For a number of years, Hiremech has proudly supported the Royal Air Force Museum by supplying specialist access equipment to assist with the installation and maintenance of its aircraft exhibits.
When the museum’s existing cherry picker reached the point where costly repairs were no longer economical, our team worked closely with them to provide a modern, cost-effective replacement that would continue to support their unique operational requirements.
Supporting the Installation of Historic Aircraft
The cherry picker plays a vital role in assisting with the installation and positioning of aircraft exhibits throughout the museum. Working at height safely and efficiently is essential during these projects, making dependable access equipment a key part of the museum’s operations.
Once the customer’s requirements had been established, Hiremech worked to source the correct specification of machine for the application. We arranged a part exchange for the existing machine and supplied a new XCMG 12-metre cherry picker on a fully inclusive 60-month contract with maintenance, giving the museum complete peace of mind.
The new XCMG 12-metre cherry picker was delivered, and the museum’s previous machine was removed as part of the exchange, making the upgrade straightforward and hassle-free.
Delivering Long-Term Value
Moving from an ageing owned machine to a fully maintained long-term contract has provided the Royal Air Force Museum with a more dependable solution while removing the uncertainty of unexpected repair costs.
The operators have been particularly pleased with the performance and manoeuvrability of the new cherry picker, allowing them to work efficiently around valuable exhibits and within the museum environment.
