Rent forklift up to 16 tons lifting capacity

Last weekend, the ETE employees performed an extraordinary feat. The starting signal for the operation was given on Friday morning at 4:00 am. At Pfungen railway station, we were able to move a pre-concreted pedestrian subway including the associated stair and ramp elements up to 170 t with our 1000 t Liebherr LR 11000 crawler crane.

The LR 11000 was erected for the placement of a 190-tonne passenger subway at Martigny railway station in the Valais. The parts of the giant crane were delivered with 25 tugs and assembled with a mobile crane.

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.

At the end of March, a violent storm blew a three-car train composition off the tracks in Lüscherz, Bern. Of the 16 passengers on the train at the time, three were injured. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries. EMIL EGGER AG was entrusted with the rescue.

Algordanza AG is the only manufacturer of memorial diamonds worldwide. From the urn ashes of the deceased, a diamond is created that can always be carried with you and is everlasting. The isolation of the carbon, by means of a chemical process is carried out in the Swiss laboratory by experienced laboratory technicians. To enable crystal synthesis, conditions must be created as in the earth’s interior. Diamonds are formed by pressure and high temperatures. This is simulated by HPHT (High Pressure – High Temperature) presses and allows the memory diamonds to be created.

From 7 to 10 March, Bern will be the venue for the Swiss machinery and manufacturing industry. This is also an important moment for EMIL EGGER AG. We can be found with our special electric crane ESK 30 in Hall 2.0 on Stand F01. Our industrial relocation professionals are looking forward to numerous visits.

Numerous onlookers followed the work of replacing the 60-year-old beaver bridge in Biberbrugg from September 30 to October 2. Toneatti AG, together with subcontractors such as EMIL EGGER, carried out the long-planned work. After dismantling the old bridge, the new one, 17 m long and weighing 240 tons, was then set with millimeter precision.

Several cranes from the EMIL EGGER fleet were deployed in the Engadine to ensure smooth assembly: an 80-ton crane, a 100-ton pneu crane and, in some cases, a 250-ton mobile crane with a hook height of over 90 meters.
