75m and a radian measure of 200m. Owing to the design’s geometry, standard underbridge inspection is not possible, so WEMO-tec has come up with a solution using a second telescopic platform and a hoist-winch generator. In addition to the operator, the system allows

two inspectors to inspect the arch on a 1.6m-wide platform, while two other inspectors can inspect parts of the superstructure on the base platform. The bridge pillars can also be inspected using the platform.

Contractors in Milton Keynes, UK, have managed an unusual satellite receiver installation with the use of a Nifty HR15
4x4 platform from Niftylift. After hiring a larger machine, the contractors found they could not get close enough to safely reach the job. However, they had seen the HR15 working on another part of the site, so approached the operators and carried out a risk assessment. The machine’s 180° rotation and cage size,
along with 9.6m of outreach, allowed the operator to position the base on the nearby asphalt while reaching up and over the muddy ground in between.
