Mass Group Ltd’s FASSI F545RA.2.26 L324 articulated crane removes a mural by the internationally renowned street artist Banksy from wall in Bristol
Bristol (UK) - The Bristol-based company Mass Group Ltd recently had the high-pressure job of removing a Banksy mural titled "Aachoo!!" from the side of a semi-detached house in the City. The artwork depicts a woman sneezing so hard that she loses her false teeth. Mass Group’s FASSI 545RA.2.26 with L324 jib was used to lift the work from the wall in mid-March after the house was sold. Coincidentally, the Italian art restorer Federico Borgogni was also on-hand to help. While Federico may be an expert in removing frescos, the FASSI crane was the perfect choice for this type of work as its versatility combined with power allows for greater manoeuvrability when lifting and transporting large items.
