Hydraulic and electric drive solutions

Specialists in solving wide-ranging mechanical engineering problems

MacTaggart Scott is able to leverage from the worldwide naval experience we have to solve specialist engineering challenges in the civil world. Our experience gives us (and the customer) the edge when there are difficult lifting and handling challenges to be met, such as bridge lifts where we have supplied equipment to Tower Bridge or operation of flood defence barriers where we have supplied equipment to both Canvey Island and the Thames Barrier schemes.

This optimal result is achieved by combining the strengths of a creative modern engineering team with the latest developments in materials and manufacturing techniques together with a 'lifetime' of experience in the marine environment.
