The hoist is currently located on the right hand side of the building

The hoist - supplied by Geda partner BNS Baumaschinen - can be used as a material lift, offering a 1,000kg capacity at a speed of 24 metres a minute, or as a passenger & materials lift with 500kg/ five people maximum capacity at 12 metres a minute. It was initially installed on the left-hand side of the building and has since been moved to the right-hand side to support the next phase of the work set to begin imminently.
