3 crawler cranes on hire to dismantle Loughor Railway Bridge

We recently supplied 3 crawler cranes on hire to Devon based Sam Gilpin Demolition to assist in the dismantling of the old railway bridge at Loughor, Near Swansea.

Two units IHI DCH900, 90 tons capacity and one unit IHI DCH800, 80 tons capacity crawler cranes were supplied on a 24 hour per day basis for 3 days until the work was completed.

In addition to both day shift and night shift operators, we also supplied stand by fitters in order to keep any downtime to a minimum for the client.

The job went extremely well and finished earlier than predicted. Click on the link to see a video of the crawler cranes in action. Photos are supplied courtesy of Gareth Lovering click on the link to see further shots of the bridge being dismantled.
