What heavy lifting & crane services does Klose offer in Zurich?
Industrial operations in Zurich — Switzerland's economic powerhouse with a concentration of precision manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and advanced technology companies — regularly require specialized heavy lifting solutions that go beyond conventional crane hire. Klose Industrial Service brings its own fleet of electric pick-and-carry cranes, hydraulic gantry systems, and jacking equipment to projects throughout Zurich and the wider Switzerland region. Our equipment is purpose-built for indoor industrial environments, including emission-free electric cranes that can operate inside active production facilities, cleanrooms, and confined spaces where conventional diesel cranes cannot.
What lifting equipment fleet is available in Zurich?
Our Zurich operations draw on a comprehensive equipment fleet including Valla electric pick-and-carry cranes (7.5 to 25 tonnes), JMG electric cranes (up to 16 tonnes), Liebherr tower cranes, heavy-duty forklifts from 3 to 10 tonnes, hydraulic gantry systems for loads exceeding 100 tonnes, and a full range of rigging accessories. All equipment is maintained to German quality standards and operated exclusively by our own trained technicians — never subcontracted operators.
How does Klose ensure precision machinery installation in Zurich?
Beyond lifting, our teams in Zurich specialize in the precision positioning and installation of industrial machinery. This includes laser-guided alignment, anti-vibration mounting, and leveling to manufacturer specifications. Whether installing CNC machines, press lines, turbines, printing presses, or pharmaceutical equipment, we ensure every piece of machinery is positioned and secured for optimal performance from day one.
Can you lift in indoor and confined spaces in Zurich?
Many industrial lifting challenges in Zurich involve tight spaces, low headroom, sensitive flooring, or active production environments. Our electric pick-and-carry cranes produce zero emissions and minimal noise, making them ideal for indoor operations. With compact dimensions and exceptional maneuverability, our fleet can operate in spaces that are inaccessible to conventional mobile cranes, providing lifting solutions exactly where they are needed most.
Own crane fleet vs. crane hire in Zurich
| Klose own fleet & operators | External crane hire | |
|---|---|---|
| Accountability | One team responsible for the lift and the result | Split between the hire firm and your own riggers |
| Indoor capability | Emission-free electric cranes work inside active halls | Diesel cranes often barred from indoor use |
| Operators | Klose's own trained crane operators and riggers | Operators vary with whoever is dispatched |
| Safety | Consistent safety record (zero loss-time incidents) | Variable, depending on the crew supplied |
| Scope | Lift, position, align, and commission in one go | Lifting only — alignment is left to you |
A lift is only as good as where the machine ends up — we don't leave until it's positioned, aligned, and ready to run.
Heavy lifting & crane services in Zurich — frequently asked questions
- Do you bring your own cranes and operators to Zurich?
- Yes. Klose works with its own fleet and its own trained crane operators and riggers in Zurich — never subcontracted equipment or crews. That single chain of responsibility keeps safety, scheduling, and quality consistent on every lift.
- Can you lift heavy machinery indoors in Zurich?
- Yes. Klose's electric pick-and-carry cranes are emission-free and low-noise, so they can operate inside active production halls, cleanrooms, and confined spaces where conventional diesel cranes cannot. Their compact dimensions allow lifting in tight, low-headroom areas.
- What lifting capacity is available in Zurich?
- The fleet covers Valla and JMG electric pick-and-carry cranes from 7.5 to 25 tonnes, plus hydraulic gantry systems for loads exceeding 100 tonnes and a full range of rigging accessories — sized to the job rather than to whatever a hire firm has free.
- Do you also position and align the machine after lifting?
- Yes. Lifting is only part of the job. Klose handles precision positioning, laser-guided alignment, leveling to manufacturer specification, and anti-vibration mounting, so the machine is ready to run once it is set down.
