Lifting operations industry, What exactly we do
We specialize in lifting heavy industrial machinery. When ordinary means fall short, we lift and move heavy machines to their place. Often this involves moving the machines to a new location, but this can also be an internal move.
Virtually every industrial-scale move—whether internal or external—requires specialized lifting operations. This may involve maneuvering in tight spaces, navigating around running machinery and personnel on the job, and using specialized lifting equipment.
This is how we ensure the safety of our staff and equipment. Are you looking for an experienced partner for your lifting operations? Then contact us to discuss the options!
Lifting industry both indoor and outdoor
We provide vertical transport in a diversity of lifting operations, for both internal and external movements, for this we use an extensive range of lifting equipment to ensure security and safety. Our extensive range of lifting equipment can be equipped with a wide range of auxiliary materials.
Hoisting work inside
Hoisting indoors and outdoors brings its own challenges. Indoor hoisting often means tight spaces. Limited room to move and height, and there are often all kinds of other machinery or pipes in the way. There are many more challenges that must be taken into account, and in addition, each project is unique with unique challenges that require unique solutions.
Outdoor hoisting takes place on open ground or outside a building. Here we often have more space for larger cranes, but here other factors become important. For example, we have to consider the surroundings. Traffic, passersby, obtaining permits for road closures and other outdoor obstacles such as trees or lampposts.
What industries we work for
Our lifting operations are used in a variety of industries. In the industrial sector such as: metal, plastic, or chemical industries, we help move and install heavy machinery or factory parts.
In the food industry, we hoist machines in production environments where hygiene is a top priority and has very strict requirements. In the pharmaceutical industry, we work with lab and process equipment that is often not only heavy, but also costly and fragile.
Each industry has its own concerns, for example, an active manufacturing environment needs tight scheduling so as not to interfere with operations, while the pharmaceutical industry has strict protocols and cleaning requirements.
These are some examples of sectors we work in. From the beginning of Nedmove until now we have been working in many different sectors, here only the most “known” sectors are mentioned. Would you like to know what the possibilities are for your sector? Then please contact us.
What machines we hoist
We can lift a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment. The most common types of machinery are:
Heavy production machines such as: presses, milling and CNC machines, large motors or generators, and even complete production lines. Hoisting a large printing press or assembly line out of a printing plant is also among the possibilities.
In the logistics industry, we move heavy warehouse equipment, such as conveyor belts or storage racks, if they need to be moved. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, for example, we lift stainless steel mixing kettles, packaging or filling machines and other equipment that must be handled very carefully.
In addition to hoisting machinery, we also perform other hoisting work:
- Assembling machines using hydraulic lifting systems, even in places where a crane cannot reach
- Lifting Very Large Tanks and Plant Components
- Erecting Tall Masts and Structures
- Small-scale lifting, for when a crane isn't necessary but there isn't enough manpower
Virtually any object that is too large and/or heavy to move with manpower or a standard forklift, we can safely lift and position with lifting equipment.
The lifting equipment we use
Mobile hydraulic cranes for lifting operations industry
In doing so, we have at our disposal a modern fleet of cranes with the capacities of 35 to 250 tons. Do you need a mobile crane for a job? For reliable, safe and high-quality mobile cranes and mobile lifting work, you can turn to Nedmove. Nedmove is engaged in various activities and has developed into the specialist in the field of mobile lifting. Do you need cranes for hoisting, lifting and transporting? We have experience with the very largest projects and offer a total package for lifting work. You can always rely on innovative solutions, correct execution and expert guidance for lifting operations.
Mobile tower cranes for lifting operations industry
Given the relatively short set-up time and the fact that these types of cranes are ideally suited for moving the load over a long distance where an arrangement in a limited space is possible by means of boom lengths from 30 to 60 meters.
Aerial platforms for lifting operations industry
For the purpose of work at height requiring a stable and safe working platform such as replacing awnings or the/assembly of antennas and structures up to a working height of 61 meters.
These are some of our resources that we use in our lifting operations, if you would like to know more about this, you can always contact us.
How do we prepare lifting operations?
Proper preparation is essential in lifting operations. Before lifting, we carry out a thorough risk inventory and planning. We often start with an inspection of the site and the situation: where is the machine located? Where should the machine be located? How much space is there? What is the surface like? Are there any obstacles or hazards?
Then comes the inspection for our lifting equipment: is there enough maneuvering room for the crane? Do machines need to be covered or temporarily moved? Are there low-hanging pipes, sensitive installations or other issues that need to be considered?
Based on the answers to these questions (the inventory), we create a comprehensive and accurate lifting plan. This describes exactly how we will perform the lifting work. Of course, our plan also takes into account timing, such as whether it has to be done during a planned production stop or at the weekend. This plan ensures that everyone involved knows what is going to happen and when it is going to happen.
For more complex projects, we can also prepare a comprehensive project plan that includes, in addition to the lifting itself, such things as transportation, (dis)assembly of the machine and any temporary storage.
How do we ensure safety during lifting operations in the industry?
Across all sectors, safety and the continuity of business processes are top priorities. We tailor our approach to the various sectors and unique situations. For example, in a food or pharmaceutical plant, we’ll take extra care to work cleanly and ensure that no oil or dirt is left behind. In heavy industrial environments, on the other hand, we focus on health, safety, and security requirements.
We work with well-trained, certified professionals. Our crane operators have the necessary diplomas and certifications, and the riggers (the lifting specialists who attach and guide the load) are also experienced professionals. Our experience in all these industries allows us to hoist efficiently and responsibly.
In addition, all of our equipment is inspected and properly maintained. We regularly have our cranes, hoists, lifting belts and other lifting equipment inspected and tested in accordance with current safety requirements.
In doing so, we always follow a strict lifting plan that we have developed after conducting a thorough risk assessment. This allows us to minimize all risks and ensure the safety of both personnel and equipment. Are you looking for an experienced partner to safely carry out your lifting operations?
