EMIL EGGER – the right partners when things get tight and tricky

Placement of two grinding machines

Two grinding machines of 26 tons each were safely placed in their location by our team.

The challenge: In order to be able to bring in the machines safely and without danger on the upper floor, the location for the 300t pneumatic crane had to be created beforehand on the open field with Durabase floor slabs. With the greatest precision, the machines were then brought into the tightest of spaces. The action was under high time pressure as the insertion required a production shutdown.

In the end, of course, we did it again in exemplary fashion.
