Look at this serious kit.

[saveasteading]

After a dry summer and minimal progress, we are getting a roof on at last... in foul weather.

Fortunately the cladder doesn't mess about and has hired in this very serious kit. Hence 350m2 on plan was clad in 2 days.

Huge crane with panel clamp, big mewp and don't forget the forklift off to the right.

Having the equipment makes a job like that a doddle. So many struggle to save plant hire costs, but that’s dangerous and hugely inefficient.

 

Nice to see a good site setup and the progress speaks for itself.

This pic makes the scale clearer.

You had a forklift as well as a telehandler?

I thought it was OTT at first  too but it's an agreed price for the work so can't argue. They've clad another smaller roof too  ( 15 x 12) and I suspect the crane had gone and the handler was used for that.

Plus the garage roof had to be stripped first and there's other steel to do too.

I'm on hols so missing this fun: my favourite bit of any steel job.

Overall that's impressive in 4 days of wet weather on a steep roof.

 

We can now take away the buckets that were under the holed garage roof.

note the string line for fixings precision,  and the ridge filled with foam.... nice.

I was hinting at what I think you're calling a fork lift, the green thing, is in fact a telehandler! 😂

Apologies, I was anwering an imaginary question. "Why a telehandler as well as big crane?"

The one forklift, but a telescopic one.

 

And I was just  simplifing the vocabulary over-casually. I shall endeavour to be more precise.

For clarity, no telescopes or televisions were handled.

They’re doing a very good job.

 

Id be happy to relax on hols whilst these guys were working for me, so that’s great news for you on yours
