Case study

Lifting solutions for photovoltaic ground-mounted systems

Our sister company Traction Levage supported a customer operating in the renewable energy sector who was involved in the construction of a ground-mounted solar farm.

Challenge – Technical and Safety-Critical Requirements

The customer was faced with the demanding task of installing the load-bearing frames in a single, synchronized lifting operation. The key priorities were:

  • Structural stability

  • Occupational safety

  • Precision during lifting

In addition, the work was further complicated by the basic site conditions in an open outdoor environment, where only a limited range of lifting aids and support equipment was available.

As a result, a robust, flexible, and easy-to-deploy lifting solution was required.
