Complex spaces are a real challenge for commercial handling equipment. For a solution that reaches where you need it to…
Bespoke mechanical handling for confined and awkward spaces
Complex spaces are where standard commercial handling often falls short. Limited headroom, recesses, gaps in rails, pits below ground and unusual building shapes all restrict lift height, hook coverage and safe access.
SCX solves those constraints by adapting proven equipment and, where the site demands it, designing fully bespoke systems. The aim is always the same: reach where you need to reach, without compromising performance and safety.
From nuclear decommissioning and defence munitions handling to iconic buildings and major infrastructure, the projects below show how the SCX approach works in practice.
The Challenge
Often, mechanical handling is required in buildings that aren’t all straight walls and high ceilings. Commercial handling equipment is rarely capable of tailoring its operation to accommodate such complex spaces.
This can be extremely limiting, restricting operations to lower heights of lift and reduced hook coverage. In certain situations, this could be restrictive to the point of considering new premises, something that isn’t always a realistic option.
The Solution
SCX has developed many handling solutions that are designed specifically to fit in and around awkward spaces. Some of our systems are designed to help decommission ageing nuclear buildings, or to handle defence munitions, where the option of relocating simply doesn’t exist.
As always, our approach remains consistent – to listen and understand our client’s challenge and to blend the best industry-proven equipment with our in-house engineering capability. The result is systems that are truly fit for purpose and which help our clients to achieve their operational goals.
