Bylor also ordered 22 of the manufacturer’s Star 6 AC and 16 Star 10 verticle mast lifts. The models are both suitable for indoor and outdoor applications and have working heights of 5.6m and 10m, respectively.
The new machines will be used to carry out the main civil engineering and construction works at Hinkley Point C, which is located on the Somerset Coast of England and will power around 6 million homes.
According to Haulotte, this is the second order of its equipment by Bylor for the nuclear project. The first order for 22 machines, was made in July 2019.
