A very steep slope and complex building site access was no match for Skyreach's compact tracked boom solution.
Project overview
A customer working on a residential construction project had several challenging site conditions to contend with, requiring a creative solution. An incredibly steep slope and poor access meant the relatively simple task of building an outdoor entertaining area hinged on the ability to get the right boom lift on site.
Skyreach's solution
A site visit from our sales representative resulted in a recommendation of the Jibbi Boom Lift as one of the very few machines that could handle the steep terrain. Scaffolding wasn't suitable for this site, and a crane with a man box would have been an expensive undertaking, but the Jibbi Boom was the ideal solution for this builder.
A compact, highly agile telescopic tracked boom lift, the Jibbi Boom automatically self-levels on steep inclines. To ensure the safety of the operator, the machine also dynamically auto-levels, continually monitoring and adjusting the basket and undercarriage so the operator can safely work on uneven ground.
To stand by our recommendation, Skyreach asked the builder to only cover the transport costs in the event that the Jibbi Boom could not be situated in the correct position on site.
Outcome
The expert team at Skyreach was able to deliver a safe, modern, well-maintained asset to our customer's site that neatly fit the project requirements.
Budget constraints ruled out crane hire for this project, but Skyreach's comprehensive fleet of access solutions meant that we had the right equipment on hand to keep this builder's job on track without breaking the bank. Jibbi Boom hire was also a time saver on site, reducing setup time by an average of 70% when compared to placing traditional lifting equipment fitted with stabilisers.
I've dealt with Skyreach for some time and have always found their machines reliable and their service excellent. They recently pulled us out of a difficult situation by supplying the Jibbi Boom, which handled the steep terrain instead of costly scaffolding.
