Network Rail - the company responsible for the infrastructure of Britain's railways - have recently been constructing a brand new rail line in Manchester. The new viaduct will connect two of the city's largest stations (Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria) for the first time, significantly increasing capacity and reducing journey times into and through the centre of Manchester.
We are pleased to say that Network Rail and their contractors chose to use SafetyLiftinGear's
lifting equipment for this project. Our
wire rope slings (77mm diameter, 8m & 9m length, 85 tonne SWL) have played an important part in the construction of the new line, as have our
85T Alloy Bow Shackles.
We wish Network Rail and everyone involved in this construction project all the best, and we hope that the people of Manchester will find the new line to be a great convenience.
