The ski museum at Holmenkollen in Oslo is a testament to the rich history of skiing. In order to equip the historic building with a modern glass facade, a demanding glass installation was required, which was preceded by precise planning. Under extreme weather conditions and time pressure, a team from Heavydrive then carried out the installation of 40 large, heavy glass elements.
With the patented vacuum handling devices of the Grabo series, manufacturer Nemo Power Tools has developed a versatile electric tool for use on construction sites and in workshops.

Here you can find out what the supplier will be showing at Fensterbau in Nuremberg starting tomorrow.
In the construction of high-rise buildings, structural ducts and facade glass often have to be installed under the ‘moving’ scaffolding structure and under building projections. This is often complex. We show which solutions are available to simplify such installations.
The former euroTech Vertriebs GmbH is now starting the new year with vigour under the new name "euroTech Handling GmbH". The change in the company name emphasises the further development as a specialist for handling solutions and marks the expansion of the range of services beyond vacuum technology.

The spectacular installation of a mega window for a luxury hotel in Rovinj in Croatia was carried out with the help of a Heavydrive suction system. With its dimensions of 15 metres in length, 3.2 metres in height and weighing 5.2 tonnes, the glass pane posed an enormous challenge for the fitters.
euroTech’s new attachment module for telescopic loaders and loader cranes eT-Litocran700 combines the features of a telescopic loader with the fine control of a vacuum lifter. Here are the details on how it works.

The TGT Robby 2000, which can lift loads of up to 2000 kg, is a brand new addition to our product range. Equipped with a crane hook, it has a working height of approx. 7.5 metres and a horizontal reach of over 5 metres. With a flyjib it reaches a working height of over 8.4 metres. The TGT Robby 2000 is a pick and carry unit that does not require supports during installation.

Positive news from the German window market, VIG out-performs triple IGUs, vacuum lifting without ugly marks and a new vertical edge processing machine. Here are our top stories of the week:
When glass panes are used in the glass and window industry, vacuum cups are usually used. It is not uncommon for everything to seem fine at first after the glass has been installed, but when the glass pane condenses, suction marks become visible that cannot be easily removed. To avoid this, euroTech has developed a suction plate cover. GW-News wanted to know from Head of Sales, Michael Renger, how this works.
An unusual installation in the Swiss mountains: A house at 2000 m above sea level required the installation of a glass plate weighing 2 tonnes. See in this video of the installation how a special vacuum lifter was able to help get the job done:
For a glass processor to have invested in lifting equipment would not, on the face of it, seem newsworthy. However, this purchase marks the 2.500th sale of an Easy-Lifter glass lifting machine for Glaston.
