Architect: Allies and Morrison
Main contractor: Sir Robert McAlpine
TCA Lifting supplied a Maeda MC405 mini crane which was used extensively throughout the stunning transformation of Arsenal's Highbury Stadium from football stadium to luxury apartments. The impressive development closely resembles Highbury Stadium respecting its heritage. The apartments are constructed in the same location as the four old stands and the pitch has been converted into a wonderful garden area. The best description of the Maeda mini crane came from the operator, "I've been using cranes for 20-years and this is best crane I have ever used'! The smooth, refined power of the Maeda MC405 was appreciated by the operator and installers alike. TCA Lifting also supplied a Palazzani TSJ34 which was successfully used for a variety of jobs throughout the construction. The TSJ34 is a favourite among users because of its smooth stable operation and incredible working envelope. Since completion of the impressive project TCA Lifting has provided several Palazzani spiders for routine maintenance and repair.
