"Rasing The Roof”
With health and safety being such a strong factor in the workplace, many contractors now look to build the complete roof at ground level to reduce the risks of working at heights.
Coming in at 18,000kgs this roof was easy work for our 100t and 130t All Terrain Cranes.

Our new spider crane in action replacing a pipe under a cat walk. The crane is equipped with a hydraulic luffing fly jib, winch, mancage, beam grab and pipe clamp.
The pipe clamp made easy work of this allowing us to replace the pipe without removing any of the cat walk and our operator was able to negotiate around other pipes and conduits that were in the way. Call us on 0800 WAE CRANES if you want to see this machine in action or book it for your next project

A project WAE Crane and Access is currently involved in.

This house build poses multiple challenges including steep and narrow access, limited room for crane set up and trucks.

Due the tight access, standard panel trucks can't get to site. Our 4 axle transporter truck with a super low 950mm deck height was ideal to transport the panels from our holding yard to site. In conjunction with our compact 45t City Crane we've completed the first phase of panels.

We look forward to seeing the project progressing and the delivery of the remaining panels.

👀 stunning views on location as well!
