Universal send Spider to Channel Four television to help install the new sign on the companys' forecourt.

Universal Aerial Platforms recently worked alongside Mike Smith Studios to help install Channel 4’s impressive new ‘Big 4’ sign, situated on the forecourt of the famous television centres headquarters.

The steel sign measures a huge 16.6m in height, has a footprint of around 12.2m, took three months to build and five days to piece together. Initially a crane was used to lift the beams into place and the 22m Spider to position and secure them.

The Spider has been used in a number of similar situations where a combination of height, accurate movement and narrow jacking are required and where space and movement aren’t at a premium.
