Nice to see the right equipment in use for working at height

The team is using a JCB telehandler from A-Plant and a Nifty Lift HR21 Hybrid from Mainline Access. The exhibit, part of the fantastic display first seen at the Tower of London, is on tour as one of the national commemoration events for the 100th anniversary of the First World War, with the full display having a poppy for each soldier that lost his life in the fighting. The ceramic poppies were fittingly manufactured in Derby. The display which is free to view, opens on Friday.
