Nancy's Arrival

Posted on 26th May 2022 at 15:15

On our annual ‘Busmans Holiday’ to Vertikal Days this year at Peterborough Showground we were impressed by a lot of new products and services being launched, or soon to be launched. Amongst them was one that we did not expect.

Let me elaborate!

Whilst enjoying the fantastic hospitality on the Promax Access stand, we were surprised by the unexpected arrival of Carlo and Davide from Platform Basket. During our very pleasant and relaxed, on/off conversation over a few hours we were informed of several new products in the final stages of development, one of which, is a new 15m hybrid tracked spider, due to be launched later in the year.

I can’t tell you any more about their new products as it is not my place to do so. However, what I can tell you, is that High Reaching Solutions has placed the FIRST ORDER in the UK with Promax Access for the new 15m hybrid tracked spider and her name will be NANCY. Hopefully she will arrive later this year or very early in 2023.

Her sisters will be very pleased to meet her.

Jamie, from J. W. Decorating in Scarborough got in touch with High Reaching Solutions as he had an awkward project to do and wanted to do it safely and efficiently.

The property hadn’t been decorated for some years due to the awkwardness of its location in the grounds combined with a ground floor extension on one side, conservatory on the opposite side and an old slab-paved patio in the middle, which also contained large and heavy stone garden ornaments.

The only access to the side with the extension and to the patio area further on was via a narrow, sloping and twisting gravel path.

Scarlett Graces' awkward situation in Leeds

High Reaching Solutions were asked to supply a solution to an awkward situation in Leeds. Decorators needed to work safely at height, 11 meters up and in a relatively confined internal space.

They needed Scarlett Grace, our Platform Basket 13.80 Hybrid narrow tracked spiderlift as she was small and able to set-up and operate in a confined area. With her outrigger footprint of less than 3 meters, both in width and length and her boom just short of 3.5 meters in length without the basket attached. She also had negative tail-swing and her lithium batteries kept noise down to a whisper and engine fumes were non-existent, which is ideal for working internally.

Our client of several years had a project in Leeds to decorate the exterior of an apartment block. Most areas were easy to gain access to via a mobile boom lift, however the rear created somewhat of a challenge for them due to the restrictive narrow access.

On realising the difficulties of the task they gave High Reaching Solutions a call and ask for Selina, our Platform Basket 22.10 EVO Hybrid. Having used her before they knew her 10.5 meters of outreach at 11 meters up and multi positioning stabilizer settings ensured that their experienced decorator would be able to get to the furthest point they needed to from the restrictive setup space.

They also knew that she was very quite when using her Lithium Ion batteries.

This photo shows the narrow and awkward path Selina the tracked spiderlift had to take on the start of her journey to the work area.

After negotiating the narrow start as shown above Selina would need to continue her journey down this narrow and restrictive path.

Great care would also be needed so as not to damage the established vegitation in the garden, which at times would be very difficult and time consuming to do.
