Tough task wrapped up
August 1st 2008 Two AFI-Uplift scissor lifts
have helped to carry out
one of the UK's biggest ever
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 two tanks in a
special waterproof membrane
for long term storage at
Ellesmere Port Dock.
Each lift had two 1.2m
deck extensions, providing
a total platform length of
almost 7m per scissor.
Ian Kirkham, PK Marine
Freight Services' MD 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." More articles from AFI-Uplift Limited: |
