Restoration work in the Cathedral of Barcelona with the Hoeflon C30e and C1e

For a restoration project in the crypt of the Cathedral of Barcelona, Transgruas Salavedra deployed the Hoeflon C30e and C1e to move decorative angel statues.

Working in a historic environment

Projects in monumental buildings often present unique challenges. In the crypt of the Barcelona Cathedral, available space was limited, while the fragile environment demanded work with extreme care. Additionally, the access routes and workspaces made the use of traditional lifting equipment difficult.

Thanks to their compact dimensions, the Hoeflon C30e and C1e were able to move easily through the confined spaces without causing damage to the historic environment.

Compact machines with maximum precision

Precision is essential when moving valuable decorative elements. The combination of precise operation, excellent maneuverability, and impressive lifting capabilities made it possible to safely remove the angel statues and then place them back exactly in their positions.

In this instance, the electric Hoeflon cranes once again proved their added value at locations where control, reliability, and precision are of great importance.

The ideal solution for restoration projects

This project demonstrates how compact lifting equipment creates new possibilities within restoration and renovation work. Where space is limited and the environment allows no risks, the Hoeflon C30e and C1e offer a safe and efficient solution.

Thanks to their compact design, strong performance, and precise control, these cranes are ideally suited for work in historic buildings, churches, monuments, and other locations with challenging access conditions.
