UNIC Cranes get Football Fever
We might not have made it to Brazil to watch the 2014 Brazil World Cup, but UNIC mini cranes are often hired to tackle tricky glazing jobs in football stadiums around the UK.
Mini cranes both large and small have been used to install glass to spectator boxes in fully constructed stadiums where space is limited and access is restricted.
This UNIC URW-095 mini spider crane helped to build new executive boxes at the AMEX stadium in Brighton as part of its expansion project. The 0.995 tonne capacity mini crane was tracked through narrow corridors around the football ground, home of Brighton & Hove FC, until it reached its lifting location amongst the seating in the stands. Fitted with a glass vacuum lifter, the UNIC URW-095 was able to move the 90kg glass panels from a glass stillage to the installation point above.
