Printing Press Installation - Vanguard installed nine Man Roland Uniset towers for Media24. Each tower consisted of two half decks, walkways, rollers, and folders, and weighed approximately 22t. The towers were craned onto a pre-assembled platform on the first floor, rigged in sideways, placed on rails and traversed down the length of the hall. Hydraulic gantries then lifted them into final position on press slabs.

In addition to the use of its hydraulic gantries, the company also used its self powered diesel hydraulic power pack – ideal for use in remote locations – to jack the pieces 1,3m off of the ground and slide onto lowbed trailers using the jack and slide method.
