Our heavy lift crane vehicle & lorry loader haulage fleet features front and rear mounted cranes with lifting capacities ranging from 9 Tonne/Metre to 205 Tonne/Metre. These vehicles all meet BS7121 Part 4 regulations. All our Crane Vehicle Operators are trained and certified, ensuring maximum safety when undertaking your lifting requirements. Our ALLMI (Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers and Importers) Certified Drivers are experienced and skilled to self-load and unload freight and machinery. This allow us to safely and efficiently undertake transport, haulage and lifting & positioning tasks without the need for hiring mobile cranes or fork trucks.

Gidrolast specialises in the design and manufacture of both Single Acting and Double Acting Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders. We build both standard catalogue telescopic designs as well as custom application engineered telescopic cylinders. Often a hydraulic cylinder is required to fit into a very tight space and yet provide a stroke that is actually longer than its fully retracted length. A standard rod cylinder cannot do this. A telescopic cylinder, however, can achieve a very long stroke from a compact retracted length. Telescopic cylinders use a series of nested tubular segments sliding within one another (see diagram below). This enables them to provide a very long output stroke from a very short retracted length in one combined actuator. These cylinders are available in 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 6 stages. Most telescoping cylinders are single acting. That means that they extend using hydraulic pressure but then retract using gravity and the mass of the load.

Gidrolast knows heavy trucks. We cut our teeth building hydraulic cylinders for heavy trucks all the way back in 1993. Hydraulic cylinders on trucks are subjected to all forms of contamination that would destroy a poorly designed cylinder. Dirt, grit, rain, salt, tar, chemicals, solvents and cleaning agents all combine to attack the cylinder and its seals. Despite all this, the cylinders are still expected to perform. Cylinder failure means downtime, employee overtime, loss of vehicle availability, less productivity and reduced profit. Gidrolast cylinders are built tough to meet these conditions. They can be found mounted on garbage trucks, dump trucks, belly dumpers, semi end dumpers, boom trucks, knuckle boom loaders, road pavers, concrete mixers, concrete pumps, mobile cranes, tilt beds and tow trucks. Applications include dump cylinders, aerial boom cylinders, compaction cylinders, outrigger cylinders, tilt cylinders, swing cylinders, plough lift cylinders, and more.

Suitable for short-term to long-term operations, for re-positioning loads at ground level and for lifting loads up to great heights. For example, a single machine may be used for lifting steel roof sections into position in London, unloading an industrial machine weighing 60 tonnes in Cardiff and erecting a tower crane in Edinburgh, all within the space of a week! Examples of those who would be suited to attending this course: An employee of a construction company which owns a mobile crane and you wish to become the operator Someone with no lifting operations experience who is searching for a type of career which has few similarities to any other. This course will give you the foundation knowledge required to do so. Course options (duration includes the CPCS Technical Test): 10 Day Foundation course: suitable for those with no experience in the use of lifting equipment 6 Day Experienced Worker course: suitable for those with experience in the use of other crane types

A varied range of companies may own one, or several of these types of cranes. They may also be hired-in for a long or short-term period, often on a "self-operated" contract. Compact cranes should only be operated by personnel who are trained & competent to do so. By gaining this qualification, you may increase your employment prospects within such a company and introduce yourself to a new type of work altogether - lifting operations. There are two options of sub-category for the compact crane course: A66 A - Compact crane - Static on outriggers A66 D - Compact crane - Pick and carry 5 Day foundation course (including the CPCS technical test) Suitable for those with little, or no, lifting operations, crane or machine operating experience. 3 Day course (including the CPCS technical test) Suitable for those experienced in operating other types of cranes e.g. mobile cranes, cranes and lifting operations in general.
