A special build 17 tonne electro-hydraulic scissor lift table for the nuclear industry installed. The lift table was installed in a special area that made anything more than basic, routine maintenance difficult. The lift needed to work for 5 years before they could access it for refurbishment and relocation prior to another 5 year operation. When in use in a raised position the lift sits on hydraulically raised support legs this enables a fork lift with load to manoeuvre on the platform without risk of deflection.
