Special transport Basel: EMIL EGGER brings 50-ton boathouse to its destination

A heavy transport of superlatives!

This week, EMIL EGGER was able to realize a very special project in Basel: The transportation of the new boathouse for the emergency services of the canton of Baselland.

With a width of over 15 meters, a length of almost 17 meters and a height of 9 meters, the 50-ton structure exceeds all usual dimensions.

The boathouse was first assembled with an EMIL EGGER crane directly at the port of Birsfelden – then brought to the quay wall on a special transporter and precisely lowered into the water with two cranes.

A complex project with many challenges – exactly what we love.

Many thanks to all partners and participants for the smooth cooperation and the successful outcome!
