Video: Glass replacement under a building projection

Heavydrive's technology and know-how were used for this glass replacement: With the MRK 144 S mini crane and the VSGU 1500 K vacuum suction unit, the Heavydrive team replaced a pane of glass weighing about 700 kg in a short time.

What was the special requirement for Heavydrive during the glass installation?

The glass element had to be lifted out from under a 1.5 metre deep projection. With the equipment used, the telescopic arm of the mini crane can be extended to 14.4 metres. Due to the experience of the team and the appropriate technology, the installation of the new pane went quite smoothly: The element was lifted in the middle and transported to the building.

A concrete surround concealed the window opening flush with the façade by about half a metre. Therefore, the operator had to thread the pane into the façade with millimetre precision. The panes were replaced by the Heavydrive team within just two hours.
