Chelmsford, Essex - Church Spire

Trac-access was recently called to help with a more unusual job in Chelmsford, Essex, to use the Teupen Leo 23GT to replace cedar shingles damaged by woodpeckers on a very old church spire.

 

The Teupen Leo 23GT was driven to the base of the spire and set up ready for work replacing the broken shingles with new Canadian cedar shingles. Trac-access' trained operators are also members of the guild of master craftsmen with over 25 years experience in building & maintenance work, saving the customer the time & cost sourcing people to do the work.

The Teupen Leo 23GT was able to use its 23 metre reach to work safely repairing the roof. We moved around the spire changing the damaged shingles thought out the day into the evening.

The next day we continued work on the spire using the impressive out reach of the Teupen Leo 23GT to reach all the way around the church spire. The Teupen Leo 23GT was the only machine able to pass through the gate into the grounds of the church then track around the narrow winding path over uneven ground to the base of the church tower.

The ground around the tower was at different levels, but this was not a problem for the Teupen Leo 23GT as its self-levelling legs are able to perfectly level the machine no matter what the ground condition.

Once completed, the platform was folded up and driven along the narrow path between old grave stones without causing any damage due to its light ground pressure and crawler tracks of the Teupen Leo 23GT. We loaded up & headed home with another good job done.
