Lifting & Handling Equipment

Hoist & Winch Ltd provided a comprehensive lifting solution for the complex replacement of the tensile roof covering on a landmark building at Nottingham University's Castle Meadow Campus, a former HMRC complex resembling London's O2 Arena. Tasked by the specialist subcontractor, Hoist & Winch supplied 12 x CM Lodestar electric chain hoists, bespoke control stations, and a number of large capacity William Hackett lever hoists to safely lower the old roof and raise the new one. Their technical consultancy covered crucial aspects like legislation, planning, and equipment selection, ensuring a smooth and successful operation. The subcontractor was highly satisfied, leading to further collaborations and leveraging the acquired knowledge for a similar project in Copenhagen.

Reinforcing the piers that support a major UK rail viaduct spanning a river estuary is no easy task, which is exactly why the specialist marine subcontractor appointed to undertake this project approached Hoist & Winch Ltd for the optimal lifting solution, utilising 8 x JDN Air Hoists.
