Wire rope sample – air freight frame

Lift-rite Engineering Services has completed the design, manufacture and test of frame to house two lengths of wire rope when transported by air. The project, from concept to delivery, was completed in less than 4 weeks and is worthy of note because of its sheer size – the frame was over 18m long, weighed over 5,000kg and had capacity to support 2 off 3,000kg wire rope samples. To ease handling operations Lift-rite’s Engineering Team integrated fork lift pockets and lift points into the design.
