Lifting and installing eco panels up to 25 meters long with the CladBoy CB5

During the construction of an entire industrial building, Lamcon Constructie & Montage was confronted with several challenges. One challenge was the limited space in which they had to maneuver, making the installation of the roof and wall panels quite tricky. And, instead of the standard sandwich panels, they were using eco panels which are thinner, lighter and more flexible, but are also more prone to bending. And as if that is not enough, these panels were 25 meters long. In other words, a great job for the CladBoy CB5!
More about this project

To ensure smooth installation, a Cladboy CB5 was used in combination with a chainset. This prevents bending and allows the panels to hang beautifully horizontally, making them easier to maneuver. The optional radio remote control for suction and unloading was a pleasant addition, as it eliminated the need to walk back and forth to the base unit. With 25-meter long panels, that’s a time saver!

Wim Lam (owner of Lamcon) regularly works with VIAVAC’s lifting equipment’s and is very satisfied with the CladBoy CB5:

“In school, I used to be satisfied with a six out of ten, but I give full marks to VIAVAC’s products!”

Connect and play: Quick start with the CladBoy CB5 telescopic

Middendorp Montage recently deployed the CladBoy CB5 with telescopic traverse. This impressive vacuum lifter ensures that the assembly team can get to work quickly. After connecting the vacuum lifter to the crane, lifting can start immediately. When retracted, the vacuum lifter has a reach of 5 metres. This makes it easy to transport with an extended trailer of 5 metres or more.
More about this project

With the telescopic traverse, panels up to 24 metres can be lifted. The great advantage of this model is that no additional chain suspension is required. This contributes significantly to the start-up time of a project. So it’s just; connect and play.
Middendorp Montage has used the vacuum lifter for the extension of a company hall in Breezand. They have used 21 metres long panels with a thickness of 100 mm for the realisation.

Assembly teams often choose for the telescopic version of the CladBoy CB5 when working with multiple-sized panels. Adjusting the reach is quicker and easier with the telescopic arms.

Glass lifter “VIAVAC GBH-1800” now also available abroad

After a successful introduction of our latest glass lifter, VIAVAC GBH-1800, in the Netherlands, it is now also working hard across the border. For the renovation and extension of the Academy of Fine and Applied Arts in Belgium, the VIAVAC GBH-1800 has been successfully deployed, and the installation process is almost complete.

More about this project

After all the concrete facade structures were finished, the large, 900 kg glass elements were installed. A job perfect for the VIAVAC GBH-1800! The equipment not only had to have the ability to lift heavy glass elements but also rotate the elements while lifting. In fact, the glass elements were delivered horizontally and had to be installed vertically that same day.

The VIAVAC GBH-1800 rotated the 900 kg glass elements easily, thanks to its electric rotary mechanism. This rotary mechanism is controlled by a compact radio remote control. The tilt-and-turn mechanism saved physical effort on the part of the installation team, as they did not have to do this manually.

Renovation of the building was much needed, as the building dates back to 1978. The building is expected to be completed this summer, and young and old will once again be able to express themselves artistically through dance, painting, sculpture, singing, acting, music and much more.

One vacuum lifter for installing wal land roof panels

A frequently used configuration that we have rarely shared. The images above show the CladBoy CB5 – with a dual vacuum circuit – lifting a 12 meter long vertical wall panel. This configuration has been used by M3 Ruimtebouwers for their project.
More about this project

Double vacuum circuit

The CladBoy CB5 has a double vacuum circuit. Which means that the use of extra safety straps is not mandatory on the construction site. Not having to use the straps simplifies and speeds up the installation. Above all, it ensures that the men (and woman) on the construction site can lift and assemble safely.

Wall and roof

The CladBoy is not only used by M3 Ruimtebouwers for mounting wall panels, but also for installing steel roof plates. A conscious choice was made for a modular vacuum lifter, so that the project could be realized by only using one machine.
The utility building is located along the North Sea Canal in Amsterdam and is used as a terminal. Cocoa, among other things, is stored in the 30,000 m2 hall. Also, there is also an office space.

Construction new data center Facebook with VIAVAC vacuum lifters

Currently, the construction of the new Facebook data center is underway in Odense, Denmark. This data center will be one of the most advanced and energy-efficient buildings of its kind. The Dutch construction company TSV is participating in this project and using VIAVAC’s vacuum lifters.

More about this project

For the construction of the enormous roof of the Facebook data center, several parties are using a variety of VIAVAC’s vacuum lifters. Specifically for this project, TSV purchased two new CladBoy CB4s, which are being used to install steel roof panels in this building.

Facebook’s decision to build the center in Odense was made because of the favorable climate. The company will save money on air-conditioning that would otherwise have wasted energy. With a surface area of 56,000 square meters, this is Facebook’s third data center outside the US. The servers in the data center will store pictures, videos and other information.

New CladMaster installs sandwich panels under grandstand

The new CladMaster was successfully deployed at the Geusselt stadium in the Dutch town of Maastricht. Kempen Cladding hired this vacuum lifter and installed sandwich panels with a core material of stone wool on the underside of the grandstand.

More about this project

The MVV Maastricht football stadium was extended with a sports hall, for which a part of the space below the grandstand was used. To apply insulation to this space, approximately 300 insulation panels weighing 200 kilograms each were installed at an angle of 36° and up to a height of 14 meters on the underside of the grandstand.

The CladMaster is most convenient for this type of job; installed using a forklift, the panels can be transported and installed in an efficient and safe way.

Thanks to six hydraulically powered movements, the panels can be placed with millimeter-level accuracy. The movements can be proportionally operated at two speeds by radiographic remote control.

Thanks to the VIAVAC CladMaster, this job was finished on schedule and executed in compliance with all health and safety standards.

New roof for storage warehouse

The roof of an existing warehouse was replaced and expanded at the same time. The old roofing was replaced by sandwich roof panels, after which the enlarged area was equipped with solar panels. This was all carried out using the CladBoy CB5.

More about this project

Using 21-meter-long panels, we were able to span the entire roof construction and did not need to adjust the existing supporting structure. Because the vacuum lifter has suction pads in several locations, the sandwich panels will not bend during lifting. Using the CladBoy CB5 with dual-vacuum technique, additional safety straps are no longer a requirement.

The installation of more than 1,200 m2 of roof panels was carried out by the construction company Lont. The mechanics using the VIAVAC vacuum lifter were very pleased with its convenience and speed.

Moscow’s Highest skyscraper in Europe

In the middle of Moscow’s business center stands Europe’s highest skyscraper, the Federation Tower. During construction, the VIAVAC compact GB-750 was used to install glass panels. The construction of the 373.7-meter, ninety-five-floor tower, was completed in 2016.

More about this project

Assembling the glass roof construction of the upper floors was particularly daunting, as the highly experienced specialized assembly team was faced with high winds, snow and temperatures down to −20° C, as well as the complicated positioning of the glass.

The roof construction’s glass elements were installed with the help of the VIAVAC compact GB-750. In order to accomplish this, the tilting function of the vacuum lifter was used to place the glass in the correct position.

Installing curved glass at the Atrium Tower Amsterdam

A considerable effort is currently under way to renovate the famous Atrium office building in Amsterdam. In addition to the renovation of the current premises, two further towers are being built to expand the office complex. In order to alternate between workplaces and light, open spaces, the company Octatube from Delft is integrating seven winter gardens into in the corners of the towers.

More about this project

The corners of the winter gardens consist of large, warm, curved glass elements. Octatube hired the VIAVAC compact Curved glass lifter to install these elements. This machine is designed specifically for placing curved glass elements, and can be adjusted to accommodate different radii. In addition, with the VIAVAC compact Curved, the elements can easily be rotated (360°) and tilted (90°) from their transport position.

For this project, Octatube is also using the VIAVAC GBX for the installation of flat glass elements. This glass lifter is suitable for lifting elements up to a weight of 800 kilograms.

Both glass lifters feature two independent vacuum circuits, eliminating the need for safety straps and allowing efficient operation. In addition to the option to rent, VIAVAC also offers the vacuum lifting tools for sale.
