Placement of a Rubens painting

Heritage meets innovation: a Hoeflon C6e supports the relocation of a Rubens painting in Antwerp.

A unique project recently took place at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp: the relocation of a 690-kilogram painting by Peter Paul Rubens. After extensive restoration, the artwork had to be carefully transported to a location within the museum. A task where precision, control, and reliability were absolutely essential.

To address this challenge, the museum called upon the expertise of Toplifting and the power of the Hoeflon C6e. Thanks to its compact size, electric drive, and refined operation, the mini crane proved to be the ideal solution for this delicate task. In the confined museum space, the C6e maneuvered with extreme precision, allowing the painting to be moved without any risk.

This project perfectly illustrates how modern technology and cultural heritage can go hand in hand. We are proud that Hoeflon's technology has contributed to the preservation and future of this valuable work of art.
