By Day …

BAUBERGER AG is active internationally day and night – whether the task is at sea level or at 3,000 meter above sea level.

An experienced team of two to four men handle jobs that entail moving large tonnages precisely and with as little interruption of production operations as possible. One such job involved moving a Dieffenbacher hydraulic press in the Canton of Aargau in late April 2015.

Step one was to remove the accessory parts of the old 87-ton hydraulic press: electrical control cabinets, hydraulic unit, hydraulic tank, platform, handrails, and sundry small parts. Then the machine body was laid down horizontally by four hydraulic column lifts and loaded directly on the transport vehicle to be taken to a new site for installation.
