Facelift has put a 46m Bronto access platform to good use on a contract at Farringdon Station in London.


The project is upgrading the power supply


at the station in readiness for the London Crossrail project. The Bronto platform was used with a down


reach of almost 5m, to allow operatives to work safely above the track. This provided the client with a stable working platform from which to install the cable containment and the high-voltage cables.

CTE recently added the ZED 20CSH to its model line-up, with the S model offering a 50kg higher lift capacity than


the standard ZED 20CH. The articulated boom machine provides


working heights of up to 20m with the power to lift a 250kg load. As with the company’s ZED 26JH


boom, the ZED 20CSH features single- movement outriggers, and these make it possible to work closer to pavements and other obstacles.

Extreme Access Hire, which specialises in access for wind turbines, has developed a specialised cleaning


attachment that can be attached to its 70m truck-mounted access platforms. This combined service and access platform provides operatives with everything they need to service a wind turbine blade in situ. The platform incorporates a water storage


system, generator, water heating system and twin brushes. The brush-to-blade pressure is closely monitored using laser sensors, which also ensure the brushes follow every contour of the blades.
