Bell Equipment’s Ultimate Canopy Solution

Explore how Shield Canopy delivered reliable, year-round cover for Bell Equipment's vehicle maintenance needs.

Located in Burton-on-Trent, Bell Equipment specialises in supplying articulated dump trucks for the earth-moving and quarrying industries. Given the large scale of these vehicles, they required a canopy that offered generous width and height clearance.

The McGregor team collaborated with Bell Equipment to design and install a multi-bay container canopy, providing valuable outdoor cover for vehicle maintenance, repairs, and storage. We recommended a stock 12.2-metre wide canopy, providing a maximum clearance of 6.16 metres. This design works perfectly as a covered service bay and vehicle workshop, offering engineers a comfortable and efficient environment to carry out their work.

A key feature of the Shield Canopy is its modular design, which allows for flexibility and expansion with minimal investment. Additional bays can be easily connected to an existing setup, or the structure can be specified as a multi-bay from the outset, as seen in Bell Equipment's case.

To enhance the workspace further, the Shield Canopy features a translucent light strip integrated into the PVC canopy, allowing natural light to filter into the space. Bell Equipment took it a step further, adding electrical wiring and spot lamps to the canopy framework. This customisation ensures that Bell Equipment has a well-lit, functional space that supports its operational needs year-round.

It’s improved our engineers’ working conditions. They now have a dry, lit, additional workspace out of the elements. It’s allowed us to do jobs that we wouldn't have normally been able to do. The McGregor team have been the easiest people in the world to work with. No issues with them, no issues recommending them.
