Manoeuvring Heavy Steelwork using Rollers

Steelwork was required in various locations throughout this tightly compacted residential home, including the formation of a new lower ground floor, rear terrace and installation of a central ‘stability frame’.

To help manoeuvre these steels weighing in at almost 400kg each into the building, industrial grade rollers on bearings were implemented.
Steels were delivered by hi-ab, positioned on rollers, and then freely manoeuvred into their respective positions.

This improved their unloading and distribution times, whilst minimising manual handling and importantly avoided associated injuries and muscular strains.
