We appreciate that the planning, timing and logistics of every installation involving a crane is critical, particularly when working on emergencies, urgent jobs and those which involve the hire of expensive plant and equipment. TPA’s wide experience enables us to provide safe and effective access solutions for all types of mobile cranes ranging from small City models through to heavy cranes of 1,000 and 1,200 tonne capacity. We can install panels to create both rigger mats as well as being laid as a protective surface to safeguard against any damage from the crane itself. Our products include unique attributes such as the captive nut which couples panels together, improving security- a vital consideration when a contract requires panels to be installed at a remote site. We are proud to have built successful and well established relationships with most of the industry’s key players and would welcome the opportunity to conduct a no obligation site survey next time you may have a need. A number of our Field Sales Engineers have a background in the crane hire industry and they understand your needs and concerns. The site survey offers you the opportunity to gain advice regarding ground conditions, access routes, and potential hazards, and is followed up with a comprehensive quote and site specific Risk Assessment.
