| The
Nationwide Skylift units working at the Home Office. |
Skylift
units from Nationwide were brought into action to meet the
challenge of a mammoth window cleaning contract at the Home
Office in London.
With
over 800 windows to clean in just one weekend, the contract
called for three skylifts to be on site for 12 hours a day,
with each machine carrying two window cleaners and a Skylift
operator.
A
44 metre Skylift gave the necessary working height to ensure
that all windows in the 12-storey building could easily
be reached, and 35m and 34m units - with smaller, two-axle
chassis - were called upon to get into the courtyard area
of the Home Office with restricted access.
All
of the truck-mounted Skylifts had articulating jibs, enabling
the window cleaners to easily manoeuvre around several areas
of the building where its face jutted out.
