Meadows Engineering offers rental services for specialized equipment such as Acrow Props and Beam Lifters to contractors who require temporary falsework or the installation of heavy objects on construction and renovation sites. The strengths of the company’s services include flexible plans for equipment usage during only the necessary period and a prompt delivery system that can deliver to the site as early as the next day.
This article introduces rental services offered by Meadows Engineering, including their features and examples of rental products.
On construction or renovation sites, unforeseen structural issues or design changes may suddenly require the use of falsework.
In order to respond promptly to such situations, Meadows Engineering has established a system that can deliver necessary on-site equipment, including falsework products, as soon as the next day. The rental period can be flexibly set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. This allows for usage that suits the construction schedule, from short-term reinforcement work to long-term projects.
Delivery is available throughout the United Kingdom, allowing businesses operating in multiple locations to consolidate their equipment procurement processes through a single point of contact.
Meadows Engineering’s key strength lies in its integrated capability to handle the design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance of steel structures, supported by technical expertise developed through many years of experience.
It listens to the on-site conditions and work details from the client company, and proposes effective sizes and types of equipment after considering load calculations and the installation environment. In particular, the company is particularly valuable at sites requiring advanced safety management and precise work planning, such as the installation of openings in occupied residences, the erection of beams necessitating nighttime work, and operations in confined areas with limited access routes.
It is also possible to convey the details of the work and site conditions to Meadows Engineering and receive support in selecting equipment sizes that ensure both safety and work efficiency.
These are adjustable steel props used to temporarily support walls, beams, floors, and ceilings during construction or renovation work. They are used to safely support the load of the superstructure when creating new openings in existing walls.
Meadows Engineering offers a variety of sizes of Acrow Props, allowing selection based on the height of the site and the anticipated load. This helps reduce the risk of buckling caused by incorrectly sized props.
A compact lifting device used for safely raising and positioning heavy components such as steel beams (RSJ) or timber to the desired height. It is used for installation work in indoor areas where overhead cranes cannot be utilized, or in renovation sites with limited space.
By introducing the Beam Lifter, heavy lifting tasks that previously required multiple people can now be performed with fewer personnel. This reduces physical strain on workers caused by manual labor and minimizes risks such as falling parts, while enabling more precise positioning.
