BM TRADA gets medieval at Warwick Castle
BM TRADA IS PROVING that no job is too big – or too historic – with its annual safety inspection of the world’s largest wooden trebuchet.
Based on drawings from the 13th century, the timber trebuchet at historic Warwick Castle stands 18 metres high and weighs a massive 22 tonnes.
Positioned in a stunning riverside location below the south front of the castle, the trebuchet propels projectiles 25 metres into the air and sends them hurtling up to 300 metres.
The design for the castle’s machine comes from Dr Peter Vemming from The Mediaeval Centre in Nykobing, Denmark. Dr Vemming completed his first construction of the medieval trebuchet in 1989, following extensive research and preparation.
