Lifting a canal boat from the water at Over Basin, Gloucester

Our workboat, Alder, is in need of some maintenance and had to come out of the water.
Although it was only moving a few metres within our own property it would have required a large, expensive crane to conduct the movement in one lift. The solution was to lift the boat onto a trailer, move it across the site, and lift it off again.
We contracted Russell Machinery Transport of Cheltenham to handle the move.

Love it! Everyone from the Trust are in high Vis and quite often wearing hard hats.Yet the guys from Russel Machinery, who are actually doing the work "in danger", are just dressed in normal work gear (non high Vis etc).

It was the same when the Truxor was on the wilts and berks, everyone on the banks wearing high vis and life jackets and the guy on the boat in his work clothes 😂
