Unic mini cranes have been used to carry out platform work, helping to install lifts, escalators and walkways at London’s Kings Cross station. Two Unic URW-506 cranes were hired to work for 8 weeks on each platform, the small footprint of these cranes makes them ideal for operating in the narrow working area. Here’s a Unic URW-376 lifting a new clock into place at Platform 8.

This Unic spider crane worked across railway tracks to lift a bridge into position at Highbury and Islington station. Thanks to this mini machine no road closures were required and the job could be carried out quickly so there was minimum disruption to the public

A specially modified Libro 500 overhang beam was used to install glass panels onto the façade of the newly renovated Blackfriars station. Lifted by a tower crane, this practical machine made fitting the units around an overhead canopy a simple job.
