Industrial Relocation

Fast-Track Factory Move: 60-Ton Hydraulic Press Installation

Project Overview: Relocating a heavy automotive manufacturing line from an old facility to a new high-tech plant within 48 hours to prevent production downtime.

The Challenge:

Extremely low ceiling clearances and a finished epoxy floor that could not be damaged by heavy equipment.

Engineering Solution:

• Equipment: A compact Terex AC 40 City crane and a system of heavy-duty hydraulic skates.
• Strategy: A tandem lift was executed to bring the press from a horizontal transport position to a vertical working position inside the hall.

Technical Specs:

• Load Weight: 62 Tons.
• Ceiling Clearance: Only 1.5 meters above the crane boom.
• Floor Protection: Specialized rubber-coated load distributors to protect the factory floor.

Result: The production line was operational by Monday morning, saving the client an estimated €250,000 in potential downtime.a
