The Lift

Up and Over

It is important to allow for the crane's movement.

Once high enough the crane rotates to put the load over the roof to be lowered into place.

As the crane rotates the load will move to the left or right of where it is lifted. We allow for this when we position the crane.

Once the load in in the air the crane cannot be moved. One of the many things MRI London must get right to stay on schedule.


Going down

Once over the roof the ground crew are effectively blind, they rely on the operatives on the roof to see for them.

Effective and efficient communication is absolutely vital. Both crews have to be aware of the limitations of the others.

Fitting the units into their right place takes skill, experience and patience.

Gently into place.

When almost in place the greatest care is needed to ensure everything fits precisely where it must go. There is no room for error.

Making small deliberate movements with a crane takes yeas of experience, MRI London have that experience to ensure a good job done well.

The inexperienced firms can spend all day moving plant up, down, back and forth trying to get it in place.

MRI London don't, we get on and do it because we can.
