Case Study: Thames Water Pumping Station Gantry Design & Install
This gantry was designed, manufactured and installed by Rope and Marine to aid with the replacement of pumps from a well. The purpose was to eliminate the need for any manual handling of the pumps, from street level to the bottom of the pump chamber and eliminate the risk of operators injuring themselves when handling pumps up the stairs and into the building.
Case Study: Reducing Manual Handling Risks: Custom Lifting Frame Designed for Bakerloo Line
This lifting frame was designed and manufactured by Rope and Marine to aid with the replacement of door motors from Bakerloo line trains during repair works. The purpose was to eliminate the need for any manual handling of the motors. Due to their low position in the carriage, previously, operators had to bend down in an unsafe position that could cause injury to their backs when lifting the motors.
Enhancing Workshop Efficiency: Our Crane Installation Project at Tate & Lyle
This project involved the design, manufacture, and installation of a 3-tonne workshop crane for Tate & Lyle to improve material handling efficiency within their plant workshop. The client required maximum lifting height and travel while working within an existing building layout that only allowed runway supports to be positioned adjacent to four roof columns. To meet this challenge, a bespoke gantry structure was engineered with significant cantilevers, verified through both finite element analysis and hand calculations.
