As part of a modernisation project at Lindt & Sprüngli (Schweiz) AG in Kilchberg on Lake Zurich, we brought eight rollers, each weighing 8.5 tonnes, into the production facilities. We brought them in through a window with a high parapet. To overcome this, we constructed a temporary platform.
We delivered the rollers just-in-time from our heavy goods warehouse in Elgg and lifted them onto the platform using our lorry-mounted crane. Inside the building, we moved the heavy machines from the platform to the floor in a tandem lift using our hydraulic lifting columns and lorry-mounted crane.
Finally, we pushed the rollers to their final location on heavy-duty rollers and placed them on a landing on the corresponding foundation. Our experienced technicians actively supported the factory’s assembly team during installation and levelling.
