Old coping stones waste being loaded into Jewson one tonne bags

Hooka renovates Canal Lock:

The Hooka has just helped out on a major 10 week project with the Canals and River Trust – refurbishing the Worcester basin lock. At only 1 metre wide, but with her stable track base and unique Load-lock technology – which guarantees machine stability by physically ‘locking’ the payload to the machine – she had no problem tracking on the narrow / uneven towpaths.

Histon Pool fill - Up ramp

Hooka turns Swimming Pool into Vegetable Patch:

Jon, a landscape gardener, had looked at the job of filling in an unwanted swimming pool and turning it into a vegetable patch at a house in Histon, Cambridgeshire. It was not going to be a project for the faint hearted as the access to the rear of the property was not only very narrow (1.2m).

Hospice - Tight drop

Hooka comes to Hospice rescue:

The new Norfolk Hospice was almost completed when the Hooka team received an SOS call from the Block Paving crew working in the enclosed central courtyard. They needed 14 pallets of paving distributed within the courtyard so the laying team, who were already waiting on site, could get to work.

In action, Beam lift, Half lift, side view

Hooka takes I-Beam to the next level:

The Hooka recently demonstrated her incredible versatility by taking on the challenge of both transporting and installing a 6 metre long (600kg) I-Beam. The job specification was to transport the I-Beam through a 1.1 metre wide access point and then around a tight corner to reach the rear of the property. The beam was then to be installed directly into an existing wall structure to support a lean-to extension.
