Silo Crane in Lyon

A precision intervention with Manudem Rhône-Alpes, a specialist in lifting and heavy handling.

Lifting service in the agri-food industrial sector near Lyon

Last November, our two handling and lifting agencies in the Lyon region worked together to carry out a crane service in the agri-food industry.

Our client located near Lyon (French leader in the manufacture of frozen pastries, Manufacture of 50000 croissants per hour), asked us to set up and handle a sugar silo.

Management of the technical constraints of lifting:

Our handling and lifting experts have anticipated and prevented the technical constraints related to the lifting of the silo in order to prevent it from rolling on itself during handling.

Effective and relevant solutions were then found by our lifting specialists near LYON by opting for a collaboration strategy between our two handling agencies, Manudem Rhône Alpes et Mercier Lavault.

A lifting operation carried out in perfect cohesion

Our specialist's words:

"After discussions with our crane operator, we decided to lift the silo using our two cranes and place it on the ground on its cradles, in a 1st step.

Once the silo was on the ground, we took it in a basket with the boat slings to relieve it slightly from the cradles with the help of our self-propelled crane and the 70t crane of our Crane Arm truck. We slid the silo slightly to rotate it to be in the lifting position.

Once the lifting rings were in the horizontal axis, we were able to lift the silo with two cranes."

The operation went perfectly according to the forecasts of our handling and lifting experts near Lyon, who were able to combine their material and human resources to achieve this complex handling operation in the Lyon region.
