WB Services UK recently completed a specialist lifting operation in London, combining the lifting power of our Fassi F1050 HIAB with the precision of a Jekko SPX 532.2 spider crane to safely deliver and position equipment on a restricted access site.
The project required a coordinated lifting solution that utilised the strengths of both machines. Working within a residential area with limited access and confined working space, our experienced team planned and executed the lift seamlessly from start to finish.
The site presented several logistical challenges that ruled out a conventional lifting approach. Equipment needed to be transferred from the roadside before being accurately positioned within a restricted area that larger cranes could not access.
Key challenges included:
A carefully planned lifting strategy was required to ensure the operation was completed safely while minimising disruption to the surrounding area.
To overcome the access restrictions, WB Services deployed both a Fassi F1050 HIAB and a Jekko SPX 532.2 spider crane.
The HIAB provided the long-reach lifting capability needed to transfer the equipment from the roadside, while the compact spider crane received the load and carried out the precise final placement within the site.
By combining the capabilities of both machines, our operators maintained complete control throughout every stage of the lift, ensuring the equipment was handled safely and positioned exactly where required.
This coordinated approach allowed the project to progress efficiently without compromising on safety or precision.
The lifting operation was completed successfully, with all equipment delivered and installed safely despite the site's challenging access restrictions.
The project highlights the benefits of combining specialist lifting equipment to overcome complex site constraints. By using the right machinery for each stage of the lift, WB Services delivered an efficient solution that reduced risk, improved accuracy and kept the project moving to programme.
Whether your project involves restricted access, precision lifting or a combination of specialist lifting equipment, WB Services has the experience and fleet to deliver a safe and efficient solution.
