Lifting 957 at Haworth

We have four 25 ton jacks for lifting engines

A very well developed programme for undertaking

heavy lifts ensures safety at all times. 

Mark is one of the two trained staff leading the lift

jaks are3 made ready to lower the frames as soon

as the wheels have been rolled clear.

All staff are briefd before the lift begins

Axle boxes rolled over hydraulic platforms to be 

dismantled

Frames now safely down and supported by jacks
