Spray booth and finishing line specialist, Gallito Ltd, has commissioned one of its largest ever shotblasting and painting facilities. The construction will handle giant crane sections for leading tower crane rental company Falcon Crane Hire. Norfolk-based Falcon Crane Hire specialises in the hire and sale of tower cranes, supplying to sites throughout the UK and beyond. Falcon hires equipment ranging from lifting tackle to giant tower cranes - up to 150 metres tall and capable of lifting 3.5 tonnes over 85 metres. At its base in Thetford, a key element in the control regime operated by Falcon Crane Hire is the rigorous examination of all crane components returning from site, ensuring that any equipment defects are identified and corrected before cranes go back out on hire. This includes the full inspection and overhaul of all fabricated sections such as booms, jibs and steel frames. Included within the refurbishment procedure is the abrasive shotblasting of fabrications; stripping the existing paintwork to allow inspection of all welds, and to prepare components for repainting.
