Relocation of heavy machinery in the Sauerland region

Once again this was tight!

Actually the job was to move some compactors up to a weight of 11 tonnes on an industrial site. As usual, we had to deal with confined space conditions. First problem was, that the machines were too high to simply be moved from one building into another. This made it necessary to put the machines on their side before they could be moved. In this case, some of the factory gates had a height of only 2.65 meters, which mostly is too narrow for cranes and forklifts of that size. Luckily „Hubert“, who took part in this mission too, is only 2.52 meters high. Our „Bakran“ is in fact 2.74 meters high but fortunately we are able to dismantle the upper part of the cabin, which reduces its height to 2.51 meters
