EMIL EGGER builds in Bassersdorf

We are pleased to inform our customers and partners about the traffic restrictions on working days for trucks in the 1st quarter of 2023.

In 2016, Bystronic Laser AG started the cooperation with EMIL EGGER. What began with simple warehouse logistics has developed over the last few years into trained and process-oriented production logistics.

Numerous onlookers followed the work of replacing the 60-year-old beaver bridge in Biberbrugg from September 30 to October 2. Toneatti AG, together with subcontractors such as EMIL EGGER, carried out the long-planned work. After dismantling the old bridge, the new one, 17 m long and weighing 240 tons, was then set with millimeter precision.

Several cranes from the EMIL EGGER fleet were deployed in the Engadine to ensure smooth assembly: an 80-ton crane, a 100-ton pneu crane and, in some cases, a 250-ton mobile crane with a hook height of over 90 meters.

Tadano AC 7.450-1 mobile crane in operation on a high-rise construction site in Dübendorf. Due to the confined space, a compactly built crane with enormous lifting height was required, which can erect construction cranes up to 100 m.

Our specialty, in addition to the 24-hour distribution service in Switzerland, is the transportation of special sized cargo.

With our powerful truck-mounted cranes (20 to 100 m/t lifting capacity), we not only transport your goods, but at the same time ensure that they are loaded or unloaded independently. Thanks to the comprehensive equipment and well-trained drivers, we also place the transported goods at the desired location with pinpoint accuracy, if desired.

On Sunday, July 17, 2022, a train of the Appenzeller Bahnen derailed in Wasserauen after colliding with a car. To help the railcar back onto the tracks, EMIL EGGER was quickly on the scene with two mobile cranes.

In addition to handling all general cargo formats, whether pallets, packages or long goods, EMIL EGGER AG has a good network that enables efficient transports throughout Switzerland and abroad. We also transport dangerous goods safely and in accordance with regulations.

The wood used for the construction of the tower comes directly from the hardwood forest. Approximately 310 cubic meters of wood were processed. The whole tower weighs a total of 190 tons. The challenge of stacking the weighty and large prefabricated elements of 42 tons each on top of each other was solved by means of crane work by EMIL EGGER AG. The modules were mounted on top of each other in three lifts up to a height of 42 m by means of a 450-tonne pneumatic crane.
