Case Study – Beware, low flying store!

This image gallery captures the delivery of a new IRONCLAD steel store to Lydney, Gloucestershire. Because of the complexity of the delivery, another two site crew were required, in addition to the driver.

Craning in close proximity to tree branches can cause problems in trying to control the operation of the Fassi crane, as it lowers the IRONCLAD store into position. The branches can easily knock the store off course.
