Engine gets a smooth move
October 1st 2009

A Linde heavy duty forklift ensured a smooth lift for the team rebuilding a very special engine for the historic Deltic Diesel locomotive 'Royal Scots Grey'. Colin Davison, an area sales manager at Linde Castle, is part of the small band of volunteers who maintain the locomotive. To handle the awkward object, Davison persuaded his MD, Richard Heward, to sell an ex-rental Linde H80D to Martin Walker, owner of Beaver Sports and the Deltic 55022.

"The Linde H80D with its hydrostatic transmission and smooth control ensured the engine move went very well," said Mr Walker. "The Deltic engine is very top heavy and could quite easily tip over, but the whole process went very smoothly.

The forklift gave us more flexibility – and is cheaper than hiring in a mobile crane."
