Print Press Installation – Europa Showfreight – Norwich

Have you ever wondered how big, heavy machinery or exhibition pieces get into tight spaces in factories, museums, shopping centres etc? Not to mention how they travel there in the first place? 

 

We often partner with international freight specialists like our good friends, Europa Showfreight (who have been delivering excellent logistical services for the last 10 years), to ensure that specialist items get from dock to destination safely, efficiently and on time. 

 

Who is Europa Showfreight?

Europe Showfreight is an internal logistics company. It consists of three divisions. Europa Road and Europa Air & Sea are dedicated to getting goods from A to B on time, and Europa Warehouse is a 3PL and warehousing expert, that store, pack and dispatches goods.

Read on to find out how we helped. 

PROBLEM

The team at Europe Showfreight needed support moving a printing press from the continent to Norfolk in the UK. The printing press would then need to be installed in a factory. 

There were various problems that we needed to overcome for the client. 

Norfolk might be known for being the flattest county in the UK, but that doesn’t lessen the impact of our notorious country roads when transporting a heavy load! That’s all before we would need to navigate the factory layout to ensure we safeguard the client’s other equipment. The tight spaces inside the factory would mean there would be no room for misalignment.

SOLUTION

To ensure that the printing press was moved and installed correctly, we would need to provide the client with an outstanding plant movement and installation service

With this print press being delivered from the continent, we conducted numerous site inspections to survey the offload area and routes into the factory. 

Several tight turns and overhead obstructions meant this job required a selection of specialist equipment and labour to locate the 25te sections including a Versa Lift and Hydraulic Gantry Lift System. 

As always, we conducted numerous site inspections to survey the offload area and routes into the factory with several tight turns and overhead obstructions it required a selection of specialist equipment and labour to locate the 25te sections including a Versa Lift and Hydraulic Gantry Lift System.

RESULT

All the planning paid off. The move and installation went perfectly, and the printing press was delivered safely. Fortis Heavy Lift Group again delivered the project on time, on budget, and without a scratch.  The client was delighted, and we continue to work closely with Europa Showfreight on an extensive range of projects.
