A Modulift spreader frame was key to lifting the 4.2t bell tower back into place, as restoration of Manchester’s Wythenshawe Hall continues following a devastating fire that nearly destroyed the 16th Century mansion two years ago.
The 3m by 3m centrepiece of the rebuild was contract lifted to its 14m-high position atop the landmark site by a 100t capacity Liebherr LTM 1100-5.1 telescopic boom crane, supplied by contract lifting company Mobile Crane Services (MCS). Beneath the hook, a Modulift CMOD 24 spreader frame, provided by Lifting Gear Hire (LGH), was positioned above the load’s four pick points.
