BANKING ON TWO BOOM LIFTS
January 1st 2004

Two boom lifts from AFI Aerial Platforms were among 13 hired by Concert Lights (UK) to help them install rigging for lighting, sound and video for a banking conference at the NEC, Birmingham. Concert Lights, based in Bolton, needed 13 machines to carry out installation work because the conference was held in three different NEC halls. Working on a phased basis over 10 days, the company used the boom lifts to attach more than 300 electric motors to the roof of the NEC to lift the structures that support lighting, sound and video equipment. The AFI machines had working heights from 5.7 to 25m. One of the largest machines the Haulotte H25 TPX boom proved to be particularly versatile. Its rotating jib enables the operator to gain better access by manoeuvring the cage into different positions in relation to the boom.
