Television Centre is a building complex in White City, West London, and one of the largest television centers in the world
Between 1960 to 2013 it was the headquarters of BBC Television: a cultural icon and landmark piece of modern architecture. Recently the White City was extended to a huge new residential and living district, including luxury apartments, offices, BBC television studios, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, gymnasium, shopping centre and educational environments
Television Centre features a central circular block around which are studios, offices, engineering areas and the News Centre. In the centre of the main block there’s a statue of Helios, the Greek god of the sun, to symbolise the radiation of television around the world.
A new Spider Lift from Palazzani Industrie has been recently supplied through its UK Dealer TCA Lfting Limited. It is a totally black XTJ 32 crawler version and Hybrid lithium-powered option. Equipped with a diesel engine and lithium batteries 24V 200A/h 5h, with battery charger 230V-24V 80 for all outdoor and indoor maintenance of the entire White City.
Lithium won over the lead-acid battery in the customer decision for the many advantages it grants: reduced encumbrance and weight with higher capacity, irrelevant self-discharging in case of non-use (less than 1% monthly), no suffer from lead-acid battery “memory effect”. Lithium battery doesn’t drastically loose in recharging capacity when the partial charge is repeated without the total recharging, no danger of liquid leakage, lower maintenance, faster recharging time, longer endurance
This model reaches 32 m in height and an important outreach of 14.5 m thanks to the telescopic boom and flying telescopic jib; in addition to the standard equipment, the machine has been fitted with ultra sensor anti-collision system on the cage, non-marking tracks, air/water supplementary line along the boom with internal hose, 330 kg of capacity in the basket. The Spider XTJ 32 will take care of all maintenance work outside and inside the buildings of the entire White City.
We sincerely thank our partner TCA Lifting Limited for this prestigious sale.
