Heavy Industry Projects

Our health & safety, engineering and operations teams work closely with our heavy industry clients to carefully plan large projects such as plant shut downs.   We know how important it is projects like this run safely and to your time scales.  Our project planning and delivery includes:

  • Collaborative project planning with our clients
  • Providing 24 hour shifts of access platforms with trained operators
  • Having MEWP break down contingency plans in place to ensure that access equipment is available when you need it.
  • Having expert managers on site 24 hours a day during your project to ensure that your project runs safely and efficiently.
  • Ability to have a large fleet of our specialist access platforms on your site ready to provide your engineers with a safe work at height platform.
  • MEWP baskets equipped with power, air lines, water & lighting to assist with the safe execution of your project.
  • MEWPs with equipment lifting capabilities such as winches and lifting frames and safe working loads of up to 600 kg.

 

Elev8 Access Platforms really are experts in specialist access solutions.  In recognition of the planning and safe execution we put into providing safe high-level access to a COMAH level 5 manufacturing site shut down our client awarded us the prestigious Contractor Shut Down Health & Safety Excellence Award.  This was awarded to Elev8 after a recent project because safe methods of performing each job were carefully thought out, rescue plans were put into place and the team of Elev8 operators were well briefed prior to the work starting.    All the high level industrial maintenance jobs that Elev8 provided access for went smoothly, with zero down time for the contracting engineers.  Read more about this award here.

Access solutions for the utilities sector

Work at height in power stations often requires the MEWP to have extensive outreach capability’s as the buildings are so large.    Elev8 have a number of MEWPs with impressive outreach including our Palfinger P640 which has 38.2 meters of lateral outreach.

We also have access platforms available with safe working loads of up to 600 kg in the MEWP basket allowing us to safely transport heavy equipment to the high level work site.
