On behalf of Burckhardt Compression AG, Winterthur, we were allowed to lift a 280 t compressor from the production site in Winterthur with our 500 t lifting system, move it and then load it onto our 18-axle special low-loader. With a total weight of more than 420 t and a total length of almost 60 m, including the two impact vehicles, we then drove along cantonal roads in the direction of Auhafen/Basel.

42 m high observation tower was completed in three strokes

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.
