Liverpool Arena

Host to the opening ceremony of the Capital of Culture Year in January 2008, Echo Arena Liverpool will be the centre of entertainment for concert goers and sports enthusiasts across the North West and North Wales. Situated in the beautiful location of the Kings Dock on the River Mersey, it offers visitors a unique experience in one of the UK's most vibrant cities. 

UK Forks supplied telehandlers to the contractors that worked on this venue, Clipfine and Irvine Whitlock. Pictured below is Ian from Clipfine in one of our 7m machines, and how the completed Arena now looks, after completion.
