Construction elevator time: A complex top project with Verhelst Machines
Our client Wycotec is currently working on the restoration of the facade of ZNA Middelheim in Antwerp, and Verhelst Machines provides necessary support. For easy vertical transport, a Geda 1200 Z/ZP Construction Hoist was rented. However, the job was anything but simple, given that the facade does not run straight up. Thanks to the ingenious system of Verhelst Machines, which is custom-made for the client, the construction hoist could still be placed at a relatively far distance from the facade and anchored to the client's scaffolding. It was a challenging project, but the professional approach of Verhelst Machines and the flexible solutions ensured a successful outcome. Verhelst Machines continues to be committed to offering the best and most efficient solutions to its clients. Thanks to years of experience and expertise, we can bring complex projects to a successful conclusion.

Increase Wolff 7032.12 and 7534.16 on the East Bank
Speaking of a work of level. At the Central Park yard in Ostend, D'hoore Construct is building towering apartment buildings with a view of the sea and the city's skyline. "A piece of New York in Ostend," it sounds. Next to the buildings, you see tower cranes from Verhelst Machines gleaming. Two of them, the ones around the Central Park Tower, were anchored and raised last month - just in time for Open Construction Day. It provided an impressive sight! The Central Park Tower on Oosteroever will have no fewer than 22 floors. And to build that high, you naturally need high tower cranes. Our specialty! With an LTM1500-8.1 mobile crane with tension, and with a 77-meter movable jib, we reach a height of 122 meters: not an unnecessary luxury for such jobs. First, we anchored both tower cranes on the 13th and 14th floors of the Central Park Tower. Then the Wolff 7032.12 was raised by 36 meters to 104.6 meters under the hook, followed by the Wolff 7534.16, which was raised by 31.5 meters to 97.5 meters under the hook. All just in time for Open Construction Day. Watch the video and discover how Verhelst Machines got the job done.
