Mega Fortris offers a range of lifting slings that provide many different features with the capacity to be used on a diverse range of applications. One of the applications our slings provide excellent support for is the timber and construction sector. In specific the timber frame systems that are utilised to support the building of houses and other structures. This is a rapidly growing market that has contributed to the overall housebuilding sector in the UK increasing by 2.5% in 2020. This accounts for timber homes revenue reaching £800 million in 2020.
This large growth of this construction method is expected to continue, with a predicted £40m growth per year through to 2024. This is a result of the cost cutting and efficiency this method provides to the house construction industry. Namely the reduced time of constructions, as well as a reduction in the need for higher skilled tradesmen all due to a large amount of the timber constructions taking place off site. This also allows higher quality control before construction begins, in addition to reduction of wasted materials that can be a result of a longer construction process. This is especially important as this reduced time and materials makes this method far more eco-friendly hence the popularity in recent years. However, this does leave increased requirements when it comes to assembling these prebuilt constructions on site, such as lifting these large constructions into place. Utilising the right lifting sling for each part of this process is essential to allow maximum efficiency while avoiding damage to the structure. Here at Mega Fortris we provide lifting slings with a variety of sizes, functions and lifting strengths to fit your needs.
