CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
This large press required specialized equipment and labor to complete this installation. These resources were unavailable to the customer to complete this job efficiently and safely. There are only 7 Nieland 1000 SBP’s sold and installed globally, each year, making this a unique installation.
OUR SOLUTION
We used our specialized 65-ton trilifter to complete this install, which was the most efficient and cost-effective way to execute this job. We were able to control cost by using one piece of specialty equipment, rather than multiple different pieces of equipment for each move. We also installed an overhead crane while on site with our specialty equipment.
