Our Machines

Our machines are selected for their exceptional versatility, and the ability to work in places where an old fashioned access platform would not be able to go. (we have on more than one occasion had to supply one of our tracked machines to 'salvage' a job in a churchyard where a conventional wheeled boom cherry picker has sunk to its axles into the ground or torn up the tarmac due to its sheer weight). The 'Spider' type tracked machines represent the cutting edge of current design, and we have proven time and again that they are the best machines for work in or on historic buildings.

Please contact Rob (07966 665771) or Jez (07595 894254) if you're not sure what machine to use for your job - we'll guide you through the choices and recommend something suitable.

We specialise in reaching the most difficult areas in the most sensitive of environments, including cathedrals, churches, castles, historic houses, schools, estates and ancient monuments.

Leo 23 GT

A remarkable design featuring a telescopic lower boom and rotating basket make this an incredibly versatile and capable machine. It has the capability to raise its 'knuckle' to almost 12 metres from where its top boom can extend out to 11.2m – meaning that this machine can reach above and over an 11 metre high obstacle – whether it be part of the building such as a Church aisle or over a separate feature such as a tree or tall hedge. This machine is nevertheless capable of passing through a standard size domestic front door.
