Lifting Modular Homes

2018 proved a successful year for Britlift in the Offsite Construction sector as a number of new clients came on board involved in the manufacture of modular buildings and bathroom pods for both residential and commercial use.

This has resulted in 11 Britlift beams being used, starting in February 2019, to lift modules onto the worlds tallest modular building in London which will be a huge 44 stories and 38 stories of modules across the two towers! Seen in image 1.

Through the experience of past projects there isn’t much that Britlift hasn’t seen, considered, designed, manufactured or supplied, in regards to lifting both modular buildings and bathroom pods, and it is this experience and expertise that will see further projects in 2019 supplied with Britlift lifting equipment.
