To bee or not to bee

When Panther Platform rentals was called upon to provide an access platform to remove a bee’s nest from a pub chimney, it selected a CTE Z26 - 26.5 metre working height truck mounted boom lift for the job.

The compact truck mount parked in the street outside the Sutton Arms on Sutton High Street in Surrey. The Rentokil exterminator and operator kitted out with appropriate protective gear were quickly in place and removed the offending nest without drama.

Tania Simmons of Panther Platform Rentals said: “After surveying the job and the access required, our team decided that the Z26 was ideal for getting up and over the roof of the three storey building. Fortunately, the nest along with the bees was reported to have been moved avoiding any stinging incident!”
