Is the crane working in Stafford or just a meeting place?


Just a meeting place bud, crane went onwards to leyland.

Great picture bud, just before the cycle for tensioning the Y guy is complete. Thats why the boom is down that low.....you can see the wires are still slack, it will pull tight at that angle and lock off.

I think James Jack reminds me of ABA Whistle

Working with JJ's LTM1500 at the moment, got Angus helping us rig the LG yesterday.....his exact words where "hard work compared to the 5!"

It's in 2 phases, at the moment they're only doing phase 1 which is demolishing the old basement and creating a new underground car park then 2 floors above ground, one retail then another sacrificial to allow phase 2 to be done at a later date, but im not sure what phase 2 is, I assume offices probably...
