Recent Projects
With a track record of delivering vertical access solutions on a diverse range of projects nationwide, NTP are selected by contractors of all sizes to meet their requirements. Below are a selection of recent projects that we are proud to have been a part of.
The development, estimated to be worth £65 million, consists of 18 and 22 story tower blocks. These will replace the former Alton Cars showroom site on Saxton Lane, Leeds.
The piazza-style development will be situated adjacent to all major transport routes and will accommodate one, two and three-bed apartments. It will be located within walking distance of the high street and will create a connectivity route to the city.
NTP supplied 3 machines on Saxton Lane. 2 x Bocker Giant 2038 passenger & goods machines and 1 x GEDA 1500ZZP Transport Platform. We worked closely with the temporary works team to design the hoist ties in such a way that the modular façade of the building was able to withstand the tie loadings.
Both of the passenger hoists were placed in the basement of the building which allowed the site to feed materials to the ground floor level. Due to the small site footprint the basement was used to store material before it was distributed accordingly using the hoists.
The Transport Platform sat at level 13 and fed materials to the remaining 9 levels. This machine was carefully selected because of the low tie and base loadings that we are able to offer with this type of equipment.

York Castle is a fortified complex in the city of York, England. It consists of a sequence of castles, prisons, law courts and other buildings, which were built over the last nine centuries on the south side of the River Foss. The now-ruined keep of the mediaeval Norman castle is commonly referred to as Clifford’s Tower.
During the tower’s 5 million pound renovation, NTP supplied a Bocker MX2024 A34 goods only machine. Initially the machine was used to remove large buckets of soil as the site had to dig the old ground out and lower the floor level. Once completed the machine was used to get materials in to the tower as the restoration began.
The hoist had a safe working load of 2000kg, a top landing height of 12m, fed 1 landing plus base and was on site for a 55 week period.
This was a great project to be involved with and it was a privilege to be crucial part of bringing this building back to life

Tying into the wider regeneration of Barking Town Centre, Axe Street is a landmark scheme that provides high quality Build to Rent homes along with commercial and leisure facilities, transforming the former Abbey Sports Centre into a vibrant civic quarter and visitor destination. NTP supplied 2 fully enclosed passenger & goods machines to help distribute men and materials throughout the build.
Hoist 1 had a safe working load of 2200kg and a top landing height of 41m. The machine fed 12 landings and ran at a speed of 60 mpm
Hoist 2 had a safe working load of 2200kg and a top landing height of 35m. This machine fed 10 landings and ran at a speed of 60 mpm
These machines were installed over multiple visits to suit the requirements of the site. Upon completion of the installations, NTP provided operator familiarisation to multiple site personnel which ensured they were competent to operate the hoists safely. All those that successfully completed the familiarisation course were issued with ‘competence cards’ to show that they were able to operate the machines safely.
All in all a very successful project for NTP and one that we are proud to have been a part of.

For this development, two buildings comprised 153 affordable sheltered units and 17 market sheltered units within Building 1 fronting Lodge Road.
NTP supplied a Twin GEDA PH20/32 Passenger & Goods hoist for this project with a safe working load of 2000kg. The machine served 14 landings with a top landing height of 42m. The machine was installed progressively over 3 separate visits as the building progressed.
We also supplied our state of the art Bluetooth landing call system that allowed the contractors on site to notify the hoist drivers when they required picking up from the various landings.
The hoist was on site for a 66 week hire period and was an integral part of the project as the site had a very small footprint. They therefore needed a reliable machine that made distributing men and materials easy throughout the duration of the project. Due to the long hire duration NTP invested in new equipment for Lodge Road which was purchased ‘on spec’ for this project.

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.

The restoration of Castle Howard in York required a small Goods machine to reach the roof of the main building. As a result, a small Z320 hoist perfectly matched this project and met all requirements. This also helped the various teams of specialists working hard to bring this stately home back to life.
The home, previously seen on shows such as Brideshead Revisited, ITV’s Victoria and Bridgerton, is know for its opulent interior and dramatic history. The building has received multiple renovations since its completion in 1811 and it is due to the protection of the building that our machine was tied to the scaffolding. To complete this, we were able to accommodate with a smaller machine size and therefore lower tie loadings.
As part of this machine package, our engineers carried out weekly inspections. This ensured that any issues were picked up before they became a bigger problem. It also gave our customer peace of mind to know that their hoist will be in good working order at all times.
The renovations, including our hoist, can be seen on Nick Knowles: Heritage Rescue, giving us the rare opportunity to have one of our machines seen on TV. We have had the pleasure to successfully work with our customer, Sky Scaffolding, and meet all of the particular needs of this unique project.

One of the most prestigious buildings that we have worked on, the Old War Office is a Grade II* listed landmark at the heart of Whitehall, London.
At this site we offered a complete hoist package containing a variety of hoist types and capacities. In total we supplied 7 machines over a 2 year period. The largest machine configuration provided was a twin Bocker BK2038FC Passenger & Goods machine. These each have a lifting capacity of 2.2 tonnes with a variety of additional items available.
Our engineers installed Goods machines, Transport Platforms and Passenger & Goods hoists both inside and outside of the building. Bocker LX2024 hoists were configured as both A17 (1.5m x 1.7m) and A42 (1.5m x 4.2m) machines, and two of these were converted into Transport Platforms to suit the needs of this project.
As this project ran for over 2 years, with machines being installed and dismantled as and when required, we carried out monthly inspections to ensure the machines were all kept in good working order, given the duty cycle on site. Our engineers took great care around the old building and with continual servicing the technicians on site did not have to worry about unexpected call outs.
The former Ministry of Defence building was converted into a 125-room, world-class Raffles hotel, and 85 luxury residences. This 760,000 square foot development required a mixture of machine heights with a varying number of landings to achieve the access required by those on site, and we are proud to have supplied Ardmore with this project.

This project in Lincoln for St Marks Accommodation made use of our various Transport Platforms and Goods machines. Over the course of 2 years, 11 hoists were supplied in total.
This site consisted of 10 accommodation blocks which resulted in 1372 new student rooms at the University of Lincoln. Due to the layout of the site, multiple machines were hired, covering most blocks and creating wider access across the development.
Due to requiring a versatile package of construction hoists, we provided our customer with a combination of Bocker MX2024 and GEDA 1500ZZP machines. These machines can easily be configured as either Goods only machines or Transport Platforms and site decided to have a mixture of both.
Overall, this project was a brilliant example of how multiple machines can provide efficient access to large developments. The site team were more than happy with the access package provided by NTP and we continue to work together on multiple different projects.
