Let's engineer something special together
When it comes to mechanical handling, nothing scares us!
It won’t scare you either, when we’re with you every step of the way through solving your handling challenge.
Your project doesn’t need to be a multi-million pound dividing retractable football pitch, a moving roof at a famous tennis venue, or even a 125-tonne nuclear crane.
What makes our projects successful is the way we work with you; early client involvement, and the earlier the better!

Working with SCX
SCX is different.
We can take your handling solution from initial concept, right through design and build, to testing and final commissioning, and ongoing servicing and maintenance.
All of our capabilities are in-house, here at SCX, guiding you from concept to commissioning and beyond.
And throughout that process, our project management, document control and SHEQ teams will ensure the timely delivery of your handling solution, documented accordingly, and to the highest standards of quality.
All we ask is that you talk to us sooner rather than later.
We have often found that important decisions are taken before consultation with specialist engineers like SCX: decisions based on limited information that can negatively impact the effectiveness, operationally and financially, of your handling solution.
Early engagement with SCX means that our experienced mechanical, EC&I and safety engineers are able to analyse your handling challenge – and determine the most appropriate solutions – to a level that others are simply unable to reach.
