Hylift Access raises the roof

Freak local weather conditions caused the Aldi store in Chester to loose a 70 metre by 30 metre section of roof last Sunday. Liverpool-based Hylift Access Hire was on hand to assist the safe removal of the roof using its 34 metre Bronto truck mount.

An elderly man escaped injury even though the Volvo car he was sitting in was crushed under the roof. The car was a write-off and three other vehicles were badly damaged. One woman sustained minor injuries but did not need hospital treatment.
