iLift's Steel Beam Installation Service Carried Out on Uneven Ground

Imagine this: you're a contractor who needs to install steel beams in a tight location with incredibly uneven terrain. It sounds like an enormous headache, doesn't it?

But for us at ilift, it was just another day at the office.

The Brief

When ifab, our sister company, needed to install steel beams for a customer in Perth, we faced an environment that would make most companies turn away. However, we saw an opportunity to showcase the power and precision of the ilift, our cutting-edge mini crane designed to navigate even the most challenging landscapes.

The customer's house was surrounded by extremely uneven terrain. Unfazed, we crafted an innovative plan: to transport the steel through the front door. Our ilift's compact size and rubber tracks are designed for such tasks, allowing it to glide across varied surfaces without causing any ground damage, a testament to its innovative design.

Our Work

One might think that manoeuvring through a residential house would be impossible for a crane, but that's where the ilift's size becomes its greatest asset.

It can fit in spaces where larger cranes would fail, like inside buildings, round tight corners or on rooftops. It's a unique solution, unrivalled in Scotland, and fully compliant with legal obligations on manual handling.

The steel installation was comprised of several pieces, the largest of which was a hefty 9.5m long beam weighing 750KG. The remaining pieces were approximately 300KG each. Despite the size and weight of these materials, the ilift handled the task without a hitch. The job was executed without manual handling, reducing the risk of injury to the workforce and demonstrating the efficiency of the ilift.

Tracking to the back of the house, our fully trained and licensed operator expertly positioned the ilift so that the steel beams could be installed safely and effectively. Its Load-Lock technology ensured a stable platform, and each steel beam was installed into its precise location.

The operation was safe, efficient, and a textbook example of the ilift's capabilities.

The client's response? Utterly impressed. And truth be told, we shared in their pride. We had turned a complex operation into a seamless execution, showcasing how the ilift can cut labour costs, increase efficiency, and handle tasks that other equipment simply can't manage.
