Bell Building Projects hired
boom and scissor lifts from
AFI-Uplift to work on a new
cold store in Scotland. The
Snorkel AB60J and a JLG
450AJ boom lift, together
with a Skyjack SJ8831D
scissor, gave the height and
accessibility to install cladding
panels and paint the exterior
of the 8125m3 cold store
being built for Tradimar UK
at Bellshill, near Glasgow.

Jim Stewart, Bell Building
Projects’ site manager, said:
“AFI carried out a site survey
at the cold store to ensure
that we were supplied with
the right machines to meet
our needs. The boom lifts
had articulating jibs which
made it easy to move around
obstacles to reach elevated
positions and the scissor lift
had a roll out deck extension
to provide further working
room for the operatives
installing the cladding.”
