Lifting of heavy loads and industrial machinery

We design and manage the lifting operations of industrial machinery up to 120 tons, even in conditions of confined spaces and reduced heights.

Industrial machinery lifting

Our industrial lifting service covers machinery, structures, plants, and manufactured items of all types. We handle heavy loads even with height constraints, floor load capacity limitations, and very limited spaces, using equipment dedicated to exceptional lifting operations such as cranes and hydraulic gantries.

Before lifting, we analyze weight, center of gravity, maneuvering area, and obstacles. Based on this data, we select the most suitable equipment—including a 70-ton KT 150 hydraulic crane and a 35-ton Effer 2100 crane—and define a clear work plan for loading, maintenance, installation, or elevated positioning operations.

Heavy load lifting

In industrial heavy load lifting operations, we work on presses, machining centers, plants, structures, and manufactured items that need to be raised and relocated.

When the work cannot be performed with a conventional crane due to space limitations, under-beam height restrictions, or floor load capacity, we use dedicated equipment: hydraulic gantries with capacity up to 125 tons. We can also coordinate two cranes working in synergy on long or unbalanced loads, always ensuring center of gravity control and millimetric movements.

Elevated lifting

For elevated lifting operations, we use long-reach truck-mounted cranes and dedicated accessories, which allow us to raise your load up to approximately 30 meters (depending on weight and radius). We manage the lifting and elevated positioning of metal structures, silos, metalwork, machinery, and other objects to be placed on upper floors or factory roofs.

In these operations, the margin of error is virtually zero: the load must reach the correct height, with the proper inclination and in perfect alignment with the support structure.

Why choose Bettella Cav. Marino for your lifting operations

There are no impossible loads, only lifting operations that require the right approach.

In over 70 years, we have lifted and positioned everything: industrial machinery, complete plants, statues and monumental olive trees, presses weighing hundreds of tons, and photovoltaic panels on roofs that are difficult to reach.

Our strength lies in our ability to transform seemingly unsolvable problems into manageable operations: we combine experience gained from hundreds of lifting operations and a team accustomed to handling non-standard situations, selecting the safest and most effective technical solution each time.

Not just lifting:

Crane transport

Industrial relocations

Disassembly and assembly

Exceptional transport

Rental with operator

Printing machinery

Some examples of completed projects

Every industrial lifting operation tells a different story: from the press to be recovered from a basement to the machining center to be positioned on the fourth floor, from the crushing plant in extreme conditions to photovoltaic panels on difficult roofs.

In our portfolio, you will find operations ranging from the most delicate work to the most demanding challenges: lifting operations abroad, management of industrial emergencies, operations where weight, height, and limited spaces seemed to rule out any solution… until we stepped in.

Nothing Found

Any questions?

We always start with a site inspection and technical survey, then we prepare a work plan that coordinates disassembly, handling, transport, and reassembly with your production schedule.

We usually disassemble the less critical machines first, keeping the essential ones operational until the last moment. At the new site, we do the opposite: we reassemble and commission the strategic machines first, to minimize the period when the company is “uncovered.”

Yes, we often work on used printing machines and web presses. Over time, we have trained mechanics who are well acquainted with various models of graphic equipment; however, it is essential to have the layout, initial configuration, and, when possible, the reference of the technician who serviced the machine, so we can respect the original specifications during disassembly and reassembly.

We can adapt to the situation:
– In some cases, we manage the entire industrial relocation: mechanical disassembly, lifting, internal handling, transport, reassembly, and leveling.
– In other cases, we collaborate with the manufacturer’s technicians or your internal maintenance team: we handle lifting, moving, and logistics, while they take care of electrical connections, air, fluids, and startup.
We define this together during the quotation phase, so everyone knows exactly what they need to do.

Yes. When the machinery is oversized in terms of dimensions or weight, we can arrange exceptional transport complete with permits, technical escorts, and dedicated routes.

We manage industrial relocations both over short distances (within the same industrial area) and over long distances in Italy; in the case of international transfers, we can coordinate with trusted freight forwarders or work with those chosen by the client, while still handling the loading, securing, and unloading of machinery.

Every operation is planned specifically to prevent damage to machinery, floors, and structures: we use appropriate equipment (electric cranes, hydraulic gantries, trolleys, roller conveyors) and controlled lifting and handling procedures.

During the proposal phase, we always indicate the scope of our responsibility and the insurance coverage active on the operation. If, despite precautions, something should happen attributable to our work, the Bettella representative handles the issue directly with the client, without shifting blame to other suppliers.
