Swiss 1000 t crawler crane lifts bridge sections in the greater Stuttgart area

Successful dismantling of the Great Pflugfelder Bridge in Kornwestheim, built in 1917

At the beginning of May, we were involved in the dismantling of the "Great Pflugfelder Bridge" in Kornwestheim. The truss bridge dates back to 1917 and crosses the tracks of an important shunting and transhipment yard in the greater Stuttgart area.

With our 1000 t crawler crane, we lifted out a total of three parts weighing up to 235 t.
After the short stay in Germany, the next construction sites on Swiss soil were already on the agenda.
We would like to thank our project partners for the order and the goal-oriented cooperation.

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.
