CHALLENGE
Notus Contract Lifting provides an end-to-end lifting solution to its clients, including identifying and procuring the best lifting equipment for the job; as well planning and supervising all lifts. It is part of the global Notus Heavy Lifting group.
Site safety is a priority for Notus. The company therefore wanted a crane mat solution that was flexible and lightweight, so that its Lift Supervisors could transport the pads in their vans to each job site – and easily manoeuvre them into place.
Because of the varied work which Notus Contract Lifting undertakes, it required pads which could be uses with a broad range of cranes, including mobile and spider cranes.
SOLUTION
Outriggerpads provided Notus with its 1500mm original Multi Mat kits (part number IP-59761). Made from high performance Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), the pads are resistant to water and chemicals, so won’t rot or rust like traditional wooden and steel alternatives.
As a modular system, it gives Notus the flexibility to manoeuvre and configure the mats for various load-bearing capabilities. The mats are light enough for manual handling and will fit comfortably in a van or light commercial vehicle.
OUTCOME
The three different configurations provided by the Multi Mat system ensure that Notus Contract Lifting can use the crane pads with a range of mobile cranes. The portable and lightweight characteristics of the Multi-Mats allows Notus to transport them in its vans and to quickly and easily set up on site, helping to improve productivity as well as safety.
