INVESTMENT IN EFFICIENCY
Petra has invested in its own tools and equipment to make carrying out their work more efficient, fast and cost effective. Hire Companies do not exist in Corfu, except for a couple of small ones that supply hand tools which often fail to work. Also, the companies also do not provide a delivery and pick up service.

SCISSOR LIFT
These are useful tools where access to a house is a problem. With this equipment we can lift 200kg of cement, bricks, tiles etc. from the ground floor up to a second floor window, and also lower materials from a site. An added advantage is that they can be used as a platform for workers to operate at a height safely.


DUMPERS
These machines (we have four in total with different capabilities) have proven to be invaluable on sites. They can, as you can see in the pictures remove a considerable amount of material around a site, thus saving countless trips with a wheelbarrow. And of course the dumpers can take heavy material up a slope, which a wheelbarrow can’t.


EXCAVATOR
This machine is totally versatile in that it can fit through the front door of a house, and then excavate material from inside using a variety of buckets. With it’s hammer attachment it is capable of breaking rock and knocking down walls. When used in tandem with the mini dumpers, a week’s worth of manual labour can be completed in as little as an hour.


JCB
This is our latest addition. This piece of machinery can lift building materials right up to a house, alleviating access problems which frequently occur with village houses being so close together. Also, the JCB can be used as an effective earth mover, again where access is poor, yet there is still a large volume of material that will still have to be moved to a lorry. The boom extends out to 17 m and carries up to 4 tons. The only machine of its kind in the island and it can be rented from us along with an operator to handle your materials.


TRUCKS
We have a variety of vehicles for delivering and transporting our tools to our sites. These gives us independence and means we are not reliant on other companies to deliver goods on time and thus increases our efficiency.


PLANT AND POWER TOOLS
We have many smaller tools to aid greater efficiency including; diamond blade saws and core drills, a high pressure water blaster, floor sanders, compressors, jack hammers, laser level tools, generators and many others to deliver a fast, cost effective service.


RENDERING
A new revolutionary rendering system is in our list of specialist tools. Now the render and plaster can be delivered up to a hundred meters to the site through the pipes of this high pressure air spray machine. The render is pressure sprayed onto the walls making the job faster, stonger and more efficient saving money and time.
