This new 110,000 sq ft hotel required a passenger goods hoist to reach up to their 13th floor (circa 40m). This 2 Tonne LX2024 machine carried both personnel and materials to allow our customer to fit all 275 new luxury rooms at the Leonardo Hotel, Manchester.

This 40 week hire only required a single hoist to be installed and this was originally planned to be installed over two visits. When new circumstances arose, we were able to accommodate additional installation visits and eventually complete the installation over four visits to suit the development’s schedule.

Following the successful installation, NTP performed operator familiarisation for a number of site operatives who would be able to operate the machine safely. Once the successful candidates have completed their training, NTP issue both hard hat stickers and a card to prove that the operatives are competent to operate the machinery.

At the end of this project we had provided 40 weeks of great service which made the distribution of men and materials on site easy. This is one of many Bowmer & Kirkland developments that we have had the opportunity to supply hoists on.
