How Trans Lyft Lifting Technology got a big lift through a small door at Asda

Trans Lyft Lifting Technology (www.liftingtechnology.co.uk), in partnership with Radius Crane management, has successfully installed a 12-ton, 10 metre wide scissor lift inside a store in Pudsey, Yorkshire for Asda despite the fact that doors into the building have a head clearance less than 5 metres high.
How did they do it?
First, the main part of the lift was unloaded by crane into the yard. It was then placed on skates and wheeled over sleepers into the building with the help of a Versa-Lift forklift. Once inside, it was moved using a seesaw action, changing the pivot point each time to lower the 24-ton capacity lift slowly into position in the pit base.
The lift's side wings were installed in the same way. Then Lifting Technology's experienced engineers fitted the safety trip bar edge, wired and commissioned the lift, and completed final testing before handing the lift over to Asda.
All this took just 3 days.
Managing Director George Scholes commented 'Trans Lyft Lifting Technology has the expertise and experience to deal with the most challenging of installations, in all types of environments, whether a retail store situation like this, or in a listed building'.
Mike Fryer of Radius Crane added 'The team did an outstanding job of installation in very difficult circumstances' |
