Product catalog summary
The Challenge: Subterra, a construction company specializing in tunnel building, faced a challenge in mounting 6-meter-long, 120 kg pipes in a narrow culvert with limited space. The pipes needed to be mounted 3.4 meters high behind concrete walls, which were installed before the pipes due to construction constraints.
The Solution: Pronomic's Lift&Drive was chosen to address the challenge. The solution involved using two lifting trolleys, each with a telescopic mast and a lifting capacity of 70 kg, to lift the pipes simultaneously at each end. The trolleys are lightweight and maneuverable, making them suitable for tight spaces. A specially designed lifting tool ensured the stability of the pipes during the lifting process.
Safety Features: The Lift&Drive trolleys include several safety features such as a 3-step central brake, stepless control for precise positioning, and overload protection to prevent lifting beyond capacity. These features ensure safe lifting operations without risks to personnel or surroundings.
About Subterra: Subterra is involved in major infrastructure projects like the E4 Bypass Stockholm and the Stockholm metro system. They prioritize work environment safety through systematic risk analysis, safety inspections, and health examinations. Their goal is to create a safe workplace through planning, training, and the use of safety equipment.
Work Environment Award: The Swedish Transport Administration promotes a "Vision Zero" for workplace safety, aiming for no injuries or fatalities. Subterra's implementation of the Lift&Drive solution has qualified them as a contender for the Work Environment Award in the E4 Stockholm Bypass project.
About Pronomic AB: Pronomic has been developing lifting solutions since 1989, providing modular and ergonomic lifting products to enhance productivity and work environments globally.

They contacted us when they needed to li� 6-meter-long drainpipes for moun�ng behind concrete walls down in the tunnels. ”Usually we mount the pipe systems prior to pu�ng up the concrete walls, but unfortunately the fastening of the walls themselves required these be mounted first prior to a�aching the pipes.
