Crane hand in action with the special crane from EMIL EGGER

Crane work in confined spaces

We had the exciting task of moving the façade supports with our special ESK 30 crane and the attached crane hand with millimeter precision on a nearly completed building.

This challenging task required picking up the 7-metre-long supports weighing up to 2.6 tons from the ground and turning them 90° to place them under the finished balconies. The work, which took place just 1 cm from the finished windows and soffits, was supported by 2 aerial work platforms.

With the crane hand, which ETE developed together with partners, we have an extremely flexible lifting device that allows the installation of parts weighing up to 10 tons in places that were previously inaccessible with a crane.

The crane hand is particularly suitable for special assemblies and is also used for numerous industrial relocations. It can be mounted on our two electric ESK 30 cranes and the largest special crane in Switzerland, the ESK 75, in our fleet. One of the ESK 30s can also drive on non-asphalted surfaces, which further increases the range of applications.

The Hawker Hunter aeroplane is safely back at the Hunter association Obersimmental
Until a few years ago, the former Hunter fighter aircraft of the Swiss Air Force were among the highlights at airshows in Switzerland. So was the Papyrus Hunter. The jet has been looked after and maintained by the Hunter association Obersimmental for many years. Unfortunately, the increasingly strict regulations became its downfall. In autumn 2023, the Papyrus was flown over to Altenrhein for its annual inspection. It was no longer allowed to take off from there.
