Extending the olive branch
From Noah, through Popeye to Fillippo Berio, everybody loves an Olive Including the discerning client who ordered this 150 year old specimen to give an air of timeless organic ambience to his chique London roof garden. But rather than having to wait for a Biblical flood to lift it up the 3 stories, we sent…
A troubled shared…
A problem shared is a problem halved… is the old adage. Whilst that isn’t quite the factor of safety one would use for a complex tandem-lift, the principle holds true. A client had a screening plant to be decommissioned, including a very heavy and awkward screen deck, mounted atop some internal plant. The challenges to…
Go Goodwood!
It’s still over a month away, but the incredible task of turning the peaceful grounds of Goodwood House in West Sussex into a Mecca for motoring mayhem has begun. Starting at the ‘Start’ (always a good place to begin) we joined the crew charged with setting up the infamous hill climb course. It’s a shame…
The real power behind Parliament?
It’s OK, we’re not really claiming to be pulling the strings behind one of the world’s oldest democracies, but we will take credit for pulling some levers in front of it! It’s nice to be relied upon to deliver the goods on these prestige jobs, and I know that even if drivers are asked to…
Not making a drama out of an Opera House…
Look familiar? Yes we thought so too! So we got to move another stunning creation from Millimetre’s Portslade production unit. These ladies were wide and sensitive, so lifting them on (Carl Somner – M.A.N c/w 36 ™ PM) and winding through the Sussex countryside to a remote storage facility (Richard Luggy Lainsbury – VOLVO FM…

We’ve got it covered!
Tony Hill was lifting it long and low on a house construction site in Hassocks last week. The 26.50 metre horizontal reach and winch function made his SCANIA c/w HIAB 80 t/m the ideal tool for the job. Pictures courtesy of Tony Hill

Cycle-Pathic Tendencies
The Horsey cycle path at Eastbourne commissioned by East Sussex County Council and Costains has presented Landbuild Ltd with a range of challenges. The fundamentally wetland nature with the associated issues surrounding bringing in construction equipment to land that was not only waterlogged but ecologically sensitive had to be given careful thought and planning. As…
Boaty Mc-Boatrace
The first catch of the year was no prize winning catch in terms of weight. But she was a tidy day fishing vessel to be moved from Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne to Premier at Brighton Marina. Barry ‘The Moo’ Huntley dusted down our boat cradles and had a ride to the seaside with our 3 axle…
