Another substantial investment has been made to GAP Developments’ project at Fort Cambridge with the purchase of four hoisting cabins, making the development the only project in Malta to make use of these machines.

Hoisting cabins (often known simply as ‘cages’) provide safer and more efficient vertical transportation of both materials and staff. The ‘cages’ are self-erecting and can carry a load of up to a total of two tons. They can travel a maximum of 200m, although at Fort Cambridge they will only be used to cover distances of a maximum of 64m.

Works on the freehold Fort Cambridge project is now entering its final stages. The project is on target for completion by the middle of 2011. Currently the south block has reached the seventh storey, while the other blocks have all reached the fifth. In the south block residents will be in a position to move in by the coming summer.
