Mobile crane service / heavy transport

Within the industrial service division, the Buchen Group site at Stade is the special provider for our mobile crane service and heavy transport. The mobile telescopic cranes, articulated vehicles, low-loaders and goods vehicles with loading cranes are on standby around the clock for our customers, also in emergencies.

Knowledgeable and reliable, the Buchen team offers you high-performance technology and the benefit of many years' experience of lifting and transporting heavy loads.

Lifting and moving loads in confined spaces and at considerable heights demands both precision and perfection. We can assess the requirements exactly and arrange for the right equipment to be used for the relevant application.

For these tasks we offer you the full range of modern telescopic cranes and transport vehicles.

To evaluate your particular problem exactly, we are happy to join you on a site visit.

Crane work and heavy transport are a matter of trust.

Since heavy loads generally differ greatly in shape, weight, dimensions and material, their transportation requires equally diverse, individual solutions. Our extensive experience of handling heavy loads sets high standards for the special vehicles and skilled personnel involved.

Of course, there's much more to perfect heavy haulage than just providing the appropriate vehicle. Getting the route right is of crucial importance. This includes checking the entire journey for any obstacles, such as overly narrow roads through small villages, traffic signs, crash barriers, overhead cables, bridge parapets and traffic lights.

The Buchen Group gets every consignment to its destination by long or short haul trucking, including exceptional loads. For exceptional and heavy loads, the Buchen Group offers a full service package, from dealing with the responsible authorities to traffic control measures and working out the transport routes. Goods up to 65 m long, 10 m high and 9.5 m wide are transported to their destination reliably and quickly.

To satisfy every demand, Buchen has recourse to other companies in the same business, with which it has worked in partnership for many years.
