The sky's the limit

Hertel has used products from Nationwide Platforms' BlueSky range to drive new efficiencies and protect safety across the energy sector. For the purposes of installing scaffolding required for a tank refurbishment programme, Nationwide Platforms provided a specialist 40t, 34m scissor lift equipped with the SkyRakPlus, an attachment enabling up to 600kg of large or bulky materials to be safely secured at height, with the use of moveable pins and straps.

Nationwide Platforms assisted in finding a means of removing hundreds of metres of redundant piping weighing up to 150kg throughout a major UK oil refinery.

It also provided a 12m scissor lift equipped with the SkyHandler, a hydraulic lift system capable of precisely positioning materials, resulting in savings of both time and revenue for Hertel. Anti-entrapment, security and training solutions have also been provided to Hertel by Nationwide Platforms.
