From Diddly Squat to The Farmer's Dog... A ‘Lift’ We'll Never Forget!
A-Lift Crane Hire had the privilege of supporting the production team behind Clarkson's Farm with the relocation of the now-famous wooden goose hut from Diddly Squat Farm to The Farmer's Dog, where it was transformed into the Christmas grotto featured in Series 5.
With a request for assistance, our team quickly planned the operation, supplying our Tadano ATF70-4G along with Brit-lift modular lifting beams to safely lift the shed from the field, load it to awaiting transport and position it at its new home at the pub.
Like many parts filmed for the show, the lift didn't make the final edit as everything went smoothly, safely and exactly to plan, allowing the production schedule to stay on track. Whilst that may not make for dramatic television, it's a testament to the experience of our planning team, our operators and everyone involved in delivering another successful lift.
As an added bonus, our team had the opportunity to meet Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland while on site, making it a project they’ll certainly remember.
Whether it's relocating buildings, lifting modular structures or delivering specialist contract lifting solutions, A-Lift Crane Hire is proud to provide safe, professional lifting services on projects of every size.
