Overhaul & Refurbishment of Powered Access Plant
Overhaul & Refurbishment of Powered Access Plant
There comes a time in the life of every hard working machine when a major overhaul is needed. Bearings wear out, even when they have been routinely lubricated, ropes stretch beyond safe limits and mechanical components can all be damaged by the stresses and strains of hard daily use.
When that time comes, down time on any machine can be a big problem in your business. With many years of experience in powered access platform maintenance, we understand that time in the workshop is not time earning money. That is why your machine will be overhauled quickly and efficiently, returning to work as soon as possible.
Major overhauls can very often be carried out on site, or in our own workshop when that isn't viable, with collection and delivery service available to local customers. After a thorough examination, you will be quoted for the necessary repairs quickly, so that we can get on with restoring your MEWP equipment at the earliest opportunity.
Our overhaul personnel are all qualified to CAP standards and your machine will be restored in compliance with all current legislation and standards, including the issue of a new LOLER certificate.
If your powered access plant is in need of some big love, call us on the number shown, or click in the header of any page to send us an email outlining what you need and leave the rest to us.
Lydbrook is a large village situated on the western edge of the Forest of Dean and adjacent to the Wye Valley. Many of the village houses are high on the valley hillsides. The Lydbrook valley was once the site of a thriving tinplate works, opened in 1871 and closed in 1925. The village also housed the large cable works factory built in 1912 by H. W. Smith & Co. The works supplied a vast quantity of field telephone cable during the First World War. The old railway, built in 1872 ran high along the hillside, and then crossed the valley on a huge viaduct on 90ft high stone piers. The viaduct was finally demolished in 1969. Without the heavy industry, the village is now a tranquil backwater. Lydbrook became established thanks to its deep valley, running down to the Wye from the central Forest. It offered a source of power (running water), close proximity to materials such as wood, stone and iron ore and also good communications and transport via the Wye. A mill existed at Lydbrook ViaductLydbrook as early as 1282 by the late 15th century, there were three forges, a lime kiln a tinplate works and a wire-works. It became the principle coal port on the Wye from which Forest coal was shipped to Ross and Hereford. Despite the fact that for most of its history Lydbrook has been a hive of industrial activity, surprisingly little of this remains to be seen. The Forge Hammer Inn (currently closed) recalls the village's past along with a row of former dockworkers cottages at the foot of the valley near the river. There is a group of lime kilns in the lane above the Royal Spring Inn and the King's Howarth Furnace, albeit in greatly changed form also remains. Most notable however are the abutments of the Severn & Wye Railway Viaduct, which was built in 1872 to carry a branch railway line from Cinderford, a major feat of 19th century engineering
