Making light work

A boom lift supplied by AFI-Uplift
has helped to make light work of a
repair and painting contract at a
lighthouse in Hartlepool.
Pyeroy’s Infrastructure and
Maintenance Support Services
Division hired the JLG 450AJ boom
from AFI’s North East depot over a
four-week period to work on the
13m high Headland Lighthouse,
which was built in 1926.

The boom gave Pyeroy the height
and accessibility needed to work all
the way around the lighthouse and
bring it back into shipshape
condition.

The JLG boom lift hired by Pyeroy
has a working height of 15.72m and
an articulating jib which enables the
cage to be manoeuvred into different
positions in relation to the boom.
