Heavy Lift: Unloading and Precise Positioning of a 170-Ton Ammonia Synthesis Column

Our company performed a complex heavy lift operation involving the safe unloading and accurate positioning of a 170-ton ammonia synthesis column. A key challenge was that the entire heavy equipment unloading and installation took place at night — a necessity to meet the tight project schedule and maintain uninterrupted industrial operations. As is typical in complex industrial equipment relocation projects, certain logistics delays occurred. However, our experienced team ensured that the heavy lift operation continued without delays by working overnight to deliver the project on time. Despite the challenging working conditions — large equipment dimensions, night-time operations and tight deadlines — all tasks were completed with full compliance with health and safety standards, using proven methods for heavy equipment handling. To safely lift and position the ammonia synthesis column, our specialists used the Enerpac SLB-300 hydraulic gantry system — a reliable solution for heavy lifting and precise positioning in confined spaces where a crane cannot be used.
