The Brockholes Ecological Drawbridge Solution: Environmental sustainability is a core value for Yuken Europe, and their work on the Brockholes Ecological Drawbridge Solution exemplifies this commitment. Located in the heart of Lancashire, England, the Brockholes Nature Reserve required a drawbridge solution that would minimize the impact on the surrounding ecosystem. Yuken Europe’s team designed and implemented an innovative hydraulic system that allowed for smooth and efficient operation while prioritising the preservation of the delicate ecosystem. The project stands as a testament to Yuken Europe’s ability to deliver customised solutions that balance functionality and environmental consciousness.
