Praying Mantis on hire authority
June 1st 2007

Universal Aerial Platforms recently gave St Paul's Cathedral a helping hand to survey its North face with the hire of its Mantis 38m TSJ to surveyors Plowman Craven.

The Mantis was chosen because of its generous capabilities when working and positioning in restricted areas where there may be slopes, paths, obstacles or weight restrictions which disqualify conventional machines.

"This machine provides indoor and outdoor solutions for complex access situations," says Universal's Lee Kerr. "Being able to gain access through a narrow gateway and provide working heights of up to 38m whilst working within a confined space was ideal for this job."
