Truck mount helps with pest problem
August 1st 2005 Sometimes, choosing the right form of access can be a real headache. You may need a high working platform, but constraints on the ground may limit the size of the kit you can bring in. You may need substantial outreach, but have limited time to get the equipment operational.
In these kinds of circumstances, truck-mounted booms often prove an ideal compromise solution. One such example is the use of this 34- metre Skylift Bronto 34MDT from Nationwide Access, seen working on the Town Hall at Bolton, where pest control contractor PestoKill Pest Control had to position pigeon netting around the parapets of the historic building.
The truck mount was chosen for its ability to move on and off site quickly and efficiently without disruption, and be fully operational within minutes. The Victoria Square location in central Bolton and the surrounding streets are usually crowded with shoppers and visitors, so the need to complete the work quickly and with the minimum disruption was paramount.
The diesel-powered 34MDT combines a maximum working height of 34m with a maximum outreach of 22.7m. This allows the platform to reach over obstacles and gain access to areas not accessible when using equipment where movement is limited to vertical elevation. Its 1m by 1.8m platform can be rotated 280° in either direction, offering even greater versatility and productivity. More articles from Nationwide Access Limited: |
