EYE IN THE SKY
When the studio album ‘Eye in the Sky’ came out in 1982 it was an instant success for the progressive British rock band The Alan Parsons Project.
However, BMS Lifts could also use this title to describe the company’s business – not least the part taking place high above the ground when inspecting wind turbines. After performing numerous wind farm tasks on the European mainland, BMS Lifts started addressing the UK market in 2015.
At Blood Hill Wind Farm near the seaside resort Hemsby in Norfolk, England BMS helped ELEV8 Access Hire to carry out extensive inspection work and blade maintenance on the wind turbines.
Massive outreach in 65 metres working height was required and the BMS 90 metres machine could do the job easily with its unique performance of maximum 90 metre working height and 32.5 metre lateral outreach. The lift capacity of up to 600 kg made it perfect for carrying both people and material.
Blood Hill Wind Farm began operating almost 25 years ago and was one of the first wind farms in the United Kingdom.

Blood Hill Wind Farm began operating almost 25 years ago and was one of the first wind farms in the United Kingdom.
The original wind farm consisted of 10 turbines with a height of 30 meters and in 2000 it was expanded to include a much larger 65 meters turbine.
Further up north – at the foot of the Waternish Peninsula on the Isle of Skye in Scotland – BMS Lifts has supported ELEV8 Access Hire with another wind farm assignment. In this case one of the largest truck mounted lifts has carried out blade inspection work on some of the wind turbines of the Edinbane Wind Farm.
As the turbines here have a hub height of 84 metres and the rotors have a diameter of 82 metres, the 90-metre lift from BMS was the perfect fit to do the job most efficiently.
In the United Kingdom BMS is often working with partners asking for the company’s very big lifts, as there is not much capacity of that kind on the British Isles.
