we had to use this semi spiral staircase.
Job completed ahead of schedule and a 1 very happy customer received his new toy.
'Baby steps'
Working with Lance at David Watson Transport again on this rail project which involved safely transporting various parts of a new foot bridge to site.
Although the overall width of the load was reasonably narrow the length and height of the unit meant that the job required careful planning and execution to manoeuvre it through the rail depot and to the waiting crane.
The widest loads of the day coming in at just under 4m needed to wait their turn for the crane.
'Tanks a lot'
An interesting few days working with the specialist from David Watson Transport and Midland machinery on this project to relocate a timber treatment plant. Moving this monstrous treatment vessel required the use of 2 60/80 Versalifts to raise the estimate 50-60ton vessel enough to allow it to be loaded onto the wating truck.
Once loaded it was only a short hop to the new location, then reverse the process to unload the vessel. An efficient and meticulous approach saw this project completed ahead of schedule, with the team hardly breaking a sweat!
The last of the vessels to be moved by the team in just under 3 days.
'Rose between 2 thorns?'
A quick snap of these beauties after a long day! Very well kept motors and a credit to their owners and their drivers!
