LIFTING PRECAST CONCRETE TO NEW HEIGHTS

The use of precast concrete panels for construction projects is increasingly popular and it is easy to see why. The panels are manufactured offsite which can significantly reduce programme time and, when managed correctly, there is also less lifting and moving of materials which can create a safer work environment with fewer hazards. Plus, assembling the panels offsite can reduce on site waste and help the project become more environmentally friendly.

However, precast concrete requires different lifting solutions from other building methods due to the size and weight of the panels. Bennetts Cranes, the UK's leading specialist tower crane hire company, has a fleet of cranes with the required lifting capacities.
