Yorkshire-based specialist
painting contractor Bagnalls
hired three boom lifts from
AFI for help with painting
80m of the Meadowhall
Interchange Footbridge in
Sheffield.

The Upright SB85J and
Genie S125 straight booms
have outreaches of 23.4 and
24.4m respectively, and
working heights of 28 and
40.10m. AFI also supplied a
JLG 450AJ articulating
boom, which has a working
height of 15.72m.

Bagnalls Richard Britten
said: “Using AFI machines
contractors were able to
complete the contract in just
over three weeks. The machine
gave the required outreach to
span the River Don from each
side and provided enough
working height to access the
bridge’s tower and
suspension lines safely.”
