It went through the roof

During summer 2021, we got called to relocate several production facilities and many machines – with a weight of up to 18 tonnes each – to a new building at Hans Eberle AG in Ennenda GL.

The heavy manufacturing equipment on the upper floor was moved under an opening in the roof, where it got lifted out machine by machine with a truck-mounted crane and placed directly on our Barrele (platform, 20t) in front of the building. With our forklifts (up to 36t lifting capacity) and on a trailer, the transported goods were moved to the new building and lifted again on our platform by the mobile crane to the opening on the upper floor.

By using Habegger cable hoists, we pulled the machines from the Barelle into the building, moved them to the final installation site according to the customer’s layout, aligned them and restored operational readiness.
