Cradle Runways History

Cradle Runways was founded more than 50 years ago in Brockley, UK when a couple of young engineers recognised the growing demand for the need to access the tall buildings being erected on London's bomb sites. It was registered in March 1956 with OCS taking a part share in the business in 1959.

The company follows the simple rule of "if you can't touch it you can't clean it", it remains at the heart of all design development.

It continues to offer a well designed, easy to operate and easy to maintain product at the lowest possible price without compromising safety and quality.
