Our MAXIKraft colleagues in Leipzig were smoothly dancing with cranes at Leipzig main Station. Four long escalators, which lead from the platform level to the underground S-Bahn, had to be replaced on behalf of SCHOLPP Group. This required four cranes, which performed a real ballet for nights on end until all four new escalators were installed. The 22-ton steel construction had to be handed over from one crane hook to the next.
Where platforms 1 and 2 of the main train station used to be, there is now a large atrium that takes passengers down stairs to the S-Bahn. The cranes rolled right up to the edge of the atrium via the rear entrance of the terminal station and positioned themselves in a semicircle in threes with full ballast. Also onsite: A Liebherr LTM 1130-5.1, a Liebherr LTM 1055-3.2 and a Grove GMK 4090 from Leipzig, as well as a Liebherr LTM 1160-5.2 from Wolfen. In order not to damage the marble-like floor beauty, they laid out a plastic driveway beforehand
