NMT Crane Hire Completes Floodlight Upgrade at Iconic Kia Oval

Posted in News MediaTagged , , , , Leave a Comment on NMT Crane Hire Completes Floodlight Upgrade at Iconic Kia Oval

NMT Crane Hire has successfully completed a major floodlight upgrade at the historic Kia Oval cricket ground, replacing 20-tonne lighting structures that had illuminated the venue for 14 years.

Surrey County Cricket Club commissioned the installation of state-of-the-art LED floodlights to enhance visibility and sustainability at the iconic venue, home to numerous Ashes series and Cricket World Cup matches.

The complex operation required precision lifting in a fully operational stadium with tight working spaces. NMT deployed a Liebherr LTM 1300-6.2 (300T) crane and Terex AC40L support crane to execute lifts across all four quarters of the stadium.

“Taking on a project at a venue as prestigious as The Kia Oval is a responsibility we take seriously,” said James Ambridge, Managing Director of NMT. “The new floodlights will illuminate many more iconic moments in cricket history.”

Technical Sales Manager Mikey York led the project, with on-site supervisors Adam Potts and Steve Wicks overseeing the precision lifts.

Client Shane Tugwell of DMC Group praised the outcome: “NMT Crane Hire delivered outstanding service from start to finish, ensuring a seamless and efficient upgrade to the floodlighting system.”

The successful project ensures The Kia Oval remains at the forefront of world-class cricket venues.

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.”
