Coordinated transport and lifting technology for extremely heavy loads
The Project Management division employs first-class transport and lifting technology to move extremely heavy items such as columns, reactors for the petrochemicals industry and other large steel structures. These projects are often the product of several months of transport and lifting engineering analysis, during which the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly combination of rail, road and water transport methods is found and the right lifting technology coordinated.
Lifting devices are most commonly used for the grand finale of spectacular heavy-haulage projects. These can include crawler cranes with a maximum load capacity of 1,000 tonnes or towerlift units with strand jacks and lift frames.
These projects may vary in scope but they all have one thing in common – they frequently bring man and machine together and push them to the bounds of possibility.
