CASE STUDY: The White Stork Project
How Ashdown Spider Lift Helps The White Stork Project at Knepp Wilding
At the heart of West Sussex lies Knepp Wilding, one of Europe’s most celebrated rewilding sites, and home to the White Stork Project, a groundbreaking conservation initiative.
When the project team needed elevated access to tag and monitor newly hatched chicks without damaging sensitive habitats below, they turned to Ashdown Spider Lift Hire.
The Challenge
- Gain access to the nests too difficult to climb to
- Remote off-road locations for the Spider Lift to get to
- Tight working space near wildlife fencing & vegetation
- Work needed to be fast, non-disruptive & 100% safe
The Solution
We deployed our Teupen Leo 21 GT with its non-marking rubber tracks and low ground pressure, designed specifically for sensitive access situations.
The machine was guided into position using rubber matting, with full IPAF-certified operator control. We completed the work in under a day, with no environmental impact.
- Soft-ground compliant
- Precise access at height
- Safe and stable platform
- Wildlife-friendly operation
“We are hugely grateful to John Ginn from Ashdown Spider Lift who not only let us borrow his fantastic spider lift machine to access the nests, but also treated a couple of the volunteers to a quick and beautiful evening view of the Knepp Estate from nearly 30 metres”
