A travelling arts centre
Our driver Ian moved this repeatedly over several weeks — a travelling arts centre housing a theatre, a museum and a shop, set up at a different location each time.

2021 — jobs we can show you
A travelling arts centre touring halls and museums, a film unit at the Etihad, a school full of modular classrooms and a fourteen-foot-wide pool delivered to a property in Wigan.
11 documented jobs from 2021, each with the photograph it came from. Every job is one we actually did.
The record
What 2021 looked like
Each one is a job that happened, captioned with what it was.
A film unit at the Etihad
The crane holding a lighting rig for a night shoot outside the stadium. Not everything a hiab lifts is construction.
The same shoot, from the front
The rig held steady above the unit base while the shot is set up. The crane is the light stand.
Modular classrooms for a Manchester school
We supplied the modular buildings and craned them into place. The whole job runs in the school holidays or not at all.
A double cabin set-up
Delivering and installing a double cabin set-up, unit by unit.
The second unit landed
The upper unit landed on the lower one and bolted down. Stacking is a positioning job, not a lifting one.
Glamping pods on the move
Pods loaded out for delivery.
Getting Liverpool ready for a festival
A container set down in Liverpool city centre after dark, ahead of a festival weekend. Event work is nearly always out of hours.
Spotted at Kirkstone Pass
Between Windermere and Penrith, on one of the steepest passes in the country. Sent in by somebody who saw it go past.
The arts centre at the museum
The same travelling unit set down outside a red-brick museum on the next leg of its tour. It spends the year being lifted on and off, so the lifting points are known and the routine never changes.
The classroom landed
One of the school units coming down onto its base with the crew steadying it, the open end showing the fit-out inside.
The Wigan lift is on UK nationwide delivery with the rest of the wide-load work, because it says more about what the 855 will reach over than it does about 2021.
