Shiver me timbers! Yesterday saw one of our machines carry out some maintenance on “The Alfred” at Troon harbour. Thanks to the nimble HR12 from Niftylift Ltd we were able to get to the job at short notice and work around the tides. It’s not often we venture this far out of Perthshire but we are always proud to serve Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 as a whole.

One of our telescopic booms working night shift on the A9 this week.
As a business owner it can be quite unerving to think about your equipment working away through the night whilst you’re asleep, particularly during freezing temperatures and snowy conditions! This also compounded by the knowledge that our clients have to invest in TM setups, squads working overtime and planning applications etc.
That’s why since the beginning of 2024 we have been implementing a new and improved preventative maintenance program meaning I can sleep soundly knowing we have covered all eventualities in advance. Giving us that much needed edge when it comes to customer service! 😴 👶

We’ve taken on some tricky jobs through the years but nothing as complex as today’s effort! Through a narrow 0.8m wide gate before negotiating a maze of young trees and garden features, it was a long precarious process but we got there in the end! Customer satisfaction guaranteed!!

Two of our machines at the newly refurbished city hall in Perth today working on the elegant bronze door structures, I think it’s all looking rather special!

Working over a conservatory…?
You could use some initiative like this chap….

Or save yourself the hassle and hire an access platform!

Conservatories are our specialty! 😉

Interesting post, even brand new machines will blow a hose once in a while which is why it’s critical you have a contingency plan such as protective sheets when working on sensitive or residential areas.

In our latest article, we look at the actions you can take to prevent a hydraulic hose breakdown and how you can extend your hose’s lifespan!
