Client: Cranfield University
Location: Bedford
Equipment Used: Klaas K950, 1m round nyalcast mats
Scope of Work: Replacing fan units on test buildings
Following on from previous work on the university site, a limited access and restricted space set up area required the additional planning to ensure that firstly a suitable machine could access the lifting area, but also have the reach to access the fan units on buildings set back from the lift area. The fans were estimated to weigh between 200-500kg so appropriate planning was required before the lift took place, along with approvals sought from the airfield operations for proximity to the runway.
A Lift Crane Hire selected the Klaas K950 for its compact design, short wheelbase, and rear steering, enabling it to navigate the restricted access area with ease. Its variable rigging setup ensured safe and efficient lifting of the fan units within the limited space. Close coordination with airfield operations ensured compliance near the runway, delivering a smooth and timely project execution.
Choosing the Klaas K950 allowed for a machine with excellent manoeuvrability thanks to its short wheelbase and rear steer to access the tight set up area. Once in position, the crane variably rigged in the restricted location, but still allowing for excellent duties to reach all the fan units which needed to be replaced. The project was completed within a half day hire for the client, allowing remedial works and operations to resume quickly.
