Access for bridge Contractors

To overcome the problem of accessing part of the site over a flood relief channel, Cleveland Bridge has hired a JLG 800AJ boom, which has a horizontal outreach of 15.74m and a platform height of 24.38m.

Ronnie Long, Cleveland Bridge UK project manager, said: "We have also hired five Haulotte HA16PX boom lifts from AFI because they have very good manoeuvrability and provide sufficient reach for us to work on the bridge structures.”
