Mini crane supplier, UNIC Cranes Europe, took on an unusual job recently at the Jewelry Quarter cemetery in Birmingham. UNIC Cranes Europe supplied Yardley Memorials with one of its mini crawler cranes to pick up and reset fallen grave stones.
This was a job previously difficult to execute given the confined space and the sheer weight of the Victorian stones. UNIC’s mini cranes are extremely compact meaning they can easily fit between the grave stones, allowing their strength to do the work with ease, in a controlled and safe manner.
Peter McMahon proprietor of Yardley Memorials commented: “What started out as a mammoth task was actually made very easy when we discovered UNIC’s mini cranes. They were ideal for picking up and resetting the stones in what is quite a confined space. We’ll definitely be calling on UNIC Cranes Europe when we start the next phase of stone resetting.”
Graeme Riley,Chief Executive Officer of UNIC Cranes Europe also commented: “Working in a cemetery is certainly a first for us! We have never supplied machinery for anything like this before but I’m confident that we’ll provide many more as this has proved to be yet another niche perfect for UNIC’s versatile equipment.”
