Nationwide
booms and scissor lifts are on long term hire to NG Bailey
& Co and sub contractors working on the construction
of a new car plant for Honda in Swindon.
A
total of 30 Nationwide powered access units are on site,
meeting a wide range of needs - for example, narrow width
Z30/20N booms have a closed width of only 1.2m, enabling
them to operate in areas where space is restricted. A double
extending deck on the LX50 scissor provides additional working
areas for men and materials, and the four-wheel-drive option
on the XRT 33 scissor allows the machine to be manoeuvred
over uneven ground.
NG Bailey & Co, one of the UKšs largest independent
building services contractors, is using the machines for
installing high level lighting, power, ductwork, pipework,
and mechanical services.
Many
of the Nationwide units are providing high level access
above a series of concrete pits constructed as part of Hondašs
production lines. Whilst some units are being lowered into
the pits, articulating booms are also being widely used
to reach out and over the pits from ground level.
Sited
next to Hondašs existing Swindon factory and due for completion
in summer 2001, the new factory is set to become one of
Europešs most modern car plants. At 335 metres long by 165
metres wide, it is the size of four football pitches.
