Precision deployment at Polycontact in Chur

We successfully installed a new Mikron UCP 600 Vario milling center in the basement of the company building of Polycontact AG in Chur.

With a weight of 8 tons and dimensions of 310 x 250 x 260 cm, this was a challenging industrial relocation project that required the utmost precision and logistics expertise.

The machine was collected from the dealer in Nuremberg (Germany) and transported directly to Chur. Our tried-and-tested ESK 75 special crane was used on site to move the machining center to its intended location with millimetre precision.

The accessories were also brought in safely – all under the direction of our experienced team, which ensured smooth implementation on site.

A big thank you to our industrial relocation team for their professional support and to Polycontact AG for their trust in our services. Such projects show how versatile and reliable we are as a partner for demanding machine transportation and special removals.
