The challenge

At short notice we were asked to dismantle 4 presses with a weight of 40 tons at the company DURA in the Sauerland and subsequently store them temporarily in our warehouse in Witten.

Day 1: Wednesday

In the early evening of April 8, we reached the destination. In the rear part of a factory building we found the 4 presses. Get to work. Shortly before midnight, the first presses were dismantled and turned over. The loading and the removal should be carried out the next morning.

Day 2: Thursday

The night's rest was of short duration. Already around 6:00 clock, we continued the dismantling. The lift crane for the loading of the presses before the factory hall was already in place and in position. Until the early evening all presses should be dismantled, turned over, moved through the production halls and loaded on low loaders.
