Mona Lifting has delivered a turnkey Electrical Overhead Travelling (EOT) crane project for CERN, managing the full scope from design and manufacturing to on-site installation and commissioning.
The company managed the full delivery of the project, including design, manufacture, testing, packing and shipping from its facility, followed by installation, commissioning, waste management, testing and operator training at CERN.
The project involved restricted site access, which required the team to position the crane through a limited roof opening with a mobile crane.
Mona Lifting said: “A great example of collaboration, problem-solving, and delivering engineered lifting solutions in demanding environments.”
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is an intergovernmental organisation that operates the world’s largest particle physics laboratory located in Geneva, Switzerland.
Mona Lifting is part of Mona Group, which provides lifting and materials handling, crane design and installation, engineering, and industrial blast cleaning and coating services.
The business is based in North Wales and undertakes work across the UK and mainland Europe. It has also exported fabricated and engineered items worldwide.
The group works across sectors including marine, rail and transport, civil engineering, water treatment, manufacturing, food processing, nuclear, aerospace, renewables, oil and gas, and science and research.
Its services include in-house design, fabrication, transport, installation, testing and inspection.
In March, Mona Lifting installed an EOT at CERN. The company designed, manufactured and commissioned the lifting equipment to meet CERN’s technical and safety requirements.
The crane features a control system with variable speed operation, travel limit devices, forced ventilation and other safety functions for use in research facilities.
