zip wire servicing

So, what is the most exciting and interesting thing about this picture? The fact that it shows the start of England’s longest zip line running 720m, or that it is based at Bluewater Shopping and Leisure Centre in Kent or even that this young adventurer is just about to embark on 60mph high rise adrenalin thrill activity? Well, surely it is the lovely scissor lift table in the background which has just been serviced and maintained by our national team of engineers!

This was one of our more unusual service requests to date. Hangloose Adventure Bluewater provide amazing and safe adrenaline activities for thrill seekers wishing to experience something different. Their operation requires the use of four electric scissor lift tables to facilitate the running of the zip wire operation and of course inline with health and safety regulations it is imperative to have them serviced and maintained on a regular basis.

The routine service, repair or maintenance of all lifting equipment must be carried out by law in the UK. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) place duties on people and companies who own, operate or have control over lifting equipment. Equipment such as pallet trucks, stackers, fork trucks, scissor lifts and lifting cranes are all examples of items that would require such regular attention. Service and maintenance contracts are the ideal way of complying with LOLER. They are regular and can be scheduled around a company’s operations to ensure that safety is of paramount importance.
