Tank contract wrapped up
September 1st 2008 Two AFI-Uplift scissor lifts
have helped to carry out
one of the UK's biggest
shrink wrapping jobs
involving two storage tanks
each measuring 60 x 15m.
The AFI 9250 diesel
scissors were hired by PK
Marine Freight Services to
shrink wrap the two tanks in
a waterproof membrane for
long term storage at
Ellesmere Port Dock before
they are shipped overseas.
Each of the scissors lifts
had two 1.2m deck
extensions, providing a total
platform length of nearly 7m
per scissor.
Ian Kirkham, MD, PK
Marine Freight Services,
says "The AFI scissors were
ideal because of their
platform length; the shrink
wrapping process required
a large area to be done at
once, and with the long
platforms we were able to
have three men working on
each scissor lift at the same
time. The job would have
been a lot more difficult if
we had tried to use a
smaller platform." More articles from AFI-Uplift Limited: |
