Hospital Lifts, Hot Tubs, and a New Crane in the Fleet – July 2025 Update
July was another packed month for KAS Crane & Hiab Hire, with projects spanning hospitals, holiday parks, retail spaces, and even residential hot tub installations. Here’s a look at some of the highlights from the month.
Precision Lifts for Hospitals Across Devon
July began with key healthcare projects:
- Royal Exeter Hospital – Working alongside Murch and Baker, our team carried out Air Handling Unit (AHU) lifts. These lifts require absolute precision to ensure safe placement and minimal disruption.
- North Devon Hospital – Our fleet was also on-site to erect steel for the new MRI building, helping to advance an important local healthcare upgrade.
Supporting local hospitals is always a point of pride for the KAS team — safety and reliability are at the heart of every lift.
Hot Tub Installations – Summer in Full Swing
It’s that time of year again when our Hiabs are busy with hot tub installations. This month, our new 110t Hiab demonstrated its impressive reach, lifting a hot tub into a tricky position with ease. These jobs are a great example of how our cranes support both residential and commercial projects.
New Grove 60t Crane Joins the Fleet
July marked the delivery of our new Grove 60t crane, a fantastic addition to our fleet. This upgrade expands our capability for a wider range of lifting projects across the Southwest, offering more flexibility for clients and faster response times for projects of all sizes.
Sunday Evening Lift at B&Q, Barnstaple
We also headed to Barnstaple’s popular B&Q store for a Sunday evening lift, completing the job outside of trading hours to avoid disruption. Efficient planning meant the store was ready for customers again the next morning.
Dawlish Caravan Lifts with Nick Sampson
July wrapped up with a trip to Dawlish, where we assisted Nick Sampson in lifting and positioning caravans. Careful planning and skilled operation ensured each caravan was safely placed, ready for the holiday season.
Looking Ahead
With summer continuing, our fleet remains in high demand across construction, healthcare, and leisure projects. Whether it’s a hot tub, a hospital lift, or a complex caravan placement, the KAS team is ready to deliver.
