We left no one hanging

We recently dismantled two overhead crane systems, each weighing approximately 25 tonnes, for SBB at a hydroelectric power plant. Each system consisted of a 12-ton hoist unit, a 10-ton crane bridge measuring 12 metres in length, and two 3-tonne trolleys.

As a first step, we positioned the Hubylift-75 and the support stands beneath the first overhead crane. The crane was then lifted, securely fixed onto auxiliary beams and the Hubylift, and properly strapped down. After a controlled lift of just a few centimetres, the hydraulic cylinders were protected with fire blankets. Once the oxy-fuel cutting work had been completed, we lowered the crane and transported it out of the building using the Hubylift.
