UK crane rental company Ainscough Crane Hire was recently drafted in by DBS Maintenance from Winchester, UK to raise the canopy of a petrol station in Exeter. The canopy had to be raised to allow for extra height vehicles and with the dimension of the canopy the lift required four cranes to carry out the lift. The Southampton depot provided three new Liebherr LTM1055-3.1, 55t capacity all terrains and a 25t Kato.
DBS Maintenance planned the lift and provided the Appointed Person and Slingers. Ainscough said that good teamwork between the two companies meant lift was completed without causing major disruption to the fuelling station.
