SODILEVE has completed the installation of a 3.2t VM hoist Verlinde overhead crane on a load-bearing structure supplied by the company for an unnamed client.
The recent project is in line with SODILEVE’s role in providing lifting and handling solutions for various industries in Western France.
The installation forms part of SODILEVE’s ongoing operations in the installation and maintenance of lifting, elevation, and ergonomic equipment.
SODILEVE manager Jean Guichard said: “Our latest installation of a 3.2t VM hoist overhead crane Verlinde Lifting Equipment on load-bearing structure from our supply.
“Thank you to our client for their trust.”
