Styles and Wood has hired mast booms to complete the electrical installation at the new 20,400m? Debenhams store, part of the redevelopment of Birmingham?s Bull Ring. The company is using HM10 mast booms to provide high-level access to wiring and lighting over the store?s open central staircase.
The HM10 was chosen from Nationwide Access because the machine?s weight does not exceed the store?s floor loading. It provides a 10m working height and a 3m outreach and weighs 4.2 tonnes.
Being electrically powered, the machine is suitable for use inside buildings, where diesel exhaust emissions would be unacceptable. It is also small enough (its closed width is just 0.81m) to fit into the store?s goods lift. The platform measures 1.02m by 0.79m for an electrician, his tools and the light fittings.
