Kraffter Machine Tools news

Moving large, complex machine tools is a crucial step in bringing them to market. At Kraffter Machine Tools, we know that this operation requires specialized know-how. Our qualified handlers have mastered the lifting techniques specific to each type of machine, ensuring safe and efficient handling.

Adapted lifting techniques

Each machine tool has its own characteristics, and each requires a specific handling method. Our teams carefully assess the type of machine to be moved, in order to select the most appropriate equipment. Whether it's for lifting, transporting or loading onto a truck, the choice of tools is decisive in ensuring the machine's safety and integrity.

Various handling equipment

Depending on the weight and structure of each machine, we use a variety of equipment:

• Roller conveyors: ideal for moving heavy machines over short distances, especially in confined spaces.
• Forklifts: suitable for the safe transport of machine tools requiring lateral lifting, when they cannot be suspended from an overhead crane.
• Overhead cranes: perfect for lifting heavy loads and fully adapted to the largest machines.

Some machines can be moved in a single operation, while others need to be dismantled in several parts. This flexibility is essential to ensure that every operation runs smoothly.

Safety first and foremost

Load distribution is always carried out with precision. Our handlers ensure that each machine is stable and secure before moving it. Safety is our top priority, and we do our utmost to minimize risks during every handling operation.

Our building is specially designed to meet the handling needs of large machine tools. Equipped with an overhead crane capable of lifting up to 20 tonnes, and offering a hook height of 8.30 metres, it enables us to handle imposing loads in complete safety.

In addition, we have two forklift trucks: one capable of lifting up to 8 tonnes for heavy loads, and the other up to 1.5 tonnes for lighter, more precise operations.
