Nissan Manufacturing was granted a permission for a new paint facility at Washington Rd, Sunderland. The new building was to replace existing paint facilities for the plant’s Line 1. The new section is a 216m long and 50m wide, 3 storey building, linked to existing paint shop via a bridge. One of our clients participated in the project of montaging and installing all the painting equipment in the new paint shop. We have been successfully delivering them tools, plant and machinery for over 6 months. For this project, they required machines, such us 3.0t and 5.5t forklifts, 17m telehandler, 26m cherry picker, SLA25 Genie Lifts and many more. Our on-time deliveries and service helped to successfully deliver the whole project before the deadline.
The Thames Valley Science Park in Reading features some of the UK’s first high-energy proton beam innovative treatments. This new facility includes a linear accelerator, as well as a CT Suite and an MRI. This top cancer technology will treat up to 500 patients a year. These particular laboratories have been built by our client, who specialise in building medical facilities, especially x-ray, proton and radiology laboratories, as well as nuclear medicine facilities. We are proud, that we could participate in this project and were able to deliver tools, equipment and machinery throughout three stages of the project, from summer 2017 till spring 2018. We were providing everything from telehandlers, scissor lifts, forklifts at the first stage, up to smaller equipment, such as podium steps, lighting, drills and many more at the further stages. Which eventually lead to finishing the project to the highest possible standards.

In 2015 Viridor started a constriction of the £205m Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) at existing landfill and recycling site in Beddington, South London. This facility has been designed to transfer non-hazardous residual waste into energy. It can process around 275,000 tonnes of waste a year and generate of up to 30MW of electricity enough to power the facility itself plus around 30,000 homes. One of our clients were supplying and installing the new facility with cable trays, control cables, earthing system, LV switchgear & equipment and I/O cabinets. We have equipped them with a couple of cable drum jacks, so they could finish the task. Some of their works were at heights, which involved powered access equipment to be used. For this reason, we have supplied them with 10m electric scissor lifts and 15m bi-fuel cherry picker, alongside with lots of different size podium and slimline steps. The whole equipment allowed them to finish their installation project to the highest possible standard.
In 2014 Imperial Tobacco announced, that due to declining sales they would be moving out of the UK, which meant the closure of the Nottingham factory. One of our clients were involved in relocating part of the factory, including large and heavy factory equipment and machinery from the UK to Germany. We have been asked to deliver a couple of different forklifts on a short notice. These included 3.5 ton and 5.5 ton LPG forklifts, and 8ton diesel forklifts. All the machines had to meet closed height restrictions within the buildings. Everything had to be delivered on time, so all the lorries would be loaded on time, and would be able to get to Germany as scheduled. Although there were initial problems with the availability, we have finally managed to meet all the requirements and deliver on time all the equipment. The relocation went smoothly and within the time-scale, which we made a small contribution to.
International Airlines Group (IAG) in 2017 began a construction of its new terminal, a £55 million premium facility at Heathrow Airport in London. The new facility will be two times bigger than the existing one and will handle the ever-growing demand for express prioritised shipments and pharmaceuticals. The New Premia features 11 truck docks and an additional 20 workstations for a break and build, everything temperature controlled between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. One of our clients precipitated in this big enterprise, and we have supplied them with a lot of machines required for the scope of the project. We delivered them a couple of scissor lifts, cherry pickers and forklifts, all with non-marking tyres. The forklifts were 2.5 – 3.5t with lifting height minimum of 5.5 meters. We have also delivered them a 17m telehandler fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and coveralls, so they could work indoors. The delivery was on time and thanks to our service they were able to finish all works within timeframes.
