Filter and screen changes
Lift filter candles, screen baskets and rake tines and refit them correctly – usually overhead and in confined positions.
Industry
Handling and plant technology for energy and the environment
In power stations, treatment and processing plants, normal operation is automated – the manual work sits in maintenance and in faults. That is exactly where heavy parts are moved in awkward postures, under time pressure and often by two people. Handling technology turns these exceptions into predictable operations.

01 — Applications
Maintenance is where the accidents happen.
Typical handling tasks in Energy & environment — and what they demand technically.
Pumps and valves
Remove, carry and refit pump casings, gates and valves during maintenance.
Battery and storage modules
Place and replace modules in large-scale storage systems.
Gearbox and generator parts
Handle components in wind and hydro plants during servicing.
Containers and chemicals
Move precipitants, flocculants and cleaning agents in drums and canisters for dosing.
Mobile use at changing locations
One unit on a mobile base plate for maintenance points visited twice a year.
02 — What matters
What Energy & environment demands of handling technology
A maintenance job has no fixture
In production every movement is set up: the station is built, the gripper fits, the height is right. In maintenance the opposite applies – the task comes once a year, in a place not made for it, under time pressure because the plant is down. That is why mobile units on a ballasted base plate are often the right answer here: they need no anchoring and can be used wherever work is happening.
Overhead is the worst of all postures
Filter changes and valve work often take place above shoulder height. Assessment methods rate overhead work under load as particularly unfavourable, and the accident statistics agree. A manipulator holds the component in position while both hands are free to bolt – often the real gain, rather than the lifting itself.
Plant engineering and handling from one source
We come from plant engineering: pipe stress analysis, pipe classes, control valves and safety devices have been our daily work for more than 25 years. That helps exactly where handling technology has to be fitted into an existing plant – because the question of where a unit may stand without touching the pipework then needs no second contractor.
Thermography says beforehand what otherwise shows afterwards
Maintenance includes seeing things before they fail. Our thermographic scan finds hot terminals in switchgear, bearing damage on drives and insulation faults on pipework – during operation, without a shutdown. That is not handling technology, but it belongs in the same week.

05 — Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions from Energy & environment
Are there units without permanent anchoring?
Yes. On a ballasted mobile base plate a unit can be used wherever work is happening – without drilling. The ballast weight follows from payload and reach; we calculate it for your task.
Can you plan handling technology into an existing plant?
Yes, that is our starting point. We come from plant engineering and check clashes with pipework, platforms and access routes in the same CAD model the plant sits in. Where documentation is missing we capture the as-built condition by 3D scan.
Do you also carry out the recurring inspection?
Yes. We inspect lifting equipment and slings as a competent person under German industrial safety regulations and DGUV Rule 54, scheduled and fully documented in the inspection log.
