How We Helped Nestlé
Our team were contacted by Cereal Partners UK (Nestlé) to assist in the complete removal and installation of a new CHP Engine, motor, and gearbox.
We first lifted the new 5.5-tonne gas turbine engine and gearbox out of the transport crate and placed the engine onto its skid, which the manufacturer uses to install it into the machine.
The more difficult part of the job was lifting the gearbox in and out of the machine, as it weighed 2000kg and was 1.5 metres inside the machine. Using our specialist equipment and highly skilled team, this was completed without any problems.
