Sophisticated project logistics at HARDER logistics – They recently “removed”, as it is called in logistics jargon, 13 mixing units used in the cosmetics industry, each weighing 5 tonnes, from a factory. The challenge: a false ceiling was installed around the mixing units.
They approached the project in three steps.
Step 1:
HARDER installed a hydraulic lifting system on the floor on top and used it to lift the mixing plants to the floor above.
Step 2:
On the upper floor, the mixing plant was placed on its side, as it did not fit through the façade when standing upright.
Step 3:
With the support of their assembly platform, the heavy weights were craned out of the building using a truck-mounted crane.
This spectacular removing of the mixing units was only one part within a factory relocation from Germany to Poland and Spain. The entire project was realized with 12 employees in two phases of 5 weeks each. The freight volume, which also included 3 complete filling lines, comprised 30 truckloads.
