Specialized crane transport
When you need to move industrial machinery, the problem isn’t just finding a crane truck: it’s ensuring that someone takes charge of the handling, loading/unloading, securing, warehouse access, and downtime.
For over 70 years, we have specialized in crane truck transport for industrial machinery, plants, and machine tools, from the province of Padua to all of Italy.
We work with you to study the route, dimensions, and lifting points, ensuring that every crane truck transport—whether it’s a few kilometers or a complete department relocation—takes place safely, on schedule, and without surprises regarding floors, structures, or production.
When crane transport alone is not enough
Industrial Lifting
We manage the transfer of lathes, machining centers, presses, plants, and other machine tools with crane trucks equipped for safe loading, securing, and unloading. We often combine transport with industrial lifting operations. This way, transport and lifting are coordinated by a single point of contact and carried out as a “turnkey” service without improvisation.
Exceptional transport
When weight or dimensions exceed standard limits, we organize oversize load transport: route studies, permits, any technical escorts, and the selection of the most suitable vehicle. The goal is to protect your machinery while avoiding fines, road blocks, or site delays.
Internal handling
Often, arriving at the warehouse isn’t enough: the machinery must be brought inside, moved through corridors, and positioned with millimeter precision in the department. In these cases, we complement crane transport with internal industrial handling using radio-controlled rollers, forklifts, or electric self-propelled cranes, providing you with a single point of contact for the entire journey, from the old loading point to the destination.
Industrial relocations
In an industrial relocation, work with crane trucks is only one part of the project. We can coordinate transport, disassembly, lifting, and reassembly so that critical machines remain operational as long as possible and are the first to restart at the new site, minimizing production downtime.
Temporary storage
If the new warehouse is not yet ready or internal work is delayed, we collect the machinery with crane trucks and take it to an equipped storage facility. Once the space is available, we schedule redelivery with unloading and repositioning, preventing machinery from being left outdoors or “parked” in a makeshift manner.
Why choose Bettella Cav. Marino for your crane transport
Marino Bettella was among the first in Italy to believe in crane transport: in the 1950s, after seeing the first trucks equipped with cranes in Germany, he returned home and invested in this technology when many were still loading by hand with ropes and pulleys.
From that choice, an expertise was born that today combines history and innovation: we have seen vehicles, anchoring systems, and safety evolve and have tested them in the field, tackling even the most complex transports.
When you entrust us with crane transport, you don’t just choose someone with the right equipment, but someone who has been doing this work for generations and knows how to anticipate problems and solutions before they lead to plant downtime or costly unforeseen events.
Some of our crane transports
Every mobile crane transport tells a different story: from a historic press to be recovered from a decommissioned warehouse to a latest-generation machining center to be delivered to an ultra-modern plant. We have transported machinery in impossible situations, found creative solutions for seemingly untransportable loads, and managed industrial relocations that seemed unsolvable.
Our case studies range from the most delicate operations to the most demanding logistical challenges, always with a common denominator: the ability to turn a problem into an effective solution.
