NMT Crane Hire tackles Storm Darragh’s aftermath

Posted in News MediaTagged , Leave a Comment on NMT Crane Hire tackles Storm Darragh’s aftermath

When Storm Darragh swept across the UK, it left a trail of damage in its wake, and a woodland area in Woburn Sands was no exception.
Responding to the call, NMT Crane Hire deployed our versatile Terex Demag 40 Tonne Crane to handle a complex operation involving the removal of a large fallen tree that posed a hazard to the surrounding area.
Like many lifts, we make it look easy as we’ve been doing this for decades. But the reality was that the task wasn’t as simple as removing the tree.
To ensure the safety of everyone involved, a skilled tree surgeon was suspended by our crane to safely cut and manage the fallen tree before removal could proceed. This step was crucial to minimise risks and prepare the site for the second phase of the operation.
Once the tree was sectioned, the Terex Demag 40 Tonne Crane stepped in for the heavy lifting.
With its precision handling and versatile lifting capabilities, our team efficiently removed the large sections of the tree, clearing the area while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Safety was our top priority throughout the operation.

NMT Crane Hire delivers precision lift in Manchester City Centre

Posted in News MediaTagged , , Leave a Comment on NMT Crane Hire delivers precision lift in Manchester City Centre

Over the busy festive period, NMT Crane Hire was called into the heart of Manchester to execute a highly specific and technical lift.
In one of the city’s most prestigious business districts, our team from the Birmingham depot proved why we are trusted for delicate and challenging lifting operations.
For this project, the BOCKER AK46/6000 crane was ideal choice, offering the versatility and precision required to handle the unique demands of the job.
Our mission was to lift out existing glass panels from a high-rise office building and replace them with sleek new glazing.
Operating in a bustling city centre during the festive season added an extra layer of complexity to the job, which was handled expertly by our supervisor and site team.
We took proactive steps to manage safety on-site, including working with the client and local authority to close down a busy side street and ensuring pedestrians were safely guided away from our works.
With clear signage, barriers, and of course NMT in place, we worked efficiently to maintain the highest safety standards while minimising disruption to the public.
Our works, which happened over a three day period last week, did provide some spectators, however our team navigated the challenges of a city centre environment perfectly.
The BOCKER AK46/6000, with its advanced capabilities, enabled us to complete the lifts with accuracy, ensuring the pristine installation of the new glass panels.
Terry Clarke, NMT Crane Hire Manager in the Midlands who was the appointed person on the job, said: “This project highlights why NMT Crane Hire is the go-to choice for challenging lifts in busy city centres like this. With a skilled team, a modern fleet of cranes, and a commitment to safety, we specialise in delivering precision and efficiency for projects of all sizes. Full credit to our team, which included Martin Tongue, for delivering a great result for our client.”

For over 12 months, NMT Crane Hire has been at the heart of a complex silo dismantling project for a valued client.

Using the versatile Spierings SK1265-AT6, the team has worked tirelessly to execute safe, accurate lifts as part of the mill’s systematic deconstruction.

The project involves lifting engineering teams in man baskets to carefully unbolt silo sections, ensuring every lift is performed with zero margin for error.

We then take each section of the silo down with our team delivering the heavy lifting.

Supervisor Adam Potts highlights the importance of teamwork.

He said: “This job is all about precision and collaboration. Every detail matters, and our crew are committed to delivering results for our client.

“It’s work that is repetitive but this is lifting and demolition and our team’s concentration and delivery has never wavered. We’re getting through the work and doing it well.”

Gerry White, Director at NMT Cranes, reflects on the project’s duration and significance: “Being on this job for over a year is a testament to the trust our client places in us. Managing a project of this scale requires expertise and consistency, and I’m proud of how the team continues to meet and exceed expectations, always prioritising safety.”
