The University of Birmingham equipment relocation

BCL were contacted by the University of Birmingham to move an expensive piece of Laboratory equipment. The equipment was located above first floor and was shared by several laboratories of which one of the laboratories was about a 300 meter walk.

On first impressions the piece of equipment seemed nothing more than a very large microwave but after careful inspection and a thorough survey of which required a full Health and Safety assessment the piece of equipment not only turned out to be very expensive but also very heavy.

The equipment was located about 5 feet off the ground and weighed over 300kg of which would prove to be a challenging move within a small store room.

With the technical knowledge and skill of the BCL staff the equipment was successfully raised, lowered and transported to its new location in the laboratory using a specialist piece of equipment.

The laboratory staff really appreciated the assistance of BCL as they no longer needed to walk the 300 meters from one laboratory to another to complete their work.
